Ooh, I like This Modular Rack...

beefaco, kind of makes me think of beefaroni or somethin. Somehow that has always turned me off to them.

Noise Plethora is loads of fun. Probably a bit too expensive for what it is (three noise sources and some filters and mod sources), but it’s great.

Arrrghh…….. My new Wasp filter has stopped filtering in low pass mode!! Band pass still works. Are Doepfer modules generally reliable? Not a good start to my modular journey

if you bought it new send it back

Doepfer generally are reliable but I've heard a few people having issues with the Wasp filter burning out ICs.

This one is really nice for soundscapes and drones.

Pretty inventive modules on their site. I guess we ll be hearing from them.

So I have contacted Juno re my faulty Wasp and thay want me to send them a video of me turning the frequency and resonance knobs with negligible effect when the output level is low anyway (all for a £70 bit of kit) I am no Luddite but is customer service over reliant on technology and lacking in trust these days or have I turned into a grumpy old man.
Anyway, I have refused.

Really? I'd have been quite happy to oblige if it got them to accept a return.

Although it sounds like the IC that typically goes is cheap to replace, maybe that's just less faff. You'll find threads at ModWiggler detailing the specific ones to use.

OK. Sounds like I have turned into a grumpy old man

Its not a criticism, fwiw

Unfortunately, quite a few can't find the on button, or forget to plug it in, so, it's not a matter of trust, but, rather a matter of experience.

Ask someone working in support.

I've been asked quite a few times as well by support to provide a video, by the way. So, at the very least, it's not uncommon.

[SHall1000]

For the record, sent my faulty wasp back to Juno, who within a couple of hours of receiving it the next day, emailed that they were refunding my money for the module and the postage. So good customer service in spite of my rant about the video.

Help me choose my next addition. Should I get a Klavis Twin Waves Mk2 or an After Later Beehive (Plaits clone)?

Plaits I think is a solid choice, especially for a small system. But I also sold mine because I have a lot of stuff and found it was taking a secondary role.

I agree with this assessment, or if you like/need the sounds it makes, which can of course be manipulated in any number of ways (as can the 2600).

So….rather than looking for a new oscillator to expand my range of tones, perhaps I should look at modules to process the sound of the standard waveforms from the 2600. Is this a good approach? What else is there out there beside wavefolding? Any recommendations?

I would think an oscillator with a plethora of synthesis types probably gives you more 'potential tones' than processing the available tones of your existing oscillator(s), but the latter would obviously give you more 'range' of tones to modulate between that are in the same sort of 'continuum' as your original oscillators. ie there's the potential for sweep between your original waveforms and the processed versions, rather than a completely different sonic output.
maybe not so much a completely different additional timbre layer, though, eg a very percussive-y FM attack or obvious wavetable-y evolution, if that's how you choose to construct sounds.

alongside wavefolders, you've got their close relatives the wave multipliers, plus all the distortion flavours, including decimators, and even feedback. plus in a modular, you can of course reconsider a lot of 'post' effects as part of your core oscillator sound...
