Huh, I didn't realize that L&M even sold eurorack gear. Not sure why I never thought to check. Oh well, I'll wait until Moog Audio gets theirs as I had a discount code with them anyways

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
I forgot Beads has that osc in it.
As for myself, I have just put in an order with Perfect Circuit for an Erica Pico Mixer.
This incredibly exciting module will "even out" the hp which had turned odd due to a Bastl Tea Kick.
Soon, I will have a techno micro-system with 5 voices.
1. Drum Boy Kick
2. Drum Boy Snare
3. Drum Boy Perc
4. Tea Kick
5. DuKrpls
I want to replace the DuKrpls with a TipTop Z5000 but nobody seems to be selling one at the moment and I do not feel like paying retail.
I realize the DuKrpls is a voice and the Z5000 is an effect but it is what it is.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
got the Vector in. it's... deep. fun as butts so far, but there's a few key elements that i'm getting to work by accident not understanding. so. MORE TIME.
annnnnd apparently EssenseFM has shipped. which. UPS from France means a week or three weeks. no real hurry, i have a ton of loot i need to get my head around.
lol. and might have a lead on a Motor Synth, which i do NOT need, but have lusted for forever. even though the physical spinning motor noise means i can only use it when i'm in the music yarea by myself, wife isn't working.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
sooooo... yes. yes PLEASE on the Vector.
it seems to have a good range of tonal shaping for each corner, then Warping between them in different ways is a blast.
more noisey exploration -
[youtube][/youtube]
first patch wubblings -
[youtube][/youtube]
and it is FUN to program/play with.
also, really dig the onboard effects.
murrrrrrr. think i'm gonna list my Iridium. it's crazy deep and good. but... i don't like using it? it's frustrating to dive into.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
I hope that Iridium goes for peanuts in 20 years so I can try 1. So cool. The Vector synth looks a bit like Animoog for iOS, no? Neat either way.
Check out my fuckin' awesome micro-techno set-up. Still waiting for the Drum Boy / Girl and the Pico Mixer, sigh, but 1 day soon I will be producing excellent micro-techno jams on this lunchbox.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
So I've sold a bunch of stuff and now have a Tiptop HEK & uZeus, Mutable Beads, Make Noise No Ctrl, Make Noise Strega, and a Clank Chaos on the way. Although a bunch were pre-orders/backordered, so who knows when they'll actually show up. I'm excited to make weird, synthy music again!

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Yeah I could only find it for direct purchase. I'm in the 4th batch that's supposed to be available this spring/summer. Also, coming from overseas, so I'm not really expecting that one any time soon. I am still really excited for it. It was between that, Marbles, or Bloom and I think the Chaos offers the most and has the most intuitive looking controls.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
yeah - i was gonna say - on first glance it looks like a really nice sweet spot between Marbles and Bloom that would probs work better with my preferred workflowMrNovember wrote:Yeah I could only find it for direct purchase.
