Monome gear in.... Shout out to Dr Shermsticks for hooking me up with a 128 grid cuz god damn have I found my sequencing home. First impressions with Kria are so, so good. Haven't even touched Meadowphysics yet but I anticipate that being it's own can of worms and satisfaction.

Now someone buy my Rene + Tempi so I'm not broke pleeeaaase ;)

Lyra-8 is pretty sweet, but I'm probably going to sell/trade mine. It sounds amazing, but I really haven't really clicked with it as much as I was expecting and once the initial honeymoon phase wore off, I've pretty much stopped using it :(

I’ve played a couple of the bigger CL synths and... I... don’t really GET them. I’ve heard some really great and really interesting and supremely GODAWFUL music made with same.

I’d probably hit a Tetrax, though... that one seems to make the most sense (probably because there’s only so much going on).
I'm with you on that. Haven't played any actual CL stuff, but have played all the Ieaskul F Mobenthy modules and as much as I love the ideas behind all his stuff, it's just too much work to tame and actually get good sounds out of it. I much prefer making weird noises with a more straightforward synth
I'm a CL fan, own and use a grip of CL gear. Plumbutter 2, Tetrax, Tetrazzi, Cocolase.

I don't GET any of those pieces but I feel confident FUCKING AROUND with them which frequently generates AWESOME SHIT. I don't really record my CL jams, though, so that's a grain of salt to contend with.

No one really knows how CL gear works or what it should do. The gear itself is psychedelia and hallucinates its own sounds. Even if you are an electric engineer and understand which diodes do what you won't be able to reach The End of CL possibilities.

Tetrax is a good place to start. I straight-up traded an 0Coast for mine and feel good about that trade still. There's even a handy cheat sheet out there:

One day I'm going to nab that ROLZER for the Plumbutter 2 but not yet, not yet. Also v. curious about the SHNTH which seems like some underground head fuck version of Monome shit. The SHNTH programming language looks too hard for me grasp but you never know.

To conclude, Ciat-Lonbarde.

This is exactly what I love about CL gear and what always makes me want to try it, but every time I have owned something similar (IFM modules, Mescaline) this is also the reason I end up flipping it. You can definitely make amazing sounds with them, I just don't like having to stumble around in the dark to find them. That being said, I still really want to try a Cocoquantus

This tracks with all of my experience with CL kit and the folks that use it...

Solid trade. I'd like to get one at some point, as it seems like I could actually integrate it into my stuff gear and musical though processes without upsetting the mental hierarchy too much... I keep toying with the idea of pickup up a Double Knot for the same reasons...

Haha sorry! It's still amazing and you will love it!

Behndy already scooped my Lyra and now I've got a DLD (+ some cash) on the way. Probably going to put the cash into proper monitors or maybe a Witch Shifter

I've had mine for 3 days and it is amazing sounding. The oscillators are very organic, very Buchla-esque. You're going to love DLD, it's been my favorite delay in eurorack so far.

DLD is sooooo good. i'm still figuring out how much i want to use delay, and for the last month or two a Chronoblobber has been where i want to be.
