Should be the standard color. I probably would have bought one already but I have been holding back ordering one just because I don't want to look at a bright yellow module.
(designed by man with childhood issues- I know let's make it look like my brother's Tonka Dumptruck)
I spend lots of time in front of my box looking at the thing.
The yellow is almost as bad as the Roland green thing with their Aira series. Total buzz kill. Nothing futuristic about the Aria green color unless your future is the 1980's.
Toy Truck yellow is not how I feel when I am trying to make my sounds.

Let's face it mood is important and things that blow the mood have to go.

..... and i'm excited to have room to setup my TB-3 soon. lol. i also, am NOT a fan of that Cyberpunk The Future Is The MATRIX Green.

defo going to see if i can do something about that.

but yeah. on the one hand, sound/function of aesthetics. ALWAYS. on the other, you are correct suh. if i spend a lot of time looking at or working with something, it would be nice if it tickles my eyeballs and yummifies my cute things happy place as well.

haha. I don't think the Endorphines stuff is exactly Tonka truck yellow. They do look better in person, more of a goldish kind of thing. But I get it. Not my favorite color scheme, either. They do stand out though!
Tonka trucks always remind me of a scar on my chin. Kind of like every time I see a Pizza Roll I feel the scar on my cheek start glowing. haha.

Rene has arrived and WOWZA, this is what I've been looking for in a sequencer. Super playable, and the multiple gate outs/clock ins make it a dream for spicy rhythms. Looks like once my Plaits arrives I'll be pretty happy with my system, at least until the mysterious new Mannequins module (W/) is announced.

i'm skeered. i am super happy with my setup as is, the DLD gets in today so YES Chrono Upgrade, Plaits for the wacky extra VCO's will just be.... cake.

but i reallllllly want... well. all the Mannequins stuff. and the new MI's, except for the New Clouds (i just never liked the og one at all. i'm obviously missing something, because everyone loves it. but. nah. not for me), are going to be mad desirable probably.

I have high hopes for New Clouds.

That aesthetic is v pleasing. Remind me of some color choices ss/bs Brian makes in his graphics.

I'm getting a second wave of modular buzz, i'm just jacked to go home and figure out new shit. Watching non stop modular videos for a month before buying kind of got me burned out on researching but now that I'm all set up I wanna go deep dive again and figure out what the fuck some of the things I overlooked the first time are.

Not that I have one, but the CV inputs on Rene always seemed to be a feature not often discussed that could lead to some sweet stuff happening...

I also feel like I'm getting my "second wave" of modular buzz after not being into it for a little bit. Really want to pick up Just Friends next but not sure they are in stock anywhere... hopefully by Easter sale season they will be

& Bhendy, can I call dibs on yr DLD if you don't feel it?

lol. of course suh! i have the highest of hopes though. just got it in, plugged up, noise times woot!

...... also, i still want to get a Make Noise Skiff again to put some mixers and control stuff into. but i have no need for mixing at home. i mean, CV pan and volumes is NEAT, but it's not a necessary thing right now. and the mixer i have is perfect for recording for me right now. i'm thinking more for live stuff.

but that's silly right? i haven't even played out yet, so not sure if i'll dig it. and i can grab a little 8 channel mixer (looking at the Mackie VLZ4's, since they have PFL and Aux Send per channel, and still tiny) for like $200 total instead of $250 for the skiff, probably around a g to get 8 channels of euro mixing.... murp?

I think outboard mixers are better unless you have some cv type things you want to do. If you are playing out often there is a mixer at the venue. I had a make noise rosie in my case for a while but I noticed the fidelity not as good as a cheap soundcraft mixer, so in euro fidelity will cost more. Also offboard mixers often have simple eq that can really clean things up mudwise. There is also the send bus which could buffer and shape signals back into your rack for more sound sculpting.
I use one of these to boost/att. To the mixer...dirt cheap and small. http://ladik.ladik.eu/?page_id=1417

Does anyone have the expert sleepers disting? I’m thinking this may be a good first module to pair with my mother 32. Thoughts?

I've had a Disting MKI since it came out. It's a pretty useful module to learn things on, but it's definitely a "decent at many things, but not great at any one thing" kind of situation
