Thanks to the Sale/Trade area, I've added one of these to my relatively recent exploration of NonlinearCircuits. It's in transit and
I'm ready to pair it with Blacet gear. Time Machine, Klangwerk, Improbability Drive. Maybe an oscillator or the phaser.

Rats! I just ordered from them yesterday without thinking about that.

I'm glad that this thread about selecting a chair is no less well thought out or creative than any of the other technical topics we discuss. However, I offer a "less is more" solution. Get a light weight wooden cafe chair. The older ones tend to exhibit better carpentry & materials. You can repositi...

Here's a simple one. CTL2 (joy stick) and Dual Filter. Run X&Y from the stick to the filter CVs. The filters are in series, usually Low to Hi. Resonance pretty high so it will ping a bit. Feed it some subaudio pulse or saw.

- the trouble now (especially the last year) is how many plates I can spin... I've had only a couple of requests for them the last year so... Yeah! Makes total sense of course ;) I just felt I had to praise the Chirper, again :hihi: Count me in as a big Chirper fan though I understand Tom's relucta...

New three row frame to show you. Here's the backstory: 1. My primary setup is a euro/frac "instrument" that's great fun for improvising with other players (prepandemic) or for instant analog/organic soundscapes. 2. During the pandemic I picked up some chaos modules and gathered up a couple rows of e...

Andrew is outstanding when it comes to helping people get their modules straightened out. Buy lots of his gear!

Quite a loss. I was fortunate to see him in a small venue when Return to Forever was brand new. Powerful trio! (Oops, quartet)

I dedicated an O'Tool+ to one setup and it's been perfect for the task. Now I'm finishing up a jam packed second rack which would benefit from more scope channels so I'm looking at those flat digital jobs. Rigol DS1054Z has 4 channels , 50MHz, for about $350. Impressive though one review complains "...

"save money - buy another case"
There you go. I just a matter of re-framing the problem.
Though if you do want to fill 3hp, I second the recommendation for the Zlob diode chaos.

FX-Aid. It's the Disting of effects.

Well, it's not here yet but I think the NLC 4SEQ I purchased will be one of those.
Small mixers and matrix mixers.

Nice. Interesting setup too.

...for a cool internet radio station in Scotland

Can you tell us more about that?

I like the NLC Envelope Follower for that.
The preamp has up tp 20x gain, outs for preamp, gate, envelope follower. I use it with a piezo pickup on a metal percussion gadget.

Thanks, that explains a lot. I'd like to see the slew/VCA part of it as a separate 1u module.

I understand the slewing with the VCAs. Wasn't sure what the switch was doing but I think I get it now, the four to one switch turns on one of the four slew-VCA channels. That could be fun. The Binary Block addresses 8 knobs. Two to the third is eight so three gates needed to address eight channels....

I'm a little puzzled by this and may simply be missing your point. Why are there "three CV inputs and switches familiar from the BugBrand Binary Block and DDSR" when this is a 4 way switch? Two would be enough. I also don't understand how the switch relates to the sluggish (slewed control) VCAs.

Plenty to choose from but for the basics I think the DittoX2 is hard to beat.

We're long overdue for another soundscape episode.
Here it is: VoyageLanding

Maybe a window comparator is what you want. For instance, the 2WIN.

I'd say it's a great example of a certain genre within a larger realm. Clean sounds around ENORMOUS SPACE. Not too boring but maybe I'm not the one to ask about that.

Taking about "song structure". I'm (this is very OT) trying to make "songs" on my modular...

Great. reminds me of Kraftwerk Robots.


And here's a somewhat evolved version of what I posted yesterday.
ChaosKit #58

I made another one while troubleshooting some things. ChaosKit #57
I'm a little stuck wanting to add some sort of "song structure", still generative, without adding lots of gear. I think this will come from a small basic sequencer, maybe a switch, a couple utility bits.

The Chirper has one 1/4" output jack. If you plug that into a jack on a module in your eurorack that will provide the ground connection between the Chirper and your eurorack. The one exception I can think of is that a passive panel (e.g. a panel of 1/4 to mini adapters) isn't connected to your power...
