Does anyone here have both Mikrophonie and Ears ?

If so, do you know if there is a difference in sound between them when using the module as an overdrive/distortion ? I know both circuits are open hardware but I can only read code, not circuits ;).

I'm, considering an upgrade to an Ears at some point because the envelope follower/gate extraction is useful but I really like how Mikrophonie distorts :)>

No Plaits til May for me :( But muh Plaits comes 20% off, which is nice. To be honest I'd rather have the module than cash back, but it seems scarcity has made my decision for me. Good thing I didn't sell my Plonk/Rings yet

solo tunes:
completed works || loosey goosey releases
associated acts:
Raab Zamboni (fake jazz/real noise//sax, modular synth, editing, misc) || Field Guide (my best friends//sax on 2 tracks)

I make t-shirts, patches, koozies, buttons, CDs, sometimes tapes, and eventually i'll start working on pedals again. DM me for pricing!

FWIW Plaits plus Rings is pretty dang fun.

So...Behringer Neutron?

It's actually a pretty cool synth, for what will be mainstream affordable modular. I think at $299 it could join the likes of microkorg, minibrute etc as a renowned starter synth. I do like it better than the M32 at least.

The knobs and buttons make it look similar to the Roland FX modules. Made for mix & match with them and mother 32 most likely...or they're cooking up something similar...

interested in this too
Ears distorts almost everything I put into it. I've actually been thinking of replacing it with a Sewastapol II for that reason. BUT I can see why that'd be desirable.


uBurst is in and now my case is almost filled.. https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/343551
:evil: next on the list are VCAs and Attenuverters (they gotta be black tho). then I will probably build a case for my SV-1 and fill the top row with some crazier shit :lol: :lol: I want a 4ms SMR, Mangrove and Three Sisters soooo baaad but that's probably another income tax season away he he :cry:
i'm glad i can call you a friend. even if i'll never see you again

I only had a little while to play with Plaits so far, and I haven't even gotten into the manual yet, but damn does it sound good. So versatile too.

Idk what sequencer to pair it with. I got over using my Metropolis for everything but I'm missing that immediacy and ease of workflow.

What are y'all sequencing it with?

I'm going to sell my Pretty Years #1 for an intelijel case + other stuff. :zen:


...I just haven't gotten around to it because my guitar lawnmower noises would suffer as a result. :facepalm: But it's going to happen because I really only use the PY as a clean preamp, and so I will replace it with a Keeley Tonestation. Which sounds like sacrilege now that I've typed it out. :lol:

EDIT: This is where I am thinking of going as of now. There's also going to be a Beatstep Pro up in there. Or I will get something to interface my Ipad to the modular. :snax:
