I’m loving the Allen Synthesis Europi, something I haven’t encountered in my reading here. Anyone using it? It’s got so much to explore (quantizer, Mutable Instruments Branches and Grids, etc.)

The only in-rack drums I have are a couple of modes on Braids.

This is a Europi program called ‘Coin Toss’ using probability to generate triggers for a kick drum and different bass tones from a subharmonic generator, with envelopes from Zadar.

So I’ve got 22 hp left (4 in one case; 18 in the other) and would appreciate some advice.

The bottom row pictured is a separate Rackbrute I’ve been adding to to do everything I’ve been missing from my original plan. It started with a Turing Machine and expanders for generative sequences and triggers, and now I’m looking to make any kind of sequence come alive. (Unless it’s reallly slow and YouTube ambient, my Turing sequences can sound very boring,)

Euclidean from Pam’s seems OK, but more world-music-y than 80s movie soundtrack. Pam’s random skip isn’t giving me a musical feel (which could be user error). A Europi is there to cover every kind of logic (which I haven’t had time to explore). An unpowered sequential switch to kind of change between two sources of whatever…

I really want to try ratcheting, but again, lack experience. My current plan is to wait for a Patching Panda Particles, which seems to add zany ratcheting and other flavor to sequences, but I’m not sure how great that would actually be for my setup (or if that’s mostly effective for drums, being triggers and not gates, as I understand it…)

TL;DR 22 hp left. A need to make sequences come alive and address any apparent gaps in my rack. No room for error!

Thanks…
