| First thing is to make sure that you get a suitable power supply for the number of modules that you have or are likely to get. There is info on the website to add this up, and remember that a lot of modules don't use any power at all. Best to get a larger supply for future expansion. Installation is straight forward, everything is on plugs.
I bought small nylon washers to put under the screws that hold the modules in, it protects the modules from damage which I guess only really matters if you decide to sell or trade them to finnicky buyers.
.Com has module mapping software on their site so that you can plan a layout, and probably the other main questions will be:
Do you need a MIDI module, ie: is your controller keyboard MIDI or a 1V/octave analog synth? If it is a Korg or Yamaha analog the you will need a 3rd party CV converter.
Do you need an external signal processor module, (a Q118 Instrument interface)? Do you want to control the synth with guitar or bass, or do you mostly use keyboards?
Which filter to start with? Moog style or State Variable (which is far more flexible)?
How much room for expansion do you think you will need? |
