i like the idea of Stages in harmy oscL mode, but Just Friends just sounds better to me. put JF and 3 Sistahs back in and dayuuuum i forgot how much fun they are.

holy sheezee i love the VG8 but i can NOT get it to reliably reset. tried every single thing i can find online. it felt like Darkest Barnyard's suggestion was working, but it sometimes resets, mostly doesn't now. so frustrating because it is just a joy to program.
If you find a good alternative to VG8 let me know. One of my favorite modules (that + Voltage Block combo is so good) but I can't justify having it if I can't start and stop in sync with everything else. It's a fairly popular combo and given how frequent clones and recreations are in this space I'm surprised there aren't more alternatives.

yeah. i love using it. and the VG4 syncs fine. mebbe it's some type of hardware not software issue? i know Josh and them just put out a beta update, but in every FW i install, always has the same issue.

damnit.

Trying to get in the habit of uploading to YT more. Levels are a little low but :idk: couldn't resist patching up the rest of the case to the skiff.

dude, lemme get dat arc if you don't get along!! I think you will love it though. Second JF on the way and thinking I should grab a second Cold Mac too. I'll chill for a few days but the CM I have is parked with the w/'s. Are you gonna do any i2c stuff like polyearthsea to JF and 301? if so, maybe you want ES so you have knobs? I guess they all have trade offs. I'm using ansible for it now.

I wanna move my optomix and morphagene. If anyone wants to trade stuff, let me knowwww :)

ufhfhfhhh. see. SEE? THIS is what scares me about the Monomer stuff.

so. freaking. DEEP.

...... i'm just happy to learn the Ansible and Arc first, build some sample manipulation patches with the 301? lol. just watching vidjas on their loot makes me want to go smaller with just Mannequins and Monome and Orthogonal loots.

YEP thats what happened to me. https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/m ... 798227.jpg gonna grab doubles of all of the mannys and either a second ansible or an earthsea. crud- maybe a third when I can grab an arc. I didnt even think of that til now. side note... norns is sick. I love it and I think you would too. they're making an expander called crow, which will allow norns to communicate w euro. I'm just so happy with this stuff lately and am a big advocate for it :))

2 Cold Macs is the ballerest move, inscrutable patch wizard status.

@Behndy glad you got your PNW-VG8+ sync issue sorted, I find it useful to full reset Pam’s once in a while since it is very easy to forget that you have a channel out of phase or a pulse-width offset.
