HC-TT is heaps of fun... even more so when used with effects. I've been using it in combination with W/ to build broken beats and other sonic beds. I've only had about 10 minutes with it and the PT Delay, but I can already tell that I've made some Good Life Choices... :lol:

HC-TT II looks mad... I've had this one for a couple of years, though, and not sure I need any of the new features. We'll see, though... I could be... CONVINCED.

but i do NOT get tape stuff.

Landscapes makes beauuuuuuuuuutifulllllllllll loots though. congrats! BUGGY TIMES.
I do not get the whole retro-tape-culture thing (even though the HC-TT is a product of that) but that's beside the point... when I can get a box of tapes from Goodwill for $1, I've got HEAPS of content to mangle.

Not to mention recording droning chords to a cassette and then being able to play them back with MAXIMUM WARBLE. Also, beats (see above).

This is what ultimately led me to the Monome Grid/White Whale (now Ansible) combo... a very playable sequencer that I can have fun with and not have to fight to make work. No knobs though...

Actually quite content on sound sources right now, I think one Mangrove will do it for me lol.
Hope you got some good audio of your set!

Monome so sexy. still have Arc/Ansible desireeeees.

yesss pics gurrrrL. show them sexy GUTS.

i use the headphone outs in to a Tascam DR-05 to tap a recording from the mixer i take, have to go do some blood tests (routine shizz) and breakfast with the grrL, then checking to see if the audio is decent and Soundclouding. did a vidja too, but i want to get a copy of the house video to cut back and forth from.

theu have two people running big visual projections and it is BALLER.

Designed for using with 2 Monome modules (i have 2 Ansibles, WhiteWhale and Earthsea) although it will work with other Euro Sequencers. the audio send/return was a space filler because the ground was ugly if jammed in elsewhere, I can use the send/return to run to a pedal or send to a Sewastopol and process with Euro modules.

The Protocol Droid is a Euro module, 30 hp wide. Will have as small a case as possible but will start out with 104hp and have things like logic, VCAs, CV processors (because I also have a Format Jumbler so I can take Bi-polar signals and make them Uni-polar so they work with the Buchla). Ultimately, I want this to be a streamlined as possible for adding Euro sequencing to the Buchla - not an easy task...
