2020 a year in gear (what have you/are you bought/buying?)

[rob_lee]

Great I shop at both of those, I’ve noticed some of my gear can control cv stuff like the Akai mpcx and Hydra synth,

Did you not have a Beatstep Pro as well?

do you recommend tip top audio modules or are there good alternatives as I’m looking for percussion and drums?

Sorry, not so up on analog drum modules. (Im generally in sample-playing module territory for percussion sounds)
Tip Top are a great brand in general, though, and pretty popular. The one drum module Ive noticed 'everyone' seems to have is the Iteratas Alter, but its digital.
Cant think offhand who else does analog drum modules. MFB used to do all their analog drum machine 'bits' as independent modules, dont know if they still do.

Yeah I’ve got a black BSP I sold the other one, Do you guys look on that modular grid too, it seems great?

Do you guys look on that modular grid too, it seems great?

Yeah, Ive even paid for the sub a coupla times too because I wound up with a lot of variations trying to reorganise/plan my racks.

[vurt]

yup i need to plan the next rack

Thanks mate where’s the best places online to shop for these 19” cases and do some of them come with the power supplies?

Here's another option, I have bought from..
they also do cases and various power supplies... they've been around a while and specialise in this stuff...

and good on the phone, very helpful.

For power, I have kept it simple and used 4ms Row Power... it's a module, takes 4HP and runs from a power brick. It's easy to expand a system without having to dig into power supply and buss boards just add another row power on the next frame

Tiptop also do a similar system.. I think vurt uses them

Thanks, so I'd just basically need one of these then start adding modules?

in a word... YES ))))

It's a very easy way to get going

I think pulp logic is the cheapest I’ve seen for rails. They are not automatically sold in pairs, but 2 x 84 hp (one 19” 3u row) is $30 US. Dunno with shipping and whatnot.

Tons of guys selling them on Etsy and Reverb as well.

Great, on my new Thomann desk I have 2x4u where i could put one of these either side as I build my modular.

the company I linked do pairs of 104hp for £30 .. shipping will be cheaper and no import tax..
BUT
trouble with going that way is the fixings needed to rack mount them.. I think Rob just wants to get something he can just bolt into a studio 19" rack and be done .

Was gonna use the extra 1u above each rack for rack lighting.. I could always build a desktop modular later if I purchased more.
I can see before I even start that this is gonna be like weed with me coming back for more modules every other month

[rob_lee]

I think Rob just wants to get something he can just bolt into a studio 19" rack and be done .

Yes this is what I want.. On my desk I have x2 4u angled rack spaces, would like 2x 3u either side and then I'd put a 1u rack light strip either side to fill the space.
