Hello!
Since some days I have a Starter Rack 2. In addition I have installed Slew/Edge and an ADSR!
Still ordered I have the QUANTIZER and a GRUNGE FILTER, but the delivery is open. A 2SIGNALAMP is here, but not installed at the moment.
I surely will need addition patching wires and a 4VCA.
Since month I have ideas for some new modules. I have started to buy some material, draw some diagrams with EasyEDA and make some tests. Sometimes there will be one of my own modules at the rack
I have connected an AKAI MINIAK by Midi which is working well with the AE.
I have found out that the Mastermodule is receiving the pitch bend wheel of the MINIAK. Very fine! It would be nice if the sustain pedal would keep the gate output on high if it is pressed. So currently it is not supported!
The two outputs of the AE Modular are connected to a Presonous Firestudio Project, which is linked to my PC. I use Presonous Studio One DAW software. So it is easy to record and add something like effects or additional tracks. With wavelab I am able to modify audio files.
For monitoring I use EVE SC205 active monitor speakers.
In my room a have a lot of addition equipment from drum-set, Roland RD700 piano, Technics AX7 keyboard, Casio CZ-101 synth to some guitars and bass guitars with amps and effects. Long time ago I assembly a Wersi Stage piano, which is still here but it would need some refurbishment.
Till now a use mainly the DAW with plugins or with instruments to create music. I started in the 80's with a sequencer software under DOS and a simple midi interface to the Technics AX7 to program music.
So my AE Modular era has started!

Finally got the chance to try and perform with my setup! There's this monthly improv session event in my town, mainly run by these local artsy-fartsy free jazz legends. Heard one of the guest musicians (Jason Kahn is the name) will also be bringing a modular rig so figured I'd sieze the chance to try something new and preach the gospel of AE, not a lot of musicians with modulars round these parts. Guess this is also nice chance to show off my (main) rack finally, mostly see it as a portable drum/noise machine/groovebox to accompany other musicians/instruments. In this case it seemed useful as there was no drumkit set up, but those jazz guys don't really follow beats so I ended up just creating some ambiance, there'll be a recording out eventually. I'm a "punk" guitarist primarily, haven't been doing the electronic thing for a long time although I actually started out my "musician" journey at 17 with no input mixing, so I always loved the idea of twisting knobs to make music. Quite straightforward patch here with the amazing Topograf doing the heavy lifting, honorable mentions go to Kastle and O_c (REALLY hope those become a thing again, for the sake of AE in general). Got into Ryoji Ikeda recently and that seemed like a neat simple kind of thing to try and pull off on the modular, not seeing a lot of that online for some reason. Maybe those guys are just making actual music instead of hanging on the internet? One can only hope. Recorded some random messing about before I tear it all down, definitely still got a lot to learn as far as performing with this stuff goes. drive.google.com/file/d/1mM21DBbQq_xUxeLDDQyFyHHsu4C9qzZa/view?usp=drivesdkAttachments:

Just installed my newly arrived module: uWNDCOMP. Also added some red poti caps and extra long patch cables that reach across the whole rack :-) LFO (somewhere between triangle and saw) into comparator makes a nice Dilla time clock generator! Attachments:

This is my newly completed AE modular system - I had completed it at least once before but had a change of plan.... The newest module are the Wonkystuff Snare and Baestle Arp, both in the bottom rack. My TW Samplyr and last uModule base arrived (finally!) to complete my main rack, along with the uENV and uMIX, (a uDistortion was waiting for a home). I also re-installed my logic module as decided to keep that....
The lower rack is easily removable (has a power module) and is aimed at being a "Percussion synth" to be used elsewhere in the studio or out somewhere; but it all sits normally next to my MPC1 as that is the main way I trigger/play my AE modular these days.
