That 2hp Freez looks promising. I might have to replace my mult for one...

ratsafratsamotherfurkarhrgrhdgwvwgehrhhhh....... sooooooooo..... does anybody, offhand, perchance...... know the size screws Make Noise skiffs use?

they sent a bag of screws with the skiff that just came in but they're JUST big enough to screw a module in. no furking way a washer can fit. and they're a different size than what i use with the Pittsburgh Modular case, and than what all the modules i have ship with.

blegh. off to the hardware store after work tomorrow.

M3 is the standard, I believe. Weird that you'd see anything else.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

My Cell90 uses M2.5. Major pain in the ass, as these are hard to find locally... But in the US it's probably easier :idk:
Anyway, you need longer screws (pre-emptive twss).

Also, does that mean that you filled that big-ass case already ?

Heh, I already knew there's no hope for him :).

Also, I might be getting a Chronoblob soon.
That would replace a couple of planned Ladik modules (and delay a bit (hahah, I'm so funny) some other things) but it might make more sense for me in the short/medium term...

Also, anybody here interested in a SuperSynthesis Ph01 mkii ? I've had one for some time but never really use it... It's a looping knob recorder with cv control over speed and sync in/out. Like and LFO that you can overwrite with a knob, basically.

Nice! I almost got the Chronolab as my delay waaaaaaay back when I first started. Seems like a cool one. Looking forward to your thoughts if you do get it.

Hahah :animal: :thumb:
But yeah, one popped up locally and it has a smart crossfade mode when you change delay time, which gets rid of that annoying pitch shift you get with delays usually. And a freeze mode. I'm very tempted.

I highly recommend the Chronoblob. It is by far one of my favourite delays. It's really fun sequencing the rate without the pitch bending.

lol. i'm just guessing m2.5 because that's what a couple threads said. busy butts day at work or i'd hit the local hardware store before Money Making Time, but i'll bring the screws that it shipped with to make sure.

they're tiny? and the Structure case uses 4-40 x 5/16 screws, i guess mist modules ship with m3? but those are both too big for the MN. woot.

lol. i still need 3 or 4 modules for the bigger case (Ruiny's case is BIG, mines is only 270hp), but i was going to keep the drum shtuff where the Metropolis goes, fill up the rest, THEN grab a skiff and pop the drums over there and grab a Metro, but got a good deal on one so.... needed to make room before it got here.

WHY DO THINGS TAKE SO LONG TO SHIP FROM CANADA. IT'S ADJACENT TO THE STATES. HURRY PLEASE.

also, i like the Chronobloopns a LOT.

I can confirm, Make Noise Skiff uses m2.5. And yeah the screws it comes with are some shorties!

I'm at about the same point as you Behndy, I put one module in my skiff, ran out of room in the main case. I put my O'Tool in the skiff since I don't need it most of the time.
