It's an Organelle for people who live a minimalist lifestyle.

lol. i thought the Organelle was crazy minimalist?

annnnnnd does one program it from the tiny screen? or hooked to a pc? is it a tiny little audio focused pc?

I HAVE CONFUSIONS.

AND ZERO NEED FOR ONE.

THEY'RE JUST SO. DAMN. PRETTY.

Nice, nabbed one. Easy choice for those of us already using Rene.

So, does Rene 2 in any way support a song type mode hands free? Can you CV the ‘64 save states?’

I THINK so? Tony R is giving a talk that will be livestreamed in 5 minutes so hopefully some more answers will come from that.

jia. been looking up Norms. awesome, but doesn't seem my jam. still want an Arc.

also. this is kinda a stupid question, but with capacitive touch controllers like Pressure Points, TSNM, Tetra et all, is it pressure sensitive or how much of the contact pad you cover with your finger?

durping right now

It's how much contact pad you cover with your finger, which roughly correlates to how hard you press as your finger is a little smooshy and spreads out further under pressure.

EDIT: Not sure if that's how Tetra works. That's how anything with copper traces on the front panel like Rene, Pressure Points, TSNM

Ordered a 2hp Div tonight, which means I am (temporarily? :facepalm: ) done with acquiring modules:

As I mentioned earlier, I'm thinking of trading the DFAM for a second Mother 32 (I just get so much more out of the Mother 32; hit me up if you're interested), but other than that, I think I might actually be done. I really need to focus on other parts of my "studio", like upgrading to proper speakers and a upgrading to a good mixer and mics. Also, I really want a nice polysynth; my DX7 is cool, but it's just so ridiculously 80s.

I'm currently working through Nathan Moody's Sigil sample pack; I'm separating all the files into individual sounds to use with the Nebulae (it's going to take awhile, there's a lot to go through). Also, I realised that I can load the samples into the Digitakt, too. I wasn't considering that as an option at all, but now I'm incredibly excited for both options! Seriously, these samples all sound amazing and I can't wait to start mangling them!

thaaaaaaaaat makes sense.

i do think the Tetra uses pressure, but with traces, amount of contact is more logical.

thanks mennnnnng.

Really trying to decide if I want Ruiner's Tetrapad. I could really use the tactile stuff for controlling the Er-102, but in just not that excited about getting a tetrapad or a pressure points or whatever.

i liked mines, but wasn't really in a place to be super into tactile interfaces. but the Lightstrips i have in my system have me SO geeked for the TSNM that hits today.

now that there's a combo mode, i'm pretttttry interested in grabbing one again eventually.
