Thanks that is good to know. Looking at the build guide it's more like 50K, although I stay well under 12 o'clock to avoid distortion..

Thanks, that gave me something to google, which made me find https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/understanding-impedance . So that sounds like a bad idea. Would I best look for a VCA-based module that has an output impedance that matches the input impedance of my audio interface? What would be a...

I'm happily using a triple attenuator module between my modular and my sound interface. Recently I have been wondering if there would be any downsides wrt quality vs. using a VCA based output module. Anyone with more electronics knowledge than me can enlighten me? Edited to add : This module (AT-AT-...

I used an ipad as well with fairly quick results, start at max volume and retry with 10% lower volume every time until it sticks.

Just realised my avatar image is the perfect illustration. The black corners are out of reach.

Depends where you center your coordinate system. In any case, the edge cases where both pots are at min or max can't be reached in a round joystick.

Just removed the springs from my ol' Doepfer joystick and instant joy increase. On another note, why does almost every joystick have a round hole? As satisfying it can feel to go round in circles, is nobody missing positions like x=0, y=0?

Just installed mine. This thing is absolutely bonkers, great effects all around. The only problem is deciding which algos to leave out of a firmware.

Colour your existing nuts with a sharpie?

Hats are the hardest to nail IMO. In every 'almost there' drum machine it's always the hats that disappoint. On my RD-8 the hats are the one furthest from the original, so I would not be surprised if they were a bit off on the RD-6.

Thanks for confirming, this thing is a lot of fun.

Just received mine from the latest batch from SchneidersLaden. The online manual makes a big fuss of using a special cable (2x6) with thicker wiring. My module however came with a bog standard 2x5 ribbon cable. If i remove it from the module I see the connector is 2x5 there as well, so the special c...

Agree. I don't pay VAT so new is 21% off already. Second hand is rarely much cheaper, and buying from a company has a lot of benefits from a consumer, like warranty, return policy, fast shipping &c.

Depends, if it's bare copper it could have corroded beyond return, if gold- or silver-plated it should be fine.

I received my new credit card on 808 day so that was a sign I could not ignore.... Today the RD-8 arrived and it's very fun to use. I've read the quick start guide which refers to the user manual, which is not included. Did anyone else get a printed manual or are we supposed to download it?

I'm not able to build my own hardware. Teletype was on my wish list before I discovered SuperCollider.

You can get the original ready-built Norns if you don't want to solder.

I'm having a lot of fun with Fates, a self-built clone of Monome Norns, which is a little Raspberry Pi powered music computer that uses SuperCollider as a synth back end and lua as a GUI front end. It is part of a whole soft/hardware ecosystem, and I'm using Monome Crow as a eurorack interface with ...

Last year I walked out of my house to hear this performance over the IJ river, quite magical how 144 ship horns still sound so clear over a large distance.

How come you are using them more? What were you using to control the synths prior to receiving the vector? I guess the process is more fun for me. Before I was either struggling to integrate a DAW with the modular and MIDI synths or using a hard disk/MIDI recorder instead of a DAW and struggling to...

Assuming Xaoc are manually soldering the encoders after receiving the PCBs with SMD parts from the factory, I wonder if there is a drop-in compatible optical encoder out there. I'm lusting after a Zadar in my system but would gladly pay a bit extra to not worry about encoders going bad over time.

I really find that with the R*S the type of capacitor really plays an important role in the sound of the feedback i chose the advised polystyrene caps as they were more raw sounding and not so clean as the others like for instance the "tropical fish" caps. Interesting. I've found https://www.patch-...

Im just curious... does anyone here use this a lot for midi sequencing? I'm curious if this could be a brain of a setup outside of modular. I've made tunes from the Vector without using any modular stuff, just external MIDI synths. I would say I have used my rack synths and my Blofeld more then eve...

If it's a hum you have a ground loop. Only way to fix it is to have all interconnected devices (including computer) hooked up to the same (grounded) wall socket.

It's hard to imagine a cheaper version, isn't the current one sold near cost price? Loving mine BTW.
