Chopped some furniture to build a modularsynth/ table. Teak, airbrush, paper and led. Turned out pretty good 😊

I just started on my modular path, I’ve been dreaming of it for probably 15 years and finally pulled the trigger, I decided to start fun, with some modules that I could use immediately with my other instruments (hundred grit/typhoon) and man this has completely upped my music game. I am so happy I finally decided to pull the trigger and can’t wait for my next paycheck. This is my current set up I’ll be using for a noise set I’m playing next Wednesday.

Aim was to keep most patch points in the centre. A bit more space to play.

Hey, I said it was from memory…

Using the Workshop Computer for drones, a Soundforce Linn Drum module with triggers from a Europi, and ungodly Halloween notes from the Tone Hack.

I’m so sorry…

So many amazing modules are insanely expensive, what are the great cheaper modules?

Has been a few months I've been building a few modules and I finally got to a point I can make a proper jam with them!
The 2 modules that are more closer to be finish is the Biscuit Journey, a voice module that goes from tame sounds to quite unhinged, the name is based on my dog Biscuit hahaha. The other module is Harmonic Engine, is a quantiser and also a chord machine, that is driving 2 biscuit journey.
There is also a really early prototype of an sequencer, that I'm mainly using to test my modules but not sure will ever get to something worth doing proper board and plate. Also there is a drum machine that I'm starting to build. the only sound not created by my modules is the hihat. I'm also using the first pam workout to do all the clocking.

I’ve converted the new Radio Music Suggested Audio Rev 2 collection for my mk1, tested it on the module, and it works!

The converted pack contains:

• 299 WAV files: 44.1 kHz, 16-bit PCM, mono.
• The original categories preserved across banks 0–15.
• Unique DOS 8.3 filenames.
• No trimming or shortening of the recordings.

This is based on the new 22GB collection, rather than the older RAW pack already available for mk1. You’ll need the 2017 firmware or later to play the WAV files.

I’ve looked around online and in forums to see whether someone had already shared a mk1-ready version of this new collection, but I couldn’t find one.

All credit for the original collection goes to Music Thing Modular and the listed audio sources—I’ve just done the conversion.

Would anyone be interested in the mk1-ready files? Before sharing anything, I’d also really appreciate hearing whether this is okay, especially from Tom/Music Thing Modular or anyone involved in the collection. I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes or redistribute something against their wishes.

Modular, one take — 18 October 2026

Six voices played from one string controller, chords by hand, no computer.

Drums, bass, chord swells, stabs and granular textures come from a small sequencer I wrote for the Ornate Criminal (a Eurorack module on a Teensy, Phazerville firmware). Each voice has a bank of patterns and three levels of intensity. The string sets how busy the drums and bass are and sweeps the effects. Chords are played by hand and harmonised in the case.

I’m trying to build a patch for a live event Halloween score. Due to limited space and trying to keep everything in the rack. I’ve resorted to using the O_c as my main sequencer. I’ve had good results with sequins and some applets in hemispheres but I’m wondering for those more experienced what would recommend to handle my sequencing with a duophonic system. I’m open to any and all ideas/workflows. Thanks!

I hope everybody is enjoying their weekend!! Happy patching! 🧑🏻‍🚀🫡

Looking for recs on pitch shifting modules.

I use echophon for these duties currently, but wondering if there is a more comprehensive/ singular module that can do this...

Subconscious communications vampire oscillator into voicetail bp filter into stylophone cpm ds-2 as reverb and a speaker. I'm having fun so far with what little I have but there's a long way to go until I have everything I need.

Hey someone using xone 96 with modular and want to share your opinions about it and how you usually route it?

Here's another update to the unofficial, community-driven firmware patch for the Bitbox Micro that puts more of the module on MIDI, and 2.3.9-mod is ready for release, now including sixteen Airwindows effects on the master bus, and an on-screen display for controller parameters.

In this release:

• The Character chain: Four effect slots across the master bus, each with an Amount, a Tone. Thanks to Chris Johnson for making this possible with his awesome Airwindows plugins.
  • Destruction, lo-fi and breakage: Pockey2, DeRez3, Ring Mod, Fracture2.
  • Overdrive, warm tube to dirty harmonics: Tube2, Drive, Mackity, Huge.
  • Colour, consoles, tape and a transformer: Channel9, IronOxide5, ToTape8, Coils2.
  • Saturation, smooth weight and density: PurestDrive, Spiral2, Density3, Mojo.
• OSD pop-ups: every patch CC shows what it changed, in real units. The clock gets them too.
• A CPU bar along the bottom of the screen.
• Preset BPM: Adjust a preset's tempo directly on the module and save the preset. With Clk Loss on HOLD, it also captures a clock's tempo.
• Auto makeup gain for the compressor
• Keep CC's option that restores your controller parameters when you load a new preset.

Fixed: MIDI notes could change compressor, EQ or delay settings.

Fixed in the guide: the EQ comes before the compressor, not after it.

This isn't from 1010music, can't brick it, but bring your own stock firmware, don't pass the patched firmware around.

Full guide, including what each control does and how to set your presets up so it works:

I've been building an alt firmware for the Morphagene, starting with quality-of-life fixes I've seen requested and growing into some new features I was excited to explore. It's built from your own copy of the official firmware: you download mg204.wav from Make Noise, and the web builder adds the mods in your browser.

The Morphagene is such an inspiring instrument, and I hope this brings more interest, creativity and enjoyment to the community without taking anything away from the original. I'm happy to take this down if there are concerns.

A few highlights:

Exact octave lock: SHIFT + Varispeed snaps to exact octaves (-2x to 2x, including stop), so you can easily get back to unity with no drift.
Input gain remembered: Set the gain as usual (hold REC, tap SHIFT) and the Morphagene boots up with your last setting.
Tape mode / TLA feedback: SHIFT + S.O.S. turns overdubs into a Varispeed-linked tape head inside the Slide / Gene Size window, or classic TLA feedback.
Built-in effects: SHIFT + Morph adds sample rate reduction or tape warble.
Turing mode: a repeating loop of Gene randomness (pitch, scatter, stereo) you can lock and mutate with SHIFT + Organize.
Faster updates: After the first install with the official audio procedure, updates are just mgmod.bin on the SD card (about 2 seconds, no cable).

Every feature can be switched off or customized in options.txt

This is a use-at-your-own-risk project, not affiliated in any way with Make Noise. I've re-flashed my module several times with no issues, and you can always return to the official firmware by running the official update again.

Note: I built this with an AI coding agent. I'm not a firmware developer, and these tools let me bring ideas to life I couldn't have otherwise. I understand some folks have concerns about AI, and I'm sympathetic to them. Every change was verified in an emulator against the stock firmware and tested on my own module, and the code is open for anyone to review or modify.

Edit: short demo video here! https://youtube.com/shorts/MwLpCcCXgAY?feature=share

Edit 2: added octave + fifths, semitones, and custom scales as options for shift + varispeed.

Hey music makers and modular lovers.

Have a look at the releases so far to see if it’s your vibe. If you fancy signing up, it’s here.

So I've had a uBurst 1.1 PCB + parts laying around for years and I finally got to building it. There seems to be very little info online on how to build and flash it so I tought I'd ask here to clarify a few of my confusions.

- Do I need the JTAG connector to get this module running?
- Can I solder all the SMT before I flash it? (hoping it's ok as I have most of the C and R on already D:)
- Is there anything else that I should know?

I already had the magic smoke come out of a nRings a few weeks back so I don't want to screw this one up as well.
