I have a line on one for cheap but it looks cramped as fuuuuuu.
I'm honestly not a fan of any of the mini-Mutables. They're just too cramped. The original versions are a perfect layout for me

I just ordered a 16n faderbank built by Michigan Synth Works! I've been waiting on them to be available for so long!
Here's the order link if anyone is interested: https://goo.gl/forms/vUupExFurFOXS0vu1
Also, the 16n page: https://16n-faderbank.github.io/

I also got in on this order, quite excited to try it out. Seems like a very simple and powerful control surface. I went with the natural aluminum panel, how about you?

I almost went with the black aluminum, but then realized I really didn't want to spend so much extra just for a nicer enclosure and went with the walnut instead. Depending on how I like it, I may end up building myself a new enclosure at some point

for some reason youtube videos decide for themselves when they want to show up on ILF.

Sounds great! i like how feedback fills up the empty spaces. There should be a way to patch this up tho, right?

give us a voice demo too :snax:
lol. okay! was going to try to do different simple osc waveforms tonight, will do some vocal THINGS too.

"Finished" my 7u for the time being.


Technically have 18hp I can sacrifice in the bottom row but for now I like having a little extra room for wiggling. I plan on doing some DIY on the blank 1u panels, probably a vactrol LPG or two and a manual gate button. I have a ton of learning to do still since half of these modules have come in during the last month, but I'm feeling more creative every day. Still have a Make Noise skiff that I may end up using for DIY modules and extras (like a Maths that should be in tomorrow).
How do you like the ER-101?

So far I'm really enjoying the ER-101. Feels like I have barely scratched the surface of what it can do, which is a positive.

I love being able to use the maths to randomize everything, works really well with new gate patterns. Randomizing and then quantizing is also fun for pitch. It definitely isn't as necessary to use purposefully, if you know what I mean. I was afraid it would only be good for inputting very precise sequences and not for happy accidents. It is actually an accident machine in the best way.
That extra CV out has made chords mode on Plaits perfect, being able to purposefully control the chord type with the root note. It's a good combo.
I've also tried recreating some DFAM functionality with it. Send CV-B to control the Intellijel Quad VCA with decay envelopes routed to various inputs. It's wild.

Still need to explore more of the tables, use looping more, and just get faster at it though. I find myself forgetting to focus the right things when trying to go fast and just losing my place.


Only feature I wish it had was a built-in clock. Every sequencer should have an internal clock IMO.

Multi-voice percussion module maybe?

lol. setting aside monies for THAT. 24 hp is huuuuuuge, but. i mean.

DAYUM.

Looks like some different knob styles including a bigger knob. Maybe it's a rotary encoder (maybe the wrong word for it but like, it has fixed positions you click to when turning the knob) or a big ol' filter frequency knob.

EDIT: I'm really dumb. #CIP -> Cursus Iteritas Percido

yep. LOVE the Cursis. curiouuuuus about Big Boy Version.

also, listed a few loots for sale -

Built a 8hp vactrol low pass gate thingy for my 1u space. Works really nicely, I'll probably build a few more in 3u for my spare rack.
Middle position of the switch is a basic unfiltered "VCA-ish" position, top is very mild filtering, bottom is a decent high cut. A potentiometer instead of a switch would have been nice if there was space but these barely fit all in a line.

Still looking for my white whale sequencer, caved and ordered a Five12 Vector and expander, from Schneider’s since they had them in stock. This will probably displace my Nerdseq when it gets here, I like the power and potential of the Nerdseq but I find it difficult to navigate without the manual by my side, and for some things like tied notes/gate lengths that I do often, it is a little fiddly. And maybe I need glasses but I find it hard to read the screen. #gettinold

I Nerdseq is an awesome beast but I need something I can get deep with like on the Cronenberg level.

urrrrrrrf. so. i'm..... not a strong man. been moving loots to have the funds set aside for the GIGANTIC PURCHASE that will be the Pulsar-23, and it's been going well enough that it looks like i'm.... going to grab a Grid from a local dooder.

lol. shut up you.

see? this. THIS is why i was super tentative about grabbing an Arc. it's FUN. buy damnit Monome.

..... least i can use the Ansible for the two apps that interest me the most, Kria and Meadowphysics.
