Sames... intrigued, though, as I'm beginning to investigate integrating the Monome stuff with some (future) banana kit...

GOOD. SHIT. SIR. Gettin' a bit of a Squarepusher vibe here...

[behndy]

..... i might have RDJ and Bjork's faces tatted on an arm.

[behndy]

Waiting for a WMD Arpitecht + Triad to arrive. Going to make arpeggios and chords until PROG MANIFESTS.

So far Arpitecht is a real joy. It spits out very many useful arpeggios at a moment's notice. Also, it functions as a quantizer in case you want to quantize your CV, something I frequently want to do. Lots of neat tricks with the step advance + rhythm functions to get super-powered fast n' slow arpeggios or melodies.

The Triad does not make any goddamn sense to me yet and, anyway, I never tune my oscillators, nor do I typically run three entire things which I'd like to sound as a chord. I mean I never do that. Hoping I'll find a way to stretch or flex it and make it a useful boi.

Ex.

annnnnnd fuck i should not have watched that vid. the Lyra 8 is neat looking, but not really my jam.

DAYUM.

The wait for Marbles has sure been a long one, I paid up on May 11 and I’m still waiting. I generally love Perfect Circuit on selection and price, but dang they are so often the slowest in the biz.

Anyone have a favorite cable hanger system? I have room for one now and would love to have something smarter than a box full of spaghetti.

Also I did the thing and ordered a Percussa SSP... I’ve been wanting a hardware synth with MPE functionality and USB host built in for a long time now. I have been using my Shuttle Control to use my Linnstrument as a controller for eurorack but it’s a LOT of patching and attenuating and duplication in my system just to run two voices. And two voices is really not enough for the Linnstrument anyways...

SSP is a fat space hog so I’ll probably list a few things soon.

I am in the same boat. Still waiting on my "June batch" preorder from Detroit Modular. I emailed them last week and they said the batch should be delivered to them this week. Crossing my fingers.

I have the Control Spaceway V1 hanger aaaand... I've never used it. Of course I only have 3 lengths of cable in my system (and 90% of those are one-footers) so the spaghetti box works for me...

LMK if you want the Spaceway... cover shipping and it's yours...

Hey fever606 do those really have the letters CTRL in the slots? I’m sorry to be that guy but that seems like an unnecessary downgrade from just straight slots! Lol!

[behndy]

real quick - before i order from them and wait 6 weeks'ish, anyone have an ER-301 they're down to sell?

[D.o.S.]

The ER-301 is a voltage-controllable canvas for digital signal processing algorithms

[behndy]

lol. why the Sad Dad face? i'm thinking about trying a different setup for live stuff, a 7u and a hardware piece or two, and the 301 would fit wayyyy better than a BitBox.

Yeah, it is kind of... silly.

The phrasing is awful


Also I feel like, looking at that thing, it's a solution in search of a problem. Using software is not a bad thing. Going entirely modular is not a bad thing. Both are way easier than trying to mash up the two, even in the constraints of a performance box.
