84 Minimum Viable Modcan

A guy suggested one could have quite fun with just three modules of Modcan, the 3VCO, the Dual Multimode Filter and the Quad Envelope. This thanks to the amplitude input on the 3VCO which in fact works like a VCA for that module. Works like a charm and packs quite some punch into very little panel space! In fact, if you go for a rack space system, you can fit two more modules into one row. This will definitely get you started though!

Sneaking in a bit of old Kraftwerk, huh? Thought we wouldn't notice. ];P **thumbs up on that!** Cool video. Gotta love the functional density of Modcan modules. I'm working on a couple DIY panes that do the same thing: Ian Fritz TZFM-VCO with an Oakley Looping ADSR/VCA, and an Oakley Croglin LPF with the same Looping ADSR/VCA. Both are on 2U MOTM panels, but obviously not following the MOTM grid. I figure those two modules together are pretty much a full synth ;)

@emdotambient I have the deepest respect for DIYers! Just look at that cab I got there, and all I did was assemble it, my dad made all the parts for me. So I'm not one to say the least :) Thanks for liking the video, it was a very interesting experiment for sure. I've come to appreciate the functional density a lot too, especially after getting into Buchla even though that's another type of density.

Thanks for another exellent demo! :-)
