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, mine don't ping very long at all. I should probably order a bunch of vactrols and try swapping them. Meep.
Mine doesn't ping that long either. Let me know if you try swapping the vactrols.

more i watch this, more i want to grab one and try it. i LOVE the RML, but man. it's twenty eight freaking hp. and this has 3 inputs. that.... intrigues me.

gotta move some stuff first though.

anyone want to buy a Sapel or Even VCO? probabbbbbly going to sell the Voltage Blocks and some point too.

I want Marbles! But I’m going the delayed gratification route while I move for the second time in 3 weeks. Someday though!
I've been searchin' for the dolphins in the sea.

Built a standalone skiff to focus on learning and appreciating Rainmaker. I'm only 2-3 days in but I dunno. I'm not sure I'm sold on it being worth the hp. It is quite good, and very fun, but I'm not sure about hanging on to it.

Did a few exercises with it to see what I could come up with, first two patches are variations on each other, the third is separate:

Rene is pretty great, I've been having way more fun with TSNM recently though. Sequencer mode, Arp mode. The TSNM is like the middleground between Pressure Points/Brains and Rene.

Now I just gotta figure out other ways to use Rene before I go all Mutable crazy... again.

WHERE TF IS STAGES?!?!?!

Also I couldn't give less of a shit about what's popular, especially in the world of modular synths. The world of modular is already small as hell, no need to limit your options. Just do what makes you happy. If anything, a a popular module lets me know that it's probably worth the investment.
