I've had some good bonding experiences with the Electro Cardiogram recently. It's a great little drum & rhythm filter with a sexy light show, and clips are pretty scarce on youtube, so I put together a few sounds.
Wogglebug & Warps oscillators used for drum/perc voice accents, mixed with white noise from A-118. Envelopes from Peaks, additional CV from Wogglebug & A-147-2. :rock:

The new Xaoc stuff is giving me the business. The filter especially.

Major gas for the Belgrad, but I need to be responsible and not buy one. Mostly because I'll definitely be buying the Samara when it hits the shelves :lol:
Xaoc are by far my favourite company at the moment

I sense I might have a use for Paypal credit with that Belgrad, it's hard to hold back :lol:

I might dump my MI Blinds for the Samara, Samara seems to be just as much/more in a smaller package for like $20 more. The only thing I'd miss would be CV-able attenuation of each channel.

I actually already dropped my Maths for a Mini Slew and the Samara. I have a feeling I'll like the pair way more and they'll be able to cover most things Maths did plus a lot more.

My rack is actually coming very close to its "final" form (I'm pretty sure I've said this before...), but I want to fit in the Samara, Belgrad, Knight's Gallop, and a Planar and get rid of my Optomix, Echo Delay, and Mix/Mute 4.

Yo. This is probably a dumb question :facepalm: , but I want to control my Ciat Lonbarde Tetrax from my EHX 8 step, and I don't much fancy buying a Low Gain UTL1 just for a single 1/4" to banana converter.
Can I do the same thing by wiring up a mono socket to two banana sockets? Tip going to one of the bananas for the CV control, sleeve going to the other for grounding (connected to ground jack on the Tetrax).

Come to think of it, :idea: could I wire up the tip of that mono TS socket to a whole bunch of banana jacks to CV a few different Tetrax inputs simultaneously? Or does this divide the voltage? Would that be a problem, I mean i don't need accurate pitching for the oscillators or anything.

That should work. Current divides in parallel splits like that, but voltage stays the same in each branch.

I've stopped looking at modular lately, I still have the gas, but the wallet is squishy and bruised.

Implying that will stop you. Implying it's stopped any of us.

Same here, but I've just said fuck it because my job is making me hate the world. Scheduled a demo day at Detroit Modular tomorrow so I can do something selfish and live a little.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
