Can we talk about modular synths?

[behndy]

i kinda want an LXD (LdX?), actually more than kinda, i REALLY want one.

but..... i'm also really.... happy? that i don't have any MN in my setup.

like. MN is AWESOME. i just. i dunno. proud? seems hard to do? not have a single MN module?

yessss. SEXY TIMES.

do you run one patch that has multiple parts or repatch live?

playing out with modulars still BOGGLES ME.

Thank you for listening!

I started with a simple patch and just went from there adding and subtracting cables, turning knobs, whatever.

The limitation of "no re-dos" gives me the inspirations.

That looks heavy...

[behndy]

lol. i dunno? it's lighter than the PitsMod 6u one i have?

annnnnnd fuck ME. the screws i have work with the washers that came with the case, of which there are TWO. but the washers i have make are twice as thick, make the screws i have not catch.

i'm using M3 MM6 screws, is there a size a TINY bit longer? and. i mean. preferably hex?

I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DROP ON KNURLIES RIGHT NOW.

[behndy]

just ordered an assload of 8mm 3m screws from Control Mod. if they can get them out tomorrow, shoulllld be here by Friday.

SIGH.

lol. and forgot i had some paypal monies stashed. so.... ordered some Knurlies instead. if they're as nifty as people say, i'm going to replace the sliding nuts on the PitsMod case i plan to keep with 3m slidey nurts.

[oscillateur]

Lighter than the 6U Pittsburgh ? That's nice...
It looks like wood though, right ?

I much prefer proper rails to sliding nuts now. My Cell 90 has hex sliding nuts, which are just an invention from hell. If they're square ones you still have to plan the spread properly but at least they won't get stuck. Urgh, that was a major pain in the ass. My 7U Intellijel is mo much nicer in that regard...

Are you still keeping another case in addition to that one ?

[behndy]

jia. it's wood sides, metal frame. just hefted each at the same time, feels like this is lighter than the all wood PitsMod?

yurp. was going to keep the 6u, list the 270 Structure. want to put the Swarm and some other loots in the smaller case?

murrrrrr. i've never owned anything but slidies, loooove them. i'm super skeered of having a regular rail and ending up with space between modules.

[mr. sound boy king]

KNURLIES FOR LIFE.

[behndy]

lol. we'll seeeeee. i'm just excited about having the right SIZE SCREW.

...... Knurkles are fine with small modules like 2hps no?

[mr. sound boy king]

lol. we'll seeeeee. i'm just excited about having the right SIZE SCREW.

...... Knurkles are fine with small modules like 2hps no?

Yes. Knurlys fit 2hp modys.

[Ruiner]

Knurlies are gnarly and if you don't agree you can just go weez the juice.


(and to clarify, i don't go by the webster dictionary meaning for gnarly which is "difficult"... i go by the only true dictionary, urban dictionary, which the definition is: Gnarly is when you've gone beyond radical, beyond extreme, it's balls out danger, & or perfection, & or skill or all of that combined.)

[baremountain]

hot BALLS behndy, that case is gorgeous!!! I like the blue a lot.

[Ruiner]

yeah man, that teal color is great.... you went and got the same case as me and then had it painted the same color as my desk and walls My favorite part about this case is still the built in light on top with dimmer switch.

[Ruiner]

Well it cost me a small fortune to order this direct since nobody in the states have it currently between shipping cost, fees, us to eur conversion..... but that's ok.... i'm so stoked about this. Modular symphony here i come!
