Hi

> Hello, I have a Dark Energy and I would like to create a minicase with some modules to add effects to my ossillator. It is very difficoult to choose witch one to use. I think the noise module (A118) can be a good effect but then I don't know what to add to let it work properly. I saw in this group there are a lot of expert. I ask suggestions. Thank you
You have three types of potential modules
1.) Additional Audio sources.
2.) Additional modulation sources.
3.) Audioeffects which can be used after the DE.


#1 is simple: either a VCO, Noise, or an A-188-1 VC-Delay for 
karplus-strong-stuff. The noise is to my opinion not a module which 
would enhance the DE very much - with the exception if you are going to 
make non tonal percussion sounds.

#2 If you are doing sequence based music: get an A-142-2 (hopefully soon 
available).
If you are more experimental: theremin controller, joystick controller.

#3 Either one from the "distortion/waveshaper"-family A-116, A-136, 
A-137-1. The A137 is for sure the most powerful, but eats up more rackspace.
Or a audioeffect, either the A-187-1 or a A188-1. The advantange of the 
A188-1 is: you can use it either as effect for flanging, chorus  or 
short delays or as karplus strong oscillator.
The A-187-1 can make the small DE much bigger (soundwise). If you have 
an analogue sequencer, then the A-187-1 will be gorgious.
