Edit: well, I'd also swap out Maths for another Tides and a full sized Plaits, but that's more so personal preference and Mutable fanboyism
Good thoughts with the divider that way I can divide the main clock out from the marbles without shifting the rhythms. :snax:
I've currently got Div and Marbles in my rack. You can get some really interesting results by also using Marbles to CV the div/multiplication time

Also, on the topic of me being a Mutable fanboy, I was wondering what was happening with Clouds 2 and went digging on their forums. Really excited because Olivier is referring to the changes as similar to the changes that were made with Braids/Plaits (and that was an excellent update!). But, not as excited that there's no real release plan for it since Olivier isn't really working on it at the moment and there's some conjecture that the reverb won't be included in the next version

Sprott was one of my favourite IFM modules! It was nuts. I also really liked Dunst and Swoop. I still want to build an all IFM rack at some point.

Moffenzeef Dialup incoming, along with some extra bus cables and more legposts for some more external experiments. Pico Voice soon too, to complete a row I'm putting together now, so if anyone wants to sell a Pico Voice hit me up.

I ordered 2 new Tides and a RCD breakout whilst there’s some Halloween sales going. Im expecting the two Tides to replace my PEG and my Just Friends. Im wondering if anyone who owns a Tides 2 and is familiar with the PEG can tell me if you can use a gate instead of a trigger here to create a cycling lfo like you can on the PEG using the cycle input. Quoting from the Tides manual:
Tides Manual wrote:It is also possible to patch both the CLOCK (3) and TRIG (2) inputs. In this case, Tides needs to receive a trigger on the trigger input to generate an envelope, but adjusts the envelope duration so that it matches the external clock rate.
I've been searchin' for the dolphins in the sea.

I had actually been thinking about that again recently. Sometimes the ER-101 is just too much and something simpler like the octone would be appealing, but I've also had my eye on the Arpitect for the same reason.

Arpitecht is so good. It pukes rhythmically and musically interesting melodies instantly.
