Cementimental, honestly, Arduino isn't so great soundwise.
Yeah that was kind of hyperbole... just find it odd that for a format geared up to perfect 12v analog synthesis people are so excited about all this fairly basic DSP stuff.

Monotome, no worries!
Cementimental, I think Eurorack is a world in between plenty of platforms. It's for the people who can't afford the crazy expensive stuff, enjoy the gadget thing you won't find in 5U, and don't want to learn how Serge works. I feel like it's often less about the sound and more about the options you have to do things with it. That's not where my interest lies but to each their own I suppose...

yeah true it is interesting in that regard. i'm especially interested in the possibilities of incorporating live video fx and synthesis into modular setups. The LZX stuff looks amazing for this but I'm planning to DIY it, some simple Composite to VGA hacks i've tried in the past will lend them well to converting analog video to seperate RGB signals to be wrecked by other modules then recombined :)

That's an extremely interesting area I haven't explored at all but I'd rather not do so as I think I have enough nerdy and time-consuming interests at the moment. It does look amazing though.

Would be interested to hear about people's experiences with DIYing modules from kits, good kits to start with etc. I seem to get the impression that more utilitarian modules like a simple VCA etc. would be relatively easy to DIY? After using VCV Rack extensively over the past few months I think I would like to put together a small (84-104 hp) flesh & bone system based around the MI Clouds. TALK TO ME, PEOPLE.

UPDATE: i got a Wasp... haven't had any time to even do much of anything with my modular recently... started building the world's smallest eurorack :D  Nobody's mentioned this yet I don't think: https://x1l3.bigcartel.com/ specifically Harsh Noise/Power Electronics modules ! Look great.

Look great. Is this a standalone 1U case? If so bravo! I remember on muffwigglers seeing someone posting a full 1U system (apart from buying them all seperately). I recently got me a Piston Honda and it really really has got the edge in terms of aggressive low end and hyper active high end. Fucking menacing.

It is indeed :) I have an LFO kit on the way then the 3rd space will make a DIY 1u from one or two of the Electric Druid or DSPsynthesisers digital ICs i ordered ages ago, a noise source and maybe something else if there's room

Look great. X1l3 modules are great I have Shard and Wreckage they are monsters really recommended. I really like eurorack for making noise and the second hand market is really good, the price drop makes it really affordable (when buying second hand) and the amount out there means that you can get what you want with out much hassle.

Got something like a functional setup now (albeit still in a cardboard box case ha), fun times so far. got the doepfer FX send/return module the other day so can soon get into incorporating this into pedal setups which was my main aim for eurorack stuff to begin with https://www.facebook.com/cementimental/videos/548255465644517 yeah sorry facebook video :-/

Built an RSR resistor ladder DAC module, suuper easy and seems really promising. Just a cheap mult panel i picked up on a whim, cheap chinese jacks, handful of 10 and 20k resistors chained from the top jack to ground at the bottom. Stole the idea from here - https://www.olegtron.com/olegtron-r2r-1 - which explains the principles and use better than i can. It's basically a kind of weighted fixed mixer, where the volume of signals is related to where in the chain you plug them in. If you give it multiple square waves you get interesting stepped waveforms, if you give it other stuff you get other weirdness, and you can use any jack as an input or an output :) my kind of thing  need to get my head around whether it would make any sense at all to build a matrix version and if so buiild one :) Also brought the Eurorack out live for the first time for Cementimental gig in Leeds. :)  it's 2019 this forum really needs to start scaling large images

That sounds really nice and a project I could get into. Mults are always useful, and weird ones even more. I just got an O_C and a Temps Utile in the mail. I need mults because 4 outputs on the O_C aren't enough haha. And I need mults for my Maths too. I've only filled 4.5U of my 12U 114hp rack yet...
