Yo Behndy, according to social media Quadrantid Swarms will start shipping this week! I am getting excited to get my hands on it
Also, finally actually read up on the features of the Magneto and now I have bad gas for one. I mean, I knew it was a tape style delay, but the features look really nice and the layout looks a lot more intuitive than I was originally thinking. It would go a long way in my simple setup

well. when my tracking number actually shows movement.

I might save you some money : you can't change the timing of the taps.

So I got me one of those ROLAND GO: MIXERs to record modular clips for putting on the internet. After a software update on the old Android, the thing will only record stutter-step audio which ruins the clips, of course.
Is there a thing which does what the ROLAND GO: MIXER does (i.e. provide recording interface for phone video) but is not a ROLAND GO?

I use an iRig interface, works great with the Camera app on my iPhone. Not sure about Android compatibility, but it basically just connects a 1/4" TRS to the correct pins on the 1/8" TRRS for audio in.

Hmm, that may actually save me money. I see there's three different spacings available, but no manual control....hmm

Ok, I have a real question.
Is there anything advantage wise on having a small modular set up vs using something like Audulus (or similar programs)? I ask because I have been continuously messing around with recording and it's almost all textural or synth based. So, I'm thinking about dropping a bass to get a few items that could produce different sounds I hear in my head (though I will have to do a lot of research). I'm just wonder what the advantage of having the hardware vs software would be in some of your opinions?

Hands-on control versus touchscreen. Easier integration with other gear (pedals, amps, recording, etc.).
But it sure as hell isn't cheaper.

Immediacy. The experience of turning a knob and having all of the connections literalyl in front of you is so much different than moving your mouse and having a gui full of numbers and equations. Just like the act of playing music with traditional instruments is a collaborative process with the sounds themselves and the gear that produces them, same thing with eurorack. It's part of the reason a lot of eurorack models do simple things in very esoteric fashions, it makes you think differently.
Also, Audulus is a lot more...ahem, modular than a standard modular rack, as it goes component level rather than just modules. It has a pretty steep learning curve to do anything that's not beyond the mere basics. You might want to go with something like VCV Rack that's free to try your footing.

Ditto what they said. I tried the computer based synth thing and it never really clicked. I find it far more enjoyable to have the hands on control and limitations of the physical hardware.

So after messing with e352 for an evening I’m ditching a bunch of shit and going for an e370. I need that sweet insanity.

from the new episode - Continental Grift
this one is all done in modular featuring Plaits harmonic oscillator and Epoch Modular Twin Peaks filter among other things.
