So, I need more LFO, and would like some built in attenuation so I don't have to have every fucking signal making a pitstop for it. What is there? Dreadbox Ypsilon looks incredible, but only has the one attenuator.

No idea how to embed on mobile.

Kick is retriggering samples from Radio Music, snare is sending gates to a Turing Machine to advance the ‘sequence.’ Pretty primitive considering my goals, but it’s proof of concept before I finish the system and buy enough cables.
This is awesome.

Realised I can achieve fairly similar results by sending clocked random CV into the Radio Music. I don't think this would be worth the price for me

Surely the main draw is the Carter/TG sample libraries.

Yeah, those would be awesome, but not really worth buying a module I don't really need

This clip makes me really regret not getting a Natural Gate when they were still available

They'll come back eventually, right? Like, maybe a few months. Modular moves so slow sometimes!

He said he's doing another batch but I think I saw him write not for another 6-8 months.

Yeah I feel like the Natural Gate is everything I wanted the optomix to be. Really hope I can snag one when theyre available next.

Batumi with the expert firmware has onboard attenuation. I wasn't a big fan of the UI for the expert firmware but if you're going for set and forget I think it's a good option.

he told me "lead time was a couple months" on the Nat Gates. SERIOUSLY want one.

also, got the Skipmins and Euclidean Circlets in. so fun. and using the Skipmin as a mute is awesome, love bumping the probability down just a tad for the random minor changes.

good stuff.
