hey, wanted to ask for some advice regarding some changes in my current 7u 104hp rig.
i've been slowly building this setup with a flexible 'serge' mindset, adding some other tools that i thought i needed for particular purposes like the morphagene. the morphagene's purpose was to have a sampler where i could load some digital synthesis (nupg mainly) audios and be able to integrate them into the modular workflow/process them, but i find myself not using it usually. so i thought about getting rid of it and changing some other stuff as well, taking into consideration the new r*s modules.
at one point i wanted to change one of my joranalogue generate 3's for a r*s NTO, but i really like the switches on them which i can't really get in the NTO. also, its less hp which allows me for adding some other stuff in a limited-space such as this (i want to keep it 7u/104hp for travelling - it's already too big sometimes even)
instead of then changing one of the g3 for an nto, i thought about the new gts and gto, seeing as they have a much higher freq range so they can be used in audio rate flexibly as well as the usual functionalities. i already have a maths and a sports modulator, and they basically were covering for the dusg + ssg thing, but i'm somewhat excited by some of the added features on the new gts+gto so might just change them for those. i would though miss the sine out from the nto, but i thought that i can approximate a sine from a triangle wave (g3, gto) + integrators (if im not mistaken)
this is currently my setup:
and i'm thinking of going this way:
other thing that i thought about changing is the triple sloth, seeing as i can just get some 1U sloths if i want to (+ some other nlc 1u's).
i added, to my own surprise even, an intellijel planar 2 because it seems quite flexible for some of the things i need: some mixing/panning/function generators + gesture control when i need it. i already have the pivot 2 which serves some routing functions, so maybe its too much to have both of these in a small system, but maybe not.
i added the a-171-2 so i can have some dedicated slew processing + stuff if i also decide to be using the gts for audio rate stuff etc.
i guess my questions and doubts about this are: am i missing something obvious in the serge toolkit? do i have too much/too little of something?
and also, one of the questions which is very present lately for me is if maybe its not worth it to go so much into serge territory in euro, and instead just sell everything and go into 4u. of course money is always an issue but i've realized that considering the amount of things you get in a 4u serge panel for the price it's not that much more expensive sometimes. of course this would mean no "hybrid", but honestly at this point i don't see anything not serge-like that i'm interested (besides the planar 2 which is still debatable)
forgot to say, what i look for is mostly ''''experimental''''/ feedback, nonlinear behaviors, complex organizations etc.
thanks!
