I bought one of those but the things are much too close together to be useful. I guess I was hoping to discover some thing or trick that would allow me to avoid putting a whole long cable with many connectors in there cuz I only need one extra.

I believe you should be able to unclip the grey connectors and move them.

You need to set up some semi-generative patches or something like that. :idk:

I've only had a quick jam with Marbles so far. It's awesome fun, though. Super easy to build a little generative patch. I was really enjoying self patching it. I hope to get some time to dive a little deeper tomorrow

If one of you people'll loan me $1,800, I'll be able to buy my first module:

So I was really hoping to pick up a Natural Gate, but the hype has proven to make obtaining one pretty unlikely. One of the things that really had me excited about it was the ability to CV the decay time of the LPG strike. Does anyone know of a similar LPG-esque module that has CV over the module's decay time?

Well, Optomix...

Edit : to be clearer : using the Damp control and the strike input. You're limited by how much each channel pings when at full damp, though.

Yeah any flying bus cable should be fine. Just keep an eye on how much power you're trying to draw.

Yeah, mine don't ping very long at all. I should probably order a bunch of vactrols and try swapping them. Meep.
