I need to do some reading up on mods for the Mikrophonie, because this idea is extremely appealing to me as well... :idea:

I haven't seen too many crazy mods for it; I've just seen someone who had drilled a hole in the center of the circle and attached a spring there. I'm thinking about doing something similar, but with old guitar strings like Folktek's Gardens. I'm also tempted to attach some metal tines to it like a Kalimba.

Also I happened to have some money left over in PayPal so I've got an Ears on the way. I also have a Basimilus Iteritas Alter on the way too. And Pretty Years and hopefully a Bitquest. Shit this is a good month :)

Ears sounds pretty rad.

Do you have a way to interface the Gristle with your modular setup? Highly recommended if you do.
good deals are here.

Ok. I'm officially in. In a small way. Just bought a vco and a vcf. Waiting to hear back from a guy about a case. Call me a scrub or the worst kind of noob, but I'm looking at getting mostly Intellijel pieces insofar as I can find them used at a decent price. Not only do they seem quite nice from a beginner's perspective, since the catalogue is so deep, but it also eases nagging (possibly fictitious, in my head) interoperability concerns while getting started. I can't afford to build my ideal synth, but am happy to get the ball rolling.
I've been searchin' for the dolphins in the sea.

Literally all of eurorack is built on interoperability. :lol:

Well, I'll have to spruce it up if guests are coming over.

But mostly Intellijel, with a MN Maths and Optimix, an Endorphin.es Shuttle Control, an ES Disting, and maybe a *gulp* Modcan Touch sequencer... but for a sequencer I'll probably have to try a few, or maybe even just run it from DAW, undecided... eventually want to have two full voices so I can get gnarly with my Linnstrument. Don't care about drums at all for my build.

Edit: in my defense I have come across a few rare gripes of certain modules not cooperating well regarding expected and received gate and trigger voltages. To keep myself focused on the practicable fringes of my naïveté I decided to not read up on those sorts of issues and get a few Intellijel pieces, and then worry about the rest later.

Wait have you not taken the plunge into Modular Grid yet? You totally should.

No, I have! When I said I'll have to spruce it up I meant figuratively. I have two guest accounts there, one for my phone one for my laptop. I should make a real account so they match up.
