The ALM System Coupe is the first modular system from ALM Busy Circuits, containing everything you need to get started in modular and easily integrate it with a DAW. Conversely, use the System Coupe as a way to add 3U of incredibly powerful modules to your existing Eurorack system. It includes special editions of mmmidi, MIDI to CV converter and the expander, mmT; Pamela's New Workout, trigger and clock-synced modulation source; Quaid Megaslope, complex function generator; Squid Salmple, eight-channel sampler; MCO, digital oscillator; Tangle Quartet, VCA and mixer; and HPO headphone output. In addition to these modules, a few new modules are included in the system: Mult, an unbuffered multiple; MCF, multi-mode filter; Milton, mixer, attenuator, and general utility module. Done just for this system, all modules come in matte grey panels with white screens, special magenta and blue knobs, and comes in a custom-made 84hp case with an internal power supply.

In this video we used the System Coupe in a hybrid setup with Ableton Live, some of the sounds like the kick drum come from a VST running in Ableton, the Coupe is used to add percussion and vocal samples as well as a synth line. The Milton module also made it possible to easily use an effects pedal with the system. It is also possible to use the System Coupe without an external midi sequencer as you can trigger your drums with the Pam’s New Workout and use the Quaid Megaslope as a pitch sequencer.
Use the Coupe as a creative tool to create new original musical ideas and phrases, an enjoyable pursuit to take on travels, a flexible instrument for live sets or imaginative first, or ongoing, steps into modern modular synthesis. The System Coupe works great on its own or in partnership with your existing set up.
The Coupe consists of a powered case populated with a curated set of ALM modules - some new, some proven classics. All the modules are special editions, with grey panels, white screens, magenta and blue knobs and a custom compact 84hp case.
Unique new modules include a basic Mult, ‘Milton’ - a line level input, a buffered mult, a mixer and attenuator, and the ‘MCF’ a multimode analog filter.
