^ I'll have to listen to this when I get home. The modules list makes me think I will dig the style.

Anybody messed with the DFAM at all? It sounds really really good in the few videos I've watched.
Don't really see one in my immediate future. Just curious.

I am thinking about a Digitone though....

So some of you must have gotten the email from Prymaxe that they're now carrying all the Waldorf modules...this got me curious enough to investigate and find out more, so I went over to the site and had a little chat session with Steve.
Turns out they've also acquired 4ms and Tiptop this week, and have discussions pending with WMD, Malekko and others, and he wanted suggestions for what else to carry, so I gave him a few pointers and protips. He seemed pretty green for someone who's about to become a dealer/distributor...didn't know about the 0 Coast, for instance. Definitely seems eager to get started though. At any rate, it looks like Perfect Circuit is about to have some serious competition as the go-to for holiday sales, which could be a great thing.

That's great to hear. I know Prymaxe had some controversy around here for a reason I cannot remember but those holiday sales are real. Plus, they're close by so I wouldn't have to wait for weeks.

The one time I ordered from them the pedal I got arrive in a Manila mailer envelope with a hole through and the box. Luckily the pedal was fine, but never again.

aren't they the ones that fucked FuzzyHuggles and BriBri and other small builders over? or was that the other place that went out?

also, why is there no awesome 6 or less hp reverb module that does NOT need a tank? the 2hp was the only disappointing module from them i've had, the Pico DSP is.... okay.

but. you know. WANT.

Pretty sure they were the ones that did bad things to small builders. I don't remember the specifics though.

I have the 6hp Aeverb mkii which to me sounds great but I’m STILL getting rid of it because it doesn’t always power up on my power supply. It was in fact the cause of my troubles during my live set in Portland. Audio Damage meanwhile has chosen to hide under a rock regarding customer service issues.

I find the lack of good reverb in eurorack confounding and plan to either eventually get a rack reverb or just a good reverb pedal... I have a glimmer of interest in the DIY Dervish module (spin chip DSP effects) but the lack of demos has stopped me from ordering one.

I’m also holding my breath a little bit to see what Clouds replacement can do.

Just wait for something else that will be released relatively soon that I cannot yet speak about, okay?
