the joyo atmosphere is quite appealing to me. will probably get it at some point but i have to take it easy a little bit because i just bought a stupid amount of cheap pedals and a not so cheap mooer r7 x2 reverb.

Chronoblob2 ftw. I love having a send and return in the feedback path And you know what? These Flamma stereo delay and reverb pedals are pretty kick rear end for reasonable cost too.

chronoblob2 looks sick, i wish I had more HP Flamma pedals are really nice. I have those 2, the stereo modulation pedal, and a mini rat clone from them. I'm trying to amass a lot of stereo pedals and I hope to one day have them connected to a patch bay

The Teensy I ordered arrived the other day and I got M8 headless running through the web display. Really impressed with it so far, it's like they took every sharp edge of LSDJ and sanded it smooth. Big one for me is making the B+A combo return the selected option to default no matter what it is, in LSDJ this only worked on certain things and it always bugged me. Looking forward to diving in deeper after work tonight.

Wait until you get into the FM synth. It really hits a sweet spot of simplicity and depth allowing it to punch well above its weight. Obviously the Braids implementation is the first star of the show because you can get some big sounds with no work but once you get into playing with FM and tables the sky's the limit.

That's really what I meant when I said I was planning on diving deeper. The FM Synth seems really powerful I just need to wrap my head around how it all works. I've been able to get some nice sounds from it but I'm having trouble making percussion. I did notice Dirtywave sells a synth-drum pack on their site so I might grab that to learn how they're made. My main experience with sound design is on my Digitakt and that is very visual and not FM so translating that to the m8 might take me some time. e: looks like Dirtywave made a kick from scratch in one of their livestreams, this should help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjCqkZceYvQ&t=636s e2: gently caress yeah i made a kick and it sounds cool CRAYON fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Jan 13, 2023 |

Yes, the drumkit pack sounds amazing. There's a lot to learn in there. Or just use them as presets. There's also some good sounds here to learn from: https://www.impbox.net/matey/ It's still got that FM trap of everything turning to poo poo if you start changing settings without a plan but it's not as bad as DX7 style patches because there's fewer parameters. Just the learning curve of new concepts (such as the tables). I'm still trash at FM but someday I'll figure it out.. right?

thinking of ordering one of the new Cosmix mixers about to drop. I've wanted an in rack mixer for a while, it's got sliders which is a big plus over hexmix. Anything else I should look at? i don't want to spend PM money downsides of the comix appear to be: only two channels have cv panning, no EQ, no expansion module yet so it's vaporware. note: you can use these things in parallel already linked with the expansion port. 4 channels plus 2 stereo is fine for now though, that's what I'm working with on a zed10fx more or less

Probably worth comparing to the Toppobrillo and the SSF. I really like my vortices, but have been thinking about switching to the minimix and downsizing my case quite a bit. The saturation is definitely noticable on the vortices - there's a Hifi version without the tape saturation. Both are probably going to unobtanium at some point in the relatively near future.

Finally got around to loading a ton of custom wavetables on the E352 and wow, that thing is capable of an incredible array of sounds from the same table, can use them as waveforms in its 2 operator mode, etc. Just a stupidly powerful VCO in an absolutely heinous amount of HP with knobs the size of thumbs. I want an E370. Do not.... do not.... e: the diff between what I could sell the E352 for and what I'd pay for a 370 is less than what's in my slush fund right now

I feel a lot less panicky about major players moving out of Eurorack now that a lot of this stuff exists in some fashion VCVrack. It'll never be the same as having a physical module but it's enough of a balm for my chronic gear FOMO that I don't feel the need to run out and panic buy any Synthesis Technology stuff on the tail of that news. It also helps that there's just so much cool stuff in Eurorack right now and there continues to be more cool stuff made. When I first got into it there was that sense that any of your dream modules could evaporate into the ether if you didn't get them the first chance you had, but I just don't feel that worried about it anymore.

Mutable Instruments always did this the best, I thought. Open source software, open hardware plans, totally OK with clones existing. Basically a ton of stuff to plan forward for what's happened, stopping production of Eurorack modules. I have no problem with it because I know clones will be around. I have two MI clones, because they're 1U in form factor: Peaks: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/after-later-audio-pique-upeaks-black-1u-intellijel-format Veils: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/after-later-audio-dvca-1u-intellijel-format

Yeah I feel like Emilie really set the stage for Eurorack to come, I feel like there's enough people in the Eurorack world that care about having the "true" or "original" module that even if another big/popular company open sourced their modules, you'd still have people hunting down and paying for the actual article, so it feels like it wouldn't cut that much into your bottom line. But that's just a guess on my part. I have MI Braids and Clouds and even though both have a bunch of clones out there (and the Braids was basically replaced by the Plaits) I still feel like I could probably hold on to them for a couple of years and sell them for at least as much as I paid for them, if not more. In general I really couldn't care less that they're MI instead of a clone, but I know there are people out there who do care, a lot... so I say open source all the modules. Hell, even when I got into Euro at first, there were at least a few modules that were "heavily inspired by the discontinued module x" and I can't see that kind of legacy going away, ever, especially given how many classic Euro modules are effectively Buchla clones with some extra spice added.

That makes a lot of sense. The presence of plaits algorithms in my microfreak doesn't diminish the prestige of the real deal. If anything, it boosts it. Having it open source from the get go probably helped a lot with that.
