Eurorack madness: tips on this design?

Sat Jun 4 13:57:57 CEST 2022

I’ve heard all about your rig over the years.  I was resisting eurorack for years but .. Behringer just made it so easy.

Once I get this rack functional for the purposes .. I won’t go further than the 6U I have for now. I also have two Neutrons, and the ASM1 modules, to integrate. 

Pretty fun music times, if I’m being honest with myself.  I’ve been to some Craaaazy sessions lately, whoa. The whole lockdown thing seems to have lit peoples engines… my eurorack is destined for those parties., has to be transportable (I got the bag too), and so on..

>> Excellent feedback, thanks guys.
