A few days ago me and a fellow Portabella owner put our machines together for a comparison. Not too many differences, especially soundwise it seemed more or less the same, but there are a few little ones. There's a different behaviour of the random voltage generator (much faster rate on v2019). The ...

I thought I read on the Multi Engine mode, you can play the SammichSID as a 6-voice polysynth? Is that incorrect? I'm not 100% sure... :hihi: I didn't dive too deep into the menu because it was too much of a headscratcher for me. But I can't recall playing any preset sounds that were 6 separate voi...

Any chance you could chime in on my previous question about summing to work as a 6-voice synth? Are you able to do this? Not really. You can trigger the 3 voices separately but with two SIDs installed you can't address each voice separately. As per the manual these are your options: Paraphonic Mode...

Has anyone tried Papz SQ-1 with a Hornet or Portabella? Portabella and Hornet don't have the 8 pins Jones socket that the Synthi has, so I don't think that's possible. I use various Eurorack, MPC X and Keystep with my Portabella. All work just fine, so a regular SQ-1 with CV/gate out would be same,...

Also still trying to get used to the gain staging, this thing is SUPER dirty. Yeah, I try to keep the levels at around 6 if i want a cleaner sound; above that will introduce distortion. Green and black are attenuating pins — green is 6.8 kOhm and black is 68 kOhm both with 2% tolerance. At the mome...

A bit more expensive but Newtone also has them:

If you want black ones; I needed about 60+ caps for my TTSH. I bought a cheap second hand Behringer EQ (FBQ-3102 for €50,-). Took off all the caps and sold the EQ without caps (even with a small profit, so I even MADE money doing this). There's a thread on that over here: https://www.muffwiggler.com...

I have sort of started over a year ago. Since 2014 my system grew to a 27U 104 HP monster and I found that it was getting too big. Because I alredy had quite a few Make Noise modules I decided to slim down to a 15U setup with mostly Make Noise modules. At the moment 85% or so is Make Noise, the othe...

Finally finished mine:



Needed a bit of help with the wiring, but works great now. Still have a second one to wire though.

The Portabella is quite an instrument, but I have never tried the RVG Trig out...has anyone had any experience triggering say, a Roland drum machine? Best, John I just tried it out of curiosity after your post. I hooked it up to the trigger inputs of a Nord Drum. I found it needed a bit of amplific...

I just found out about these, and of course unavailable now

me want

They're back in stock now. I ordered #1 from the 15 that appeared in stock on Christmas eve.

I ordered mine in last March, received it August. Communication went very smooth, Sandro is very quick to respond to any questions. I went for the discount action he had back then; €1000,- cheaper (ex VAT) and with CV/Gate instead of the MIDI interface. I think he might have switched to the CV/Gate ...

Apparently AMSynths has helped with this:

Scaled down last March, from 27U to 15U (~85% of that only Make Noise). Put the funds of the sold items into a Synthi clone, Pin Electronics Portabella. It works much better for me. Having too many options doesn't spark creativity for me, apparently. Besides Eurorack I've sold some other items as we...

I found Patterns of Consciousness by Caterina Barbieri very inspiring. Amazing what she creates with so little equipment.

It's funny, but in this video, the vocals are what I like the least. Really? Well, maybe I'm a bit prejudiced. Possessed has always been one of my favourite metal bands and that was mainly because of Jeff's vocals. This album sounds just like almost no time has past since this and the Eyes of horro...

I haven't listenend to metal a lot the past 25 years but I just had to take a listen to the new Possessed album. And wow, just for the vocals I would actually buy it. Jeff has been one of my all-time favourite metal vocalists and he doesn't disappoint here, such an EVIL sounding voice. :sb: [video]h...

Apparently my love for Nick Cave comes (and goes) in waves. Let love in was my favourite and Boatmans call was an OK successor, but most of the material afterwards I found rather mediocre (with a few exceptions). Push the sky away and Live from KCRW were incredible though, so I bought Skeleton tree ...

I saw him last March when he performed the entire Avanti set, he was just using his four-track tape recorder. Has he switched to a laptop now? It's probably more convenient, but I liked the cassette approach.

Since most of my setup consists of Make Noise modules my OCD demanded that I change the knobs on the other brands to Rogans. Ordered from Thonk, they look nice on both Noise Engineering and AMSynths modules. https://i.postimg.cc/5tN3yTdr/0-F68-BDED-A8-F0-41-B2-AD78-0-B5357-C6-DCD2.jpg https://i.post...

I just tried it with my Roland PD-7 connected to the BIA. Soft hits won't trigger it, but a tad harder ones do. I then used the amp on my TTSH to amplify the signal a bit and that works fine for even the softest of hits.

Downscaled from 27U or something to 15U in the last couple of months. This is what I ended up with: https://i.postimg.cc/8P7qkrHJ/8226-FB39-2515-4961-96-E1-3-EC6-D688882-B.jpg I chose to go to mainly one brand and very satisfied with the result. Keeping everything within this 15U keeps the GAS very ...

most manufacturers won’t state board performance specs properly That's just a moo point when you design your own cheeseboard isn't it? I like to put the D and the I and the Y in dairy. Then again I also like to put pre-fabbed cloudy-type cheese through harder cheeserings just as much as the next gu...

It's this or the Qu-Bit Synapse. Since you're in the NL, there's a Rxmx+Fxdf combo for sale here . I have my DPO connected directly to the Rxmx instead of the Fxdf. Having the extra waveforms out of the DPO makes that the preferred option for me. There is indeed not quite much out there that would ...
