Doepfer

The original firmware did not load PD files but the last update does, They used to have a PD template on their Github site (https://github.com/qubitelectronix <https://github.com/qubitelectronix>) that enabled connections to the front panel controls. Basically the Nebulae is a Raspberry Pi with some added bits. All you have to do is put the PD file in the root of the SDcard and it is seen at boot up  and is run. They also have a few “alternate instruments” on their Github site that are PD instruments to download. The Nebulae is no longer in production so you will have to get a used one. The version of the Raspberry Pi they used was updated to a new version and they were going to update the module but I guess they changed their minds. I also runs CSound files and I think MAX ones too but I don’t know how complicated they can get. The onboard memory can only hold 9 mins of sound and the programs share the same memory. I have no experience at loading PD files, I have just tried out the example files they had posted.

Though I can't see to what extent it loads PD files… I did believe that it loads audio WAV files… sincerely I don't know Nebulae at all, I purchased MN Phonogene, tried it for few weeks and gave it away since it seemed just crap to me, compared to granular synthesis software which do the job more efficiently for sure. Of course I am not a pure fanatic of modular synthesis, since I can use pc without shame.

Then pre patched modules need less room in the racks and, as everyone experienced, they get filled very fast!

>> When I say “whacky modules” I guess I mean more exotic modules. You can replicate modules like MakeNoise Maths with a bunch of Doepfer modules, as you can with many “east coast” multi-modules, but I have a granular/wave player (the qu-bit Nebulae) that would be not replicated with Doepfer modules as fart as I know (You can load your own Pure Data files in it for instance). I also have a ADDAC101 Wave player that can’t be match by the Doepfer Sample player module plus other Doepfer modules. My company (Synthwerks) makes a few modules that there are no Doepfer equivalents or can be made by combining modules (that is why we make them). This is NOT a diss or slight to Doepfer in ANY way. Just a different philosophy by makers. Doepfer will probably never make an Orthogonal Devices ER-301 Sound Computer or DSP effects units either. That is what is great about the Eurorack marketplace, there are people making ALL kinds of stuff out there (some whose purpose and uses baffle me). Companies like Doepfer and Analogue Systems, that have a wide catalog, will always find a way into people’s rigs.

I built myself a few of the EuroSerge modules from Random Source and Elby because I have a thing for the crazy functionality Serge has but don't get me wrong Doepfer stuff is still the core of my system. And will always be I think :D
