I mean nothing wrong with just having an 8 voice synth that can do what that thing does. I already have an Ambika and Shruthi XT though. Also if (when) I move to Japan hauling a Deckard's Dream sounds like some sort of nightmare. Honestly might've just made my decision there to go OP-1 + Coco. Build cred though.
I don't know about the Morphagene. It's cool and stuff, but I really like what the ER-301 can do with sampling (and everything else it can do at the same exact time). It might be time to start selling off euro stuff though and downsizing. The ER-301 is a monster of a machine.
Also Peter Blasser being this generation's Don Buchla sounds pretty on point. Seems like a really cool dude from whatever I've read from him.

The Coco looks very appealing now that I'm reading about it. Aesthetically I love those instruments.

New Eowave looks outstanding but I kind of want a double knot instead... because I have an 0Coast.

First. World. Problems.
I have major gas for the Deckard's Dream! I wish I had more DIY skills as that seems like an awesome project. I've been planning of getting more into DIY and, if it goes well, my end goal will be to build a Deckard's Dream. Let us know how it goes if you go that route! A dedicated build progress thread would be interesting.

That would be awesome. I have no specific questions, but if you try it let us know what you think. I wish I had some extra funds so I could back the Kickstarter, but that really isn't possible right now. I'm definitely interested in getting one sometime in the future though.

I'm having to send my Double Knot back to Will for repair. Output 8 of the second sequencer died. I've been desperately looking up a way to send something to the US for repair and not pay customs on it's return again but it seems it's not possible as I'm not a business. When I sent my Tetrax for repair I ended paying the £100+ customs charge twice.
I'm also probably looking to offload my Double Knot upon it's return, if you're interested let me know.

Speaking of Ciat Lonbarde, did everyone see the new Deerhorn Organ (intersections) design? It's seriously freakin' awesome, aux inputs...

Would you consider an 0-Coast double Knot swap?

I would consider it! Let me look up the 0 Coast stuff and we can PM. Are you back in the US at all in the coming months? Might be easier for me to get Will to send to you there if so and avoid those pesky customs.

OK, 10mins of googling and reading the 0-Coast manual i'm coming up with nothing, what's the CV range on this thing for ins/outs?

Looks like +/- 10V

Thanks! Clearly I didn't look very hard. So that basically makes this thing a very dangerous addition to my setup...... negative voltages are a big no no for everything I own except the Bug filter filter. There's something you can do with diodes to lop off the negative voltages right?

What's the problem with negative voltages?

Broken gears, or so I'm led to believe. I dunno what technically the issue is, but Ciat Lonbarde and Lorre Mill Manuals both state you should not put negative voltages into them. My cv-able drum machine bits are the same deal.

Finally got a chance to watch the rest of the Quadrantid Swarm demos on their Kickstarter and damn it sounds good. I'm going to have some serious thinking to do when I get my reply from Soma when the Lyra-8 is ready. Going to be a close decision between the two (if I can even justify spending the money at all).

Also there is a distinct LACK of demos/sounds of the Softpop since it was released, wonder if it's a disappointment after such a built up and long wait?
I don't think the Softpop has really landed in all but a few choice hands at the moment (or retailers, for that matter), but hopefully the demos will be plentiful by the end of the year (or sooner than that)?
I still haven't snagged a Bitranger, though.
Also I love this thread
