Is there any reason you have all the modules from the same brands next to each other? The bottom row on the rack. Seems kind of weird, but I don't know anything about modular. Wouldn't it make more sense to keep modules you like pairing closer together rather than sorting them by manufacturer?
Yeah, this was by design. Each row is in its own case too, this way I can just grab a couple rows and be good to go. This is for reasons, but also to make it easier to learn. From a certain point of view I look at it as I've got three unique main "systems" that are simpatico. That bottom right IFM row is an instrument on its own. The R*S Serge row to its left is an instrument on its own, same with the Mannequins row. Then I have a drums row, and a CV row, controller row, mixers row etc. So, if I'm in a IFM kinda mood I can just grab that row and be good to go. This has been really nice as a way for me to learn the modules on their own and also how they interact with their individual designers vision. Real fun starts when instead of using IFM as a "voice" I use it as a modulation source for the Serge row, or the Serge modules modulating the IFM, or IFM on Mannequins and etc. IFM and Mannequins are both heavily influenced by the whole west coast Serge philosophy, but have their own very unique things going on too. I'm sure I'll get to rearranging things the more I learn and start developing a more focused workflow etc. but this way has let me dive into several different setups and approaches at once without being too terribly overwhelmed
Great idea, that makes senseDisarm D'arcy wrote:That's how I'd set up a rack as well. Stuff that will be used the most center. And different textures on the outer edge in a circle.
