Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Regarding W/ (I haven't got one but I've read most things about it on Lines) :
There's a new firmware version almost ready that fixes a number of issues but not all, and Mr Mannequins is working hard on the rest of the bugs.
Beyond that, it has a specific interface that does not necessarily click with everybody. I still want to get one at some point, by the time gear funds allow it mist issues should hopefully be fixed.. (should be fun with Teletype too)

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Thanks for the reply. Cool, I was also hoping to get one with the fixes implemented but I saw the one for sale here and it got me thinking about buying one anyway. I see it’s gone now so I’ll wait as planned. I see a lot of ppl that have one have two. That’s thought provoking. Did Mr Mannequins give an approx release date? Their Instagram told me 2 weeks a month and a half ago and I’m anxiousoscillateur wrote:Regarding W/ (I haven't got one but I've read most things about it on Lines) :

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
yah. it was just too much memorization of button combos and the way it's laid out i get.... but it seems suuuuuper hard to be precise. awesome amount of features in no space at all though.
it makes me want a way to click straight to half or double speed on Nebs 2. going to ask about that.
also, fuck YES. Sunbeamer on IG (you on here? I SUCK AT KEEPING NAMES STRAIGHT ACROSS PLATFORMS.) let me know CtrlMod is doing preorders on Just Friends. said they told him should ship mid-July. WOOT.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Used the 856 with the euro last night (via Sewastopol). This thing really needs to be a module. It would be too good. Take the output and mangle it even more with Morphagene or something? Yes yes.

Did the 856 get redesigned? I had one from the first batch (which arrived broken, another story) and found it inscrutable.worra wrote:Used the 856 with the euro last night (via Sewastopol).

Sewastopol is one of the greatest modules atmo. I've mainly been using mine to re-amp other modules (Beast-Tek Glitch Drum esp.). The pre-amp on that fucker is nasty & awesome.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Yeah Scott re-laid out the controls, added an exp/start-stop switch jack, and a midi jack to route midi thru. Also lower power draw requirements. I had the first one as well and this one (while maybe less aesthetically pleasing) is a bit easier to grokmr. sound boy king wrote:Did the 856 get redesigned?

I need to start using my sewastopol to re-amp the SMR, this is a great idea.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Been flipping a lot of gear to get some euro funds.
Might snag a Metropolis soon as I really need a sequencer with some fun cv control. Any other sequencers I should look into for fast, fun, live sequencing? René isn't calling to me yet (maybe as a second sequencer later on). Varigate/Voltage Block also look cool but I don't see much cv in to play with it.

I love the FLXS1 greyscales, might be worth having a look. Lots of CV in and out.
