damnit behndo, I already got a TGD cause of you! I really want a Manis Iteritas to get even grimier

I stopped by Perfect Circuit last week and holy shit that place is amazing; overwhelming, but fucking amazing. it was basically empty besides me and Baseck, I wanted to fan boi out so hard but I was too shy didn't spend time with much besides the vidiot and a spectral resonator. that thing is drone heaven

lol. i would at least fluff his hair and say hi. he is AWESOME.

jia. next time i'm in LA totes want to spend some time in PCA. there's a tiny modular store in Oakland and Robot Speak in SF, keep meaning to wibble out there.

dood. get one. the Manis is AWESOME. so many angry toans. some really pretty ones too.

That makes sense. I still haven't let go of the dream that my Mantis case is my only case ever.

Yeah, I'm staying at 7U/84HP too. It looks like many people here are about maximalism / adding voices and voices and voices. I'm more interested in sound texture than complexity I think, and the thing I need to work on more is overall structure, which is why I have a Teletype in my near future (once I actually take photos of my Folktek Mescaline, list it for sale and sell it).

I modified my long term plans to incorporate an ER-301, which is a complex thing but will actually make the "one case only" setup even more efficient as it can be a multitrack recorder and a looper, which means I won't need external things for that. So, the 7u/84HP case, some small controllers (quNexus, Kommander), some things to play with Mikrophonie's contact mic and maybe a pedal or two and everything fits in the case's gig bag...

Btw, that means I'll probably have a BIA for sale soon, and a uVCF, Maths and STO too I think.

I too will be sticking with my 7u 84hp. I wanted a noise/drone box and I think I can get a lot of crazy textures with it. The Digitakt/Digitone, Blofeld, monosynth, and guitar/bass should provide everything I need for a long time. Unless I decide I want an analog poly. Oh, I do need a few mics for some occasional vocals and guitar at some point.

After the recent splurge on the Digitone and circuit bent monosynth my gear lust is pretty much 0%. Which is nice. So I hope to be on the internet less and not looking at gear demos. Unless it's for patching ideas. It's time to seperate "Ooh, that sounds cool I need to buy it." And instead think, "How can I do that with what I have?"
Basically learn my way around my shit.

i mean, i don't want to go HUGE, but. yeah. small things that do what they do well like the Twin Waves? yes please.

that said, swapping the AJH Mini Mod back in for the Even VCO. because sounds WAY better.

You have 18U.....don't you?



I've also really tried to keep myself in my 6U/104 case, and it's working well so far. I have an extra skiff that I will probably list for sale so I can be rid of the temptation to put stuff in it. I feel like there are SO many possibilities in 6U/104, it's a great size. Sure, I can't try all the new cool modules all the time, but really, most of us can't. I'm lucky to live close to a store where I can try before I buy (Switched On), so that helps keep my GAS at bay. That said, I'm swapping out my SMR and my Cursus Iteritas for the SWR the moment it hits the market.

I realized I'm not using the planar as a controller now that I have Rene, so I'm going to lose it and my 3x VCA in favor of the tangle quartet, which should also free me up about 12hp. Not sure what to fill it with yet.

loooove the Tangle.

lol. but.... but..... 18u doesn't really feel like....that much? it's. just..... one a half cases? about half of one row of the 6u doober is set aside for the Swarm too.

i woullllld love to have enough room to have 20 to 30 hp sized modules for most everything. the knob grabbin space would be NIFTY.

Nice. The Teletype looks bonkers. Are you planning to do live coding work with it?

+ I've pretty much permanently mated a Sonic Potions LXR to the Mantis case. Trigger outs on the thing = tasty and bouncy.

Manis so good. Damn you, making me all gassy.

right? that thing is GRIMY. really digging it.

i.... need more delay. watching vidjas, i'm thinking about the 4ms Dual Looping Delay a lot. anything better to check out for no more than 20 hp?

Nice one Behndy! Also... didn't you want a Rainmaker? I'm about to be selling mine so just throwing that out there.

I miss the DLD I sold. Magneto does a lot of great things but the DLD had some versatility that I miss (2 independent channels, the ability to freeze and reverse). You'll be happy with one.

thanks bebe!

murrr. i DO, but a Rainmaker is down the road a bit. i want to flesh out the 12u till it feels full and can fit 20 hp at most. lol. and, i can't afford a Rainy right now.

got a pm out to 2 Muffs Peoples. WAITING.

My Muse Is Liono - nice! yeah, Magneto looks neat but need another delay more right now. DivKid's vidja on the DLD has me pretty. durn. MOIST.

I think I might be having another mass exodus sale of modules soon.

I just bought a Rev2 with the fruits of the first exodus. Hardware polysynths are my crack.

Maybe I'll go Pro 2 next to use as a master controller because of its CV functionality...

I have definitely been eyeing the Rev2 for my one and only analog poly. But there are some cool VAs out there that are still appealing. I'll know in a couple of months after putting some time into the Blofeld if I feel like I need to go down that road.

How do you like the Rev2 so far? How are the effects?

Anyone in here rocking a Just Friends? In general modular is the most challenging and gratifying way I make music, and the Just Friends is at the top of that heap. I'm really starting to get into it now with self-patching and it feels mighty good to feel like I have a handle on it.
