Can we talk about modular synths?

[behndy]

neh. slide on THESE nuts.

or something.

i hate the idea of any spaces between modules, have never owned drilled butts, don't see the hate for White Castle Cases.

1u rows ARE appealing.

[behndy]

oooooo! rest of my Noise Eng panels and modules just shipped WOOT.

I just ordered a shortwave radio and want to meld it with my modest modular setup … I saw that someone already had this idea and did some cool stuff with it …

of course, you can use websdr.org but a real analog radio with knobs is more "real"

I used to have an Evaton RF Nomad. It was actually a lot of fun to have in my system. I need to start using the shortwave radio in the Field Kit more often

The problem with the module-based shortwave stuff is that you don't have a screen to show you what station you are listening to. You may have some favorites that you don't want to spend all day finding. But that nomad does have an antenna jack, which is pretty cool ...

I get that. An actual indication of what frequency you're on would be pretty nice. I really ended up using it as a noise source and found very few real stations. The Nomad also didn't have the full shortwave spectrum which was kind of an issue for me so I ended up selling it.

woot! more lpg's GOOD. i love the DPLPG i have in blue, two in black just showed up

[brndnwilliams]

Anyone know anything about the stereo LPG’s from Strange Science Instruments? I’m looking for a LPG and most of my stuff is stereo. Never heard of the company before though. Behndy, what do you use your JF for mostly? I just got one to use with the Verbos harmonic oscillator

[behndy]

lol. it sounds sooooo damn good as an osc that i could only make myself put it in cycle mode once.

i have a second shipping when Ctrl Mod gets them in (they expect mid July YES PLEASE), so then will be able to explore the modulations aspect more?

[brndnwilliams]

I got it for modulation but have been listening to osc demos. whoa! so sick. Mine ships wednesday and I cant wait. Have any of you used Cold Mac? I had no interest in it for a long time but it's starting to appeal to me after the Moody rig rundown videos and other vids. I wish I had a shop closer to me

[behndy]

lol. i have barely touched my Cold Mac. she is.... intimidating.

[MrNovember]

So according to the last update, the Quadrantid Swarms are supposed to start shipping any time now. I have little confidence considering the way they have been progressing with it, but I really just want to finally get my hand on it. Even though I am like 95% sure I'm just going to end up flipping it

[behndy]

lol. yeah. ship this week. we'll seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

i'm still excited about mines.

but i reallllllly want a GR1. trying not to max a credit card ordering one.

[MrNovember]

I'm just hoping they ship sometime in July. I'm still kind of interested, but I'm really happy with my Mother 32. I think I may try to trade it for a DFAM. We will see though. The one thing that may win me over is the polyphonic abilities.

[behndy]

yah. everything that looked really cool when the KS launched still has me all wibbly. i have excitement. and as neat as Mother and Grand Mawms and DAFM and SubHarmonious (only one thst truly entices me) i just have never felt any Moog Lust.

if the Swarm is hawwwtnessss it might be awesome in a smaller rack. i love my 12u, but i'm super interested in a smaller 7u setup too.
