Ooh, I like This Modular Rack...

I suppose i just ask.
Can somebody explain how you can connect TouchOsc on an ipad with a modular rig?

Disting Ex can be operated via an on screen editor which is much nicer than a tiny screen.
It uses the TouchOSC platform, sending midi messages. Not sure how to connect it to modular though (preferably wirelessly).

I don't think that you ca do it wireless. It's over midi. You can get a midi expander for the Disting for $50. It's an easy enough DIY. Then you need some way to get midi out of your ipad. You can get cables from amazon that work for this.

put the midi input on the other side, it will get in the way less.

With patience and the right tools, you can get it out. Small flat screwdrivers can be used to depress the contacts. While doing this you need to shake and try to get things to come loose.

No amount of screwdriver jiggling has worked so far. Opened up the Polaris pedal but the jack socket is a sealed unit fixed to the circuit board. No way in. Stressful putting it back together, aligning the pin contacts was fiddly in the extreme.

Some on Google have had success with a drill bit partly drilled into the jack end. Not sure I am brave enough

I love filters, but 4 filters to one dedicated oscillator is a bold choice especially when a lot of the oscillator modes don't really need filtering. Are you mostly planning to use them with external sources? If so I'd add more modulation sources.

How well do those filters self-oscillate? The God's Box Humpback was really useful when my setup was <84hp because as well as sounding great it doubles as a pretty decent sine oscillator.

they're additional flavour filters for the arp2600.

Ah, that makes sense! I tried to look back through thread for context but the conversations got a bit tangled.

In which case might I suggest for consideration:

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/nonlinear ... s-resonate - a very different kind of filtering

Wave folders - to bring some West-coast harshness in before those filters!

oh no sorry, for the moog grandma someone else went arp.

Filters : I do love filters. You noticed that huh. Well, the forbidden planet is just in there to be thorough but i m in no rush regarding that filter. But the wasp will be in there fast. Besides, any soundsource deserves some nasty filtering. I don t discriminate here

Oscillators: i have a Moog Grandmother as the basis for my setup providing different oscillators and noise. The brains is a macro oscillator but you are forgetting about the Disting which is so many things and a soundsource is one of them. Classic oscillators, but MI Rings and Braids have also been integrated, there is also a polysynth and multi sampler. Hell, maybe they are working right now on integrating Plaits as well. At which point, i don t need Behringer Brains anymore.

Modulation: I didn t mention that i have other stuff lying around here too. One of which is a Hydrasynth. I m hoping that this one can provide a lot of the modulation /sequencing, added upon the modulation grandmother can provide. I could e.g. internally create a complex modulator in Hydrasynth, having 2 lfo's interact with each other and then send this combined signal out as a modulator. If hydrasynth proves to be an unsuccesfull route, then for sure i will need to come up with another approach for modulation.

Wavefolders: I did look at the Taiga as well, which has a wavefolder on each oscillator. I m a bit surprised that not any of the setups shown here has a wavefolder. I did some tests in software modular, and my inital excitement of wavefolders is somewhat diminished. BUT, i made sure, the Disting has a wavefolder, so that is covered . Wavefolder, wasp, borg : there will be nastyness

If you’re in the UK the black Doepfer Wasp can be had for £67.

it's not like i didn't try to push the west pest all over the place in the semi modular threads

Even if you’re not, and are in the US, this still looks like a great deal. I’m seeing international shipping at just $11.

then why does getting stuff from you to us cost so much??

[Stefken]

Thank you guys. I can get it from Thomann with free shipping for pretty much the same price.
