Yeah, three or four years ago. :laugh:

It's ok it prompted me to break out the skiff for the first time in months. LET THE SWEET CASUAL DRONE COMMENCE. NOTES ARE FOR SUCKERS. I'M BACK!

Messed around on Modulargrid some more during some downtime at work today and I think I figured out my potential plan:

Still not going to do anything crazy just yet; I definitely want to spend some more time with the Matriarch and Digitakt before making any decisions

GAS'ing for a Pittsburgh Lifeforms SV-1b......

Anyone try one?

Not sure why exactly?
Came across some cool videos and it sounded good.
Maybe because I lack a straight forward east coast voice in my rack.....
Potentially the black box semi-modular version to use away from my rack.....with SQ-1 sequencer. (young toddler and incoming baby)

though, I'm not sure how long I can be interested in sitting down with a sequencer and east coast voice. (since I'm mostly interested in random/self generating stuff so far)

I don't have a MIDI controller or touch pads either.
Am I understanding it correctly that you can't use the ARP feature without midi?
Is the keystep or beatstep a good midi input if I were to go for this?

sooooooo... might have an Iridium on the way.

i am SUPER happy with my rack. i was being stupid. i don't.... really.... like oscs in euro? i get frustrated keeping them in tune or how many pieces you need just to make a controlled fucking SOUND. ugh. and then doing anything polyphonic. UGH.

so. drums, sequencers, buncha buncha effects.

the Rytm for analog drums, A4 for 4 voice analog melodics, Erica DB01 for Fancy Time acid'y bass stuff, Iridium for everything digital can digitally do.

solid?

Which I had something to offer than just being a superficial git and only seeing the purrdddy in it

It is an aesthetic/10 case for sure.

Also looks VERY fun.

What do folks think about Mutable Stages? Starting to find it very attractive the more I look at it...

Also on a mutable note, I'm tempted to swap my 4xVCA for a new Veils because slidey slidey. Looks nice to use.

Let's hope this isn't the start of a dark path to $900 reverbs.

I didn't really get a chance to play much over the weekend, but the more I think about it, the more I realize I couldn't sell the Matriarch.

Now I'm just gassing for some euro to pair with the Matriarch

I have the opposite problem - I can totally see a matriarch in my black friday future, even though I always end up selling moog stuff within a year. :picard:
