yur. if it's USPS and they bork a delivery, i can grab it by 4 pm. USUALLY.

but woot! they called back, the thing they were freaking out about at FedEx was that there was one price listed, but two items. because.... the power brick.... was wrapped.... separately.

the woman from FedEx was very nice, i had to explain a few times before she understood that a eurorack case was something you added parts of a whole device into, then it housed and powered them. but. should be delivered Monday.

so.

YESH.

Anyone see the 4ms Pods announcement? I am actually fairly tempted to pick up one or two. I would be down to build a small sample rack with my Nebulae and Radio Music or a utilities rack with my Samara, Links, o'Tool, and whatever other little tools that don't fit in my rack.

This would be cool to have your control/play/buttony modules separate, good stuff!

Yeah, the pods awesome for drafting single modules into semi-modular and completely non-modular desktop action. Low enough profile to sit in front of a HEK and black too, hello extra mini rows. I would love to have one or two just for little specialty module missions, and for occasionally using spare/extra modules with overflowing racks. The 42 hp pico case is probably still the best choice for concentrated miniracks though, and doesn't have that extra rim across the top. The Intellijel 4u/42hp case has also been on my mind lately, because the Rainmaker really does need its own rack...even in a 12u it's a fucking hog.

More experiments with the whole system. REALLY loving the rearranging I did with the most recent revamp.
Can't be happier with Rene v2 tbh. I only wish it somehow had more lanes of sequencing, but even then I'm finding interesting solutions/workarounds for that limitation (although 3 lanes really isn't that limiting tbh).
I find myself needing to dig more into Tempi than Rene, tbh.
I still don't really *get* Tides yet, besides that incredible chord mode, but even then I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing with it. Gotta spend more time using it as a main voice.

Ataraxic Iteritas is a 10hp over-the-top oscillator inspired by the sounds of the last millennium.

AI starts with one of three bit tables shaped via variable interpolation that is modulated and distorted by the CV-modulatable front-panel controls. Subby basses, metallic drones, unrelentingly digital timbres and more are all to be had from AI.
I am pretty into this. Only a few short demos on IG, but there was one in their story the other day that had some of the sounds I wanted to hear. One of several goals in going modular was to maintain some sort of chiptune sound, was about to give up on that idea but this might be my ticket.

You may wish to look into some Beast-Tek stuff. I rock a glitch drum and it is complete lo-fi 8-bit imaginations. http://www.beast-tek.com/irukandji-glit ... --vco.html

Sorry you're dealing with all that. That's some bullshit. At least you've got lots of support from the other forum members. I've added my two cents to the thread as well.

Can you somehow include the thread or a screenshot in the PayPal dispute? Might be some good evidence to share with them
