I have behndy's 270 now and I haven't had any real issues with it. I don't really like the glitchy start-up or shutdown though. Forces my Batumi into zoom mode every time

I have had two EP-96s and never had an issue with either one. Are you using the power brick that came with the case from PGH?

yeah, using the same one for over a year, never had problems before. I use it mostly for drones with the band, so I swapped in a rucci minimal drone but that thing didn't cut for shit through the mix -____-
i'm glad i can call you a friend. even if i'll never see you again

Three Sisters has been such a fulfilling module to get to know and explore. The past few days I've been trying out the two operator fm patch from the manual and finding some great sounds. This was the high and low outputs through their own separate channels of the optomix and dld. Sequenced by tempi/rene/maths/just friends. I was messing with the input to the quantizer, amount of noise to the quality input, and toggling hold/reverse on the dld channels on the fly.

Out of all my modules three sisters has to be the most fun. That track is so so good. I need to spend some time with it as an oscillator. I have been having so much fun using it as a filter/mixer.

Need Superbooth to get here ASAP so that I can figure out what I can get rid of and what I need to save up for. I'm watering at the mouth for all this new stuff on the horizon.

The ALM stuff looks great. The new Dreadbox/Polyend thing looks interesting. The new Dave Smith Sequential shit looks incredible - although luckily I have absolutely NO ROOM for more big synths. That monome thing is gonna be nigh impossible to get if I don't hop on it early.

I've also come to the realization that I think I'm done trying to emulate strings in my rack. I really like Plonk and Rings and I even setup a cool string accompaniment patch yesterday which sounded radical but I just... Idk I feel like I can do more with good ol' fashioned oscillators. BIA and Mangrove gel *really* nicely with Marbles...

Right, onto business. I'm getting rid of some sheeeit. First dibs with ILF peeps:
NSFW: show
Malekko Varigate 4 - $140
4ms Tapographic Delay - $310
Rossum Electronics Morpheus - $400
XAOC Kamieniec - $215
XAOC Batumi+Poti expander - $270
XAOC Drezno+Lipsk - $300
XAOC Praga - $400
PM if interested in anything. Will throw in free succ.

Random tangent oh fuck Thermae is up for preorder. I've been running some modules through my CBA shit and it's ridiculous how consistently good they sound. Hmmm....

Also did anyone preorder Mimetic Digitalis (Noise Engineering)? Preorders were supposed to ship today. It's still up for preorder so I'm guessing they still have some in stock.

got a chance to run things into the Touellskouarn today. does sound GOOD. been using a simple line from FLXS into Shifty then mixing 3 oscs into Sonveskañ with different CV'd feedback. digggggginnnnng it.

i like Integra Solum a lot too. very intuitive and fun clock divider. awesome that it has two sides.
