Can we talk about modular synths?

[MrNovember]

Ah man, I got 4 free knurlies with a module. They look so good but I’m afraid to open up the baggie and fall in love. How much do they cost MrNovember? I used to ignore them because my case was 4-40, now I’m m3...

I mean considering they're just screws, they're pretty damned expensive! $40USD for a pack of 100 on Perfect Circuit, which is like 4x to 10x the cost of any other screw on their site! That being said, they're a little more than "just" screws; the convenience of being able to finger tighten them and the included washers are phenomenal and totally worth it in my books

[Dark Barn]

Ahhhh! It’s so tempting!

[behndy]

murph. i just counted and it's 126 screws on the rack i want to do. that's $80 on screws, compared to the $9 i spent on about 150 each silver and black hex screws. those Knurlies ARE sexy though. someday mebbe.

also, the Malekko Gate Delay looks DOPE.

I saw someone here was possibly interested in the RCD. I have one and the Expander if your interested and in the US.

Haha I was, but you can blame Behndy for getting me thinking about Pamela

I kinda want a Rings now, I've been playing the modular physically through my Mikrophonie (and I have the Kommander + quNexus in addition), and Rings would be perfect to do this a bit further. I modified my 7U planning/adjustments (the case is full but I want to change some modules bit by bit)...

I'm also going to get a Digiverb 1U with my 7U softcase when my local retailer gets them next month, I've been using my picoDSP for reverb lately but freeing it for other duties would be nice (and having reverb at other points in each patch's signal chain too).

Ok stop w the elite screw talk. That is waaayyyyyy to bourgeoise for this guy.

It's a god damn screw. I don't care what you say

[popvulture]

Haha yep a damn fine looking screw, but I am not paying for that

And Osc yes the Rings looks amazing, been kinda in love with its sounds for a little bit now, eventually would love to get one. Post some stuff if you get one?

Got mine in yesterday!!!
I spent a little time with it as an osc and *very* little time with it as a processor. It's super gorgeous. Immediately I was able to get a pure Rhodes tone without any of the clackiness of the mallet. I've got a short clip on my instagram story (@EvanGordon) you can see for the next ~12 hours, but I'll post a longer one that'll stick around soon enough!

Dude, that's awesome! Sounds like upright bass! I fucking looooove that plucky sound I've heard coming out of the Rings, makes me wanna just disappear in to a cave of wanna be Steve Reichness and never come out.

ALWAYS. LOVE. RINGS.

also, E950 should be here Thursday. so excite. much much.

iiiiii love the Troika but she's just too big (giggety). i think i'm going to swap her for an E950, Twin Waves and Zed3000. same space, more options.

annnnnnnd if i lurv the E950 as much as i think i'm going to, have to figure out how to fit the Expander too. because SO HAWT.

[Strange Tales]

All this Rings love is getting to me because I'm starting to get really tired of mine altogether. I'm getting the same feeling I got with the Telharmonic after a long time with it. The sounds aren't as inventive anymore and anytime I patch it I'm immediately stuck in a rut with everything.

...Anyone want a Rings?
