Can we talk about modular synths?

You can find the files for it here so you can get PCBs made and do one yourself:

I wish Flavio would let someone else design panels for him. Dude has hands down the worst artistic ability I've ever seen.


Also new Verbos Electronics delay. I think this was based off a Buchla delay that never came out, but I don't know Buchla stuff that well. Looks cool as shit though.

Strange Tales posted the link where i got it, he only made one but said he may make more if demand is there or you can get the DIY info from that link.

Industrial Music Electronics is not at NAMM this year because he's working on the dual wavetable PISTON HONDA MKIII with three axis morphing and nonlinear waveshapers

E352, 4ms Spherical Wavetable, and now the Piston Honda MK3. Looks like I have some deep reading between all 3 to do.

Also a ton of euro people seem to be dropping out of NAMM, or maybe it's just smaller companies altogether. Seems like everyone is just focusing on Superbooth instead.

Looking forward to deals on Piston Honda MKII once MKIII drops.

A good price on one of those would incite me to build out a 2nd rack.

well, NAMM is CRAZY expensive to show at.

6 new Malekko modules showing up at NAMM. They're all in this picture:

So I've heard. I honestly dont even know the square root of jack shit about what it takes to be at NAMM, just that smaller companies all pay for a booth together.

jia. i think it's about $10,000 a table. even split up.... noooot cheap.

huh. the DFAM has no reset for it's sequencer? that.... makes it.... WAY less attractive.

again, i'm not buying much loot while all the Important Life Stuff shakes out, but. oof. why? why do that?

MAN i want the Malekko Trashy Drum Machine if it ever comes out.

So I got asked to play a set with 45 minutes notice the other day & managed to whip up an 8-voice patch using my OP-1, Rings, Telharmonic, Mangrove, Plonk, Great Destroyer, Morphagene, and ErbeVerb. Considering how much I'd been playing Breath of the Wild and how little I'd been playing synth, and how I only had a single stereo output, I was incredibly happy with the patch & performance. I'd go so far as to say it's my favorite coherent performance I've done, public or private, on the modular synth so far. My buddy took a phone recording bc my KMix was out for repair, but the audio is actually pretty decent. Feel free to give it a listen if y'all wanna drone out for 23 minutes.

Thank you!!!
Yeah the crowd noise is surprisingly not terrible, and mainly adds a bit of extra sonic content if anything
Drummies are just the Stepped output from my Wogglebug modulating the Erbeverb Size control It's shockingly effective at making drum sounds.

Is that Dual LPG like an Optomix but w resonance? (and w/o Damp/Strike obvis)

[behndy]

pretty much? i think it's similar to a two sided vactoral PitsMod LPG?

about to plug her up now.

How do y'all determine how much to sell the modules you don't use anymore for?

I find it difficult in modular gear more than anything else because unlike guitar pedals, a module can still be "new" even though it's a years old design/production. We rarely get v2's until a decent amount of time passes, it seems.

Regardless, I'm compiling my list of things to sell (in a nice spreadsheet) and I'm trying to compare them to what other people are doing on muffwiggler but it's difficult because of how different every listing is.

Just curious if there's some kind of "unspoken rule".
