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
Interesting stuff in their demos. Probably not what I am looking for right now. Just sold off a Drumfuck that did some great chiptune sounds because I didn't want to devote the space for supplementing/controlling drums in the case right now. Decided to keep my Drumbrute around instead.

Public Service Announcement : if anyone here is interested in a Basimilus Iteritas Alter for $320 including worldwide shipping and some random Japanese snacks, please send me a message.

I still want a Three Sisters and I need 10HP and about that amount of money to make it magically appear in my system ;).
I guess I'm slowly turning into a Monome/Mannequins person (Teletype is really, really good and Just Friends is even more enjoyable than I thought)...

Forgot if I commented one this on fb already or not but GAT DAMN. :animal: Dark top, light bottom looking so good. Although I'd feel pressured to maintain that aesthetic if I were to make a trade or swap out modules lol.

Just swapped out the giant Qu-Bit Rhythm for a Pam's NEW Workout and my god what a lovely switch. Also reacquired a Mutable Clouds and I made frozen glacial modulating walls of sound all weekend.

I love how Behndy has a pack of defenders. :)

Here’s a little clip of my first real patch with the SSP after spending a few days trying to learn my way around it. The wavetable bass and sampled percussion are all from the SSP in this patch. Have PNW and FLXS1 and Plog all doing a lot of modulating, and a little echo from Magneto.

.........I already traded mine :duck:

I honestly didn't even mess with it that much. I put in maybe like 10-20 minutes into each of the different voices/modes; probably spent a bit more time with the organ, drone, strings, and chiptune modes. Messed a bit with the sequencer, but really liked the poly mode the most. The dual filters are amazing, but their pots/knobs felt so incredibly fragile. It just really didn't inspire me enough and I wasn't looking forward to having to tune up 8 specific notes every time I wanted to use it

But, I was offered a Roland Boutique SE-02 with the keyboard and custom wood side panels and upgraded knobs. So that's on the way!

I only tried the Swarm last year at Tokyo Festival of Modular and quite liked it, interested about how it sounds now...

If I wanted a small chords/drone thing I'd definitely be interested in this one.

Right there with you... How have you been using Teletype? I always thought "I never wanna learn all this code and type into my synth!" But then I started reading the TT studies and learned about the Euclidean operator and learned more about all the ways it interconnects to JF / Ansible... Doomed :lol: at least it's killing my gas for other stuff...

Also I took a bunch of modules out of my case and have been rocking a 4u set up with 2 Just Friends, 2 Three Sisters, DLD, Ansible and some utilities... Loving the limitations, keeps me focused on learning Ansible / experimentation.
