yah. i feel you. althoughhhhhh.... lol. with my lurv for u/Micro versions of things and 2hp modules, pretttttty used to the Tiny Knobs.

we'll see!

neat thing too is having two linked doubles the save spots, but also turns it into a duophonic sequencer. you can set the second one's pitch out to an interval from the first.

It's technically a rumor but basically confirmed that there's an all black version of the Shuttle System coming out soon.

I am REALLY intrigued by it, although Imma need some DEEP Black Friday sales to get my mitts on any new Eurorack before the end of the year.

Side note: that new XAOC envelope generator looks way more powerful/useful than I imagined. God damn you XAOC and your great designs. If only Belgrad was a little thinner, I could fit it in my case.

I want a full Xaoc system. Everything about their design really resonates with me. I would be so down if they came out with their own "Shared System"

Out of curiosity/boredom, I made one for them in Modulargrid:

I also made one for Mutable:

I would 100% rock either of these systems if I had the money

Know who talks a lot about modular synths? Duncan Trussell of Duncan Trussell Family Hour ... he makes jingles for his show’s intro ..

Well, my Eurorack sell off is going a little slower than I hoped. I am thinking I will keep 3U to shove between my Knas Ekdahl Polygamist and TTSH to provide a little extra modulation, sequencing and whatever else I end up keeping. I was bummed initially but now I am all good with it.

I got my new Buchla case and sequencer so I have 17 of the 18 spaces filled in that case. The module I am getting for that space is called a Quad Transevent Generator, basically Quad CV designer where you can loop segments and sequence through the segments.

I also have a Deckard’s Dream on the way.

Really curious to hear your thoughts on the Deckards Dream! I've wanted one of those since I found out about them, but they're so far outside my price range

We need pics/clips if the Buchla set up, obviously ;)

it is a sexy, sexy beast.

soooo.... lol. now that i have all my cases in 3mm, Befaco makes Knurlies in 2.5 mm. woot. annnnnd everyone is sold out of the 3mm's. except Modular Addict, who sell them singly so it ends up $60 for a hundy instead of $40 when they're in a pack. but. i'm out of screws and want to set up my Home Racks so. ordered.

annnnnnd ordered 30 10 to 16 pin and 20 16 to 16 pin power cables in 15 cm (that's a tad less than 6 inches i think?) because i HATE the internal clutter of long ass cables everywhere.

mebbe it's silly, but the.... inherent hacked together nature of modular makes me WORRY. and streamlining things like not having power cables running everywhere and mashed down or flipped around a bunch to take up slack seems.... safer?

also, dunno if Outside The Case is where i want to be right now. listed my Quadrantid Swarm. neat, but never really touch it.
