I bought it a year ago and only played with it for a few hours. I'll have to look into the random. I only did some light editing of a few presets to see if I could get a long with it. Seemed to be a pretty intuitive interface.
This year I will be focusing on the Digitakt and Blofeld a lot. While trying to teach myself guitar and learning how to patch my euro better. Also need to fit in some light recording (gotta learn that too).
Nice! Good luck with your goals.
I've really enjoyed using the Blofeld alongside my Euro. That's probably because I built out a rack to function as a Dreamer's Drum Machine instead of a Damnable Drone Box or other philosophy. Drum machine boom clack + Blofeld digital wreckage = yes, hello.
I know I am going to end up with a Digitakt. It feels inevitable. Want to spend more time learning Sonic Potions LXR 1st, though. It is a madman's Machinedrum and contains many secrets.
I picked up a TipTop TG One recently. Still haven't hooked it up yet. Gah... more shit I gotta learn. Hopefully it and the IFM stuff will give me drums when I don't feel like Digitakt-ing.
I have a ton of samples from Samplified loaded up on my ER-301. Then I splice and dice them up as I please. I guess it'd be totally different with players like One and RadioMusic.
That ER301 and that there Bitbox look fuckin' nuts.
I'm not ready to install a computer into the modular... yet.
My thing here is that I already have a ton of drum sources because I got into Eurorack to build out a Devil's Drum Machine.
I thought the ONE could maybe provide some kind of non-drum thing but it doesn't seem particularly suited to that. The ONE seems particularly suited to "I want a realistic cymbal sound" or "this sampled kick from analog before-times helps me sit in the mix." Maybe that's why its called ONE instead of MANY.
Here it is with a short vocal sample going Ahp ahp ahp, anyway.
Yeah, Bitbox isn't really like a computer in your rack, it has a pretty focused UI and is straightforward to use. Yeah, Bitbix + FLXS is COOL. Hoping to see another update or two for FLXS soon. Iron out a few more minor bugs.
I'm currently using 2 Pico Drums loaded with my own custom sample packs, which are mostly comprised of little drum and cymbal bursts. The picos are able to take superfast trigger blasts from Kitty Eyes and Telephone Game without bricking up, so they are keepers for sure. Some modules can't handle that speed. Capturing loops of that stuff in the Scooper for the slice and dice, and it's glorious. Just got a Blackstar tube reverb pedal in as well, and the reverse reverb is definitely the special sauce on drums.
Just stumbled across this too, made my day!

If so, what sounds are you putting in there?
I recently got a TipTop ONE and haven't had much luck finding the right source material to feed it.
I've got a tyme sefari mkII, and so far I'm using it for most anything.
recording notes, slowing them down, turning them into the bass, or as a delay, or something from outside the modular from my phone, etc.
slowing something down by an extreme amount and then running it into my ultrafold is perfect noise.
sometimes i just put different drum hits from the BIA in there and go between them.
yurrrr. one of my favorite things ever was recording anything, stretching it a thousand percent on the computer, finding the accidental melodies that occur.

I can’t recommend the Morphagene enough. I feed it EVERYTHING.
Got an M32 showing up today, going in a rack w Euclidean Circles/Six Switches(here Tuesday!!!), Dfam, and Folktek stuff (Matter, Conduit, Resist, Alter 1&2). Should play nicely with the B&G and the Buchla.

Your setup is really sounding amazing. I am jealous for sure
After the Buchla tape, I kind of went eurorack insane with planning and shit. My second real attempt at eurorack was mainly building a dual m32 and a bootleg shared system with random Folktek modules. The new plan is a lot more versatile and focused i think. Less “this is cool” and more “this is what I want this to do”.
I’m lending the Easel to an ILF buddy soon, hopefully they record some cool shit with it while I figure out my fucking insane new setup and stop getting distracted by the ease and intuitiveness of the Easel. I’ll seriously sit down for two or three hours and end up just messing with one patch on the thing. It’s amazingly therapeutic but also I should probably dive deeper on stuff like Rene and Conduit.
