"all i want for christmas is you" tenor sax sheet music -> multed into Hyperion reverb and morphagene then I sing through spectraphon  but the clock is ticking faste:  idk if i can do this that uses basically all of the secret keys to hit unreasonably high notes. If i could take the week off.... and send the kids away.... further edit: I have abandoned the expert level and am going to see if I can butcher the intermediate level version which gets the point across without going into the satanic octaves. Use a friggin alto if you need to do that poo poo, IMO, and if you have to hot swap during a song, you're just cribbing a boss guitar move

Building a 7u84, possibly today, if not, next week. I am out of space and I want to make my 6u70 into a dedicated video box, and then use the 7u84 as an upgrade to my main rack. Who has 1u rows, and what do you do with them? I thought about a plum o_c and some other utility stuff but in the end I settled on (and ordered from Pusherman) a Lange Anna, which is a 3x 1-4 buffered mult @ 84hp. I will probably snag the 3u version of the Arm expander which just provides one more set of outputs. My workflows seem to often involve sending 1-2 pitch CVs around various things and also often passing an audio channel around multed a lot into different stuff, so having a big rear end bus along the whole top of the case seems sweet. Or bottom; I need to figure out my layout. I have all the parts, I wish I had a bored friend who'd do woodworking at like fifty bucks an hour to come tack it all together, because that would still end up being cheaper than a rackbrute or w/e and gently caress do I not have much time. I need to bust rear end at work today so I can ski tomorrow. CVS001 - Circuit Bent Video Enhancer showed up yesterday. It has no problem eating mainbow output but I think it shines the most when mainbow is manipulating video. edit: Just mainbow output, 1st ~7secs are mainbow, then we cut to same patch processed through a CVS001 patch being hit by an LFO from Mainbow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs4wKy2ZjuM This one is Mainbow processing Alice In Wonderland, same deal, first we see what mainbow is doing, then a cut to CVS001 bent. I really like the effect here, we go further from "recognizable movie" into "woah man there was something unusually funny in that tab of acid I took". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQnZsuM4QMw As you'd expect, as an enhancer, CVS001 has a more profound effect on things which have well defined edges etc, so, getting pure mainbow output to do interesting things is a higher bar. I'll definitely continue to explore it, though. Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Dec 12, 2023 |

For 1U, I have a befaco stereo mixer, and output modules, a bernoulli gate by someone else I can't remember, a filter from intellijel, a quantizer and hi hat modules from mosaic (great selection of lower cost 1U). The motion meter 1U is pretty tempting. Oh, and I almost forgot my cutest little module https://www.mosaic1u.com/shop/p/led

I have a bunch of 1U stuff, a lot of it intellijel - mults, oscilloscope, filter, steppy, quadratt, output and headphone out, plus a 1U o_c, probably some others I'm forgetting. I have a couple of the small Intellijel palette cases and a 10U84HP case I built so I get a lot of use out of 1Us. The modules that get the most use are the mults and the quadratt, followed by steppy if I've built out the case for it. I almost never use the o_c for some reason, probably option paralysis.

The Intellijel Midi 1U system is bonkers if you're using your system with a DAW and you like to patch up multiple independent "instruments" in your rack. You can expand it with up to 4 CVx expander modules, each giving 8 CV outs, for a total of 40 CV outs. Everything is assignable and programmable in their downloadable utility. You can make polyphonic blocks, you can make drum kits, you can define trigger length, note ranges, note priority etc for each CV out. It's definitely been exactly what I wanted out of Eurorack MIDI

There's also a reason I asked this question after paying for Lange Anna. Which was 220 shipped and fills all the space. But I am sure I will build more 3x+1U racks in life. 800peepee51doodoo posted:I almost never use the o_c for some reason, probably option paralysis. I've used like 7 out of 200 different modes on my Disting EX, lol. But, you know, Disting has an audio-to-pitch-CV that can be patched to its own compressor that really isn't exactly like much else out there. O_C has that harrington mode which, ditto.

I dunno, I've gotten some cool stuff out of it: https://rocketmermaid.bandcamp.com/track/fernweh I finally succumbed to the siren call of the Versio platform, and Desmodus Versio is a drat fine piece of kit so far. I've been prepping for an ambient gig I'm playing in a month, and I'm finding that its "infinite" mode with lots of shimmer is fantastic for haunting drones. Hell, brushing the springs of a spring reverb and outputting that into Versio is pretty much instant Halloween music. This thing is far from a traditional reverb but/and it rules.

Heck yeah, the DV is my favorite eurorack effect that I've tried. It sounds insanely good and really unique. Ive been putting it on drums a bunch and making use of the ducked/gated reverb thing it does. The fact you can switch out the firmware to their other DSP effects is a bonus but it actually makes me want to add a Ruina to my setup. That's how they get ya.

I found out about the woovebox a little while ago and thought it looked pretty rad. A tiny groovebox with a full bespoke synth engine, sampler, multipart sequencer with song mode and a million features made by some Australian guy. It fits in your pocket! Very cool. Also very sold out, of course. So I put myself on the list and then, in order to scratch the tiny, single-creator groovebox synthtoy itch, I ordered a Nunomo Qun mk II. Not as fully featured but much weirder. I figured it would be months before I heard back from woovebox but as soon as I got word the Qun mk II shipped, I got an email from woovebox and just now put in my order. Looks like I'm gonna have a bunch of minisynths in short order. Now I'm wondering if I'll ever hear from Audiothingies about that Micromonsta 2....

"this video stuff is probably just like other eurorack" turning out to be one of the dumber thoughts I've had latelywikipedia posted:A composite video signal combines, on one wire, the video information required to recreate a color picture, as well as line and frame synchronization pulses. The color video signal is a linear combination of the luminance (Y) of the picture and a modulated subcarrier which carries the chrominance or color information (C), a combination of hue and saturation. Details of the combining process vary between the NTSC, PAL and SECAM systems.  the practical upshot of this seems to mostly be understanding why some hue/saturation combos really glitch out but also has a ton of gear design implications. I'm realizing I never really understood how analog video worked. Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Dec 13, 2023 |

A prototype keyboard that Moog built for David Rothenberg got recreated into a playable state.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYdAgrOKWSM I'm figuring out mainbows audio abilities and limits. It's got 4 different modes; 2 of them relate to peak detection (used here), and 2 of them display a tunable version of the spectrograph itself as video. The first thing works real good for being response to drums or high transient peaks; the second works real good for being fed whole-audio streams or individual voices with intesting/complex spectra. I've got a 3rd send setup in Ableton now, so that ES-9 can only pass some subset of audio back to Mainbow. Outside of other actual video synthesis modules, the things on my mind now are: video rate matrix mixers, LZX voltage clockable LFOs, etc. Someone compared using an audio CV mixer for video, to "passing all your audio through an LPG you can't control". This seems apt; audio is 20hz-20khz and video is ~60hz - 10mhz, so even audio gear that's overbuilt to go way out of range, will lose some information. There's visual examples floating around online of video going through audio VCAs vs an LZX thing. Interesting.

 Just got this weird little thing. It is...esoteric. I knew when I ordered it there was going to be a learning curve but so far this thing is somewhat impenetrable. Like, you'd figure you could goof around with it a bit and make some sounds and poke at it to see what it does but even getting it to make a sound is unintuitive. I'd seen some stuff online where people talked about it being hard to figure out but didn't think about it too much I guess. Also its a pocket synth that doesn't have a battery, or a place to put batteries, which seems like an odd choice. And micro USB for power, gah. TRS midi tho! Gonna gently caress around with it more and see if getting over the initial learning curve is worthwhile and if not it goes on craigslist when the woovebox shows up.

  Made this a bit thicc and may cut it down before making a top for it, woodworking is very imperfect and I still need to make a top, but it all works fine so went from 60u70 to 7u84 in primary box. I think the Lange Anna is gonna be real nice and also I will get an Anna's Langer Arm 4hp 3u.

What are you using for power? External power supply or did you build it internally? Just saw a thing on a new sequencer/random cv source from Jasmine and Olive Trees called Water. It's a neat sequencer module but the cool thing is that you can change the firmware to switch it to their Traffic module, very similar to NE's Versio platform. Im liking this trend of multifunction modules, considering how expensive this hobby is. 800peepee51doodoo fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Dec 16, 2023 |

I used a Meanwell transformer and diy'd some busboards from AI synthesis for mine. I'm looking to build out a bigger case in the near future but I'd like two rows of 1U and I'd make it a two section angled/straight. My current case is a straight box and at 10U its a little unwieldy. Its fun and cool to build your own case if you have the tools and means. B33rChiller posted:The next advance along those lines should/might be to have enough onboard storage (or whatever hardware necessary) so that the different firmwares can be switched between internally without whatever process is involved now. That J&OT module has a dipswitch on the back, which is better than the NE Versio method which requires you to plug in a USB and have it connect to their website. That's the one thing I don't like about Versio. It would be better if you could at least download the firmware and store it offline for when their website eventually breaks.

Oh boy, am I excited to make this post! I did a thing for a friend and long time mentor for Christmas and I've been tight lipped about it because I know that in theory they have an account here, but they couldn't wait until the 25th to crack the box when they saw how big and heavy it was. The backstory is that this person is a long time skateboarder who I made a pact with to buy bArps last year, but they don't have any other Euro. So, trying ti pull them in but also give them a cool thing that instantly plays nice with the bArp. The other part of the backstory is that this is as much a reflection of gratitude for ~2 decades of friendship and mentoring, as it is a 2023 Christmas present. The... Skakethesizer.
