Need help on first rack
Hello everyone! Been playing around in VCV Rack for a while, and want to begin moving towards a physical setup with real knobs that I can turn and perform with. Most notably, I use modular stuff for textures and ambience in indie folk, experimental folk, and death metal. The main way I play with VCV is by feeding signal from a guitar or banjo or something into it, and then using it sort of like an FX processor. However, I also will create a generative patch when the occasion calls for it. In VCV I have as many modules as I want, and I never have to think about rack space or multi function units. For a real unit, I’d like to be able to play it via an instrument or MIDI keyboard, and have it integrate with my existing guitar pedalboard. The Starlab is the module I’m most excited about, as I got into modular via Andrew Sarlo and his production work with guitar driven eurorack setups.
This is a first pass at what I think I should be building towards, starting out with just the case, input, output, and Starlab and building from there as I can afford.
From a more experienced perspective, does This setup have any glaring flaws or gaps? It’s more of a texture and ambience generator than anything else, but I don’t know if I’m over or underestimating my need for utility modules to drive the core sounds. I have some open space left to fill, which I was considering filling with another oscillator.
