Finally got my replacement Channel in and everything works!

It still took a little bit of effort to get everything to fit, even with their replacement bolts, but it's together now and I am actually really enjoying it. Channel is definitely pretty key to the entire instrument.

What kind of tunings are people using for Channel?

Mine is currently held up in customs. Not looking forward to the 25% import tax plus customs fees. If the unit is broken in any way, I'll be very much out of luck as customs don't really believe in things shipped as "repaired unit" or "replacement unit". I've also got to hunt down a PSU. All crossable body parts crossed!

That's unfortunate. I got hit pretty hard by customs originally, but I didn't have to pay any customs on my replacement unit.

Dude that would fucking suck balls! Hopefully they shipped it right! My new panel arrive really well packaged. So, I think they learned from their mistakes there. That little bit higher cost in shipping is cheaper than taking all those returns. Especially with international folks. Let us know how it turns out!!

Mine is here. Inspection of the boards hasn't revealed anything obviously broken, will be setting it up in a couple days to see how I get on with it!

Mine is on its way. It'll probably reach Tokyo early next week.

I need to find time to clean-up/rearrange my synths space before that :).

Those of you getting shipping notices: what's your number? I was wondering how far along they are so that I could figure out when mine would be shipped. (I'm in the 270s)

I'm starting to really click with the Mescaline.

New favourite thing is feeding the output of Channel back into the input of Channel:


Other clips just trying to figure things out:

I got three loose caps. Is that the record so far? Do I win anything other than having had to pay $160 in import taxes and fees?

This was post Folktek improving the packaging btw. Not pictured; another box full of bubblewrap that this box was sitting in.

Yay!

Wait, is their improved shipping just adding packing peanuts? I guess it's a slight improvement as things won't move as much, but I still think they need to be individually boxing each panel

The boards are still just packed in a single bubblewrap folder...bubbles facing inwards, tugging at all the components.

damn man, sorry to hear that. Yeah... that's not really a packing fix. Individually boxed board or much more bubble wrap around each is where they should have went.

I had 3 caps missing from my Channel module so we're tied!

Like I said on Facebook, that sucks ass. It sucks on many, many levels for you and for them.
