The item in Ruiners picture will work, the jack on the side needs to be connected to the banana format power ground. They're made by Low Gain Electronics and are purpose made for format jumbling.
I've been searchin' for the dolphins in the sea.

There should be a ground connector somewhere on the Folktek...

According to Low Gain: "to your banana modular systems power supply ground jack" but I'm not sure what that means in practical terms.

Behndy, god man you have been making so many sweet purchases lately, can't wait to see your updated rack(s).

The new Waldorf vcf looks awesome, but I've kind of got the Morpheus jones now too.
Studio Electronics definitely knows who is cool to team up with...

lol. me TOO. i got the drums skiff built up how i wanted -

then after a few days of play figured out the only Hexinverter out of those i like enough for the amount of space they take is the HiHats. which is AMAZEBALLS. like, it was good. but then fed some of the Jupiter Storm into the input? holy BUTT dongles. so. GOOD.

so...... have some other stuff on the way and putting aside loot monies for a Bitbox. the main rack is almost finished in the next day or two?

Nice! I like the idea of the Doepfer ratchet thing, seems like a great addition to any sort of clocking/sequencing array. Detroit Modular has it in black now too, might have to hit it eventually.
The Dreadbox Divider is proving to be an extremely useful 2HP, and at $49 new, one of the best bargain modules there is. I rarely use it for clock div, as it can also divide audio into squarewaved suboctaves. I'll probably get another one at some point, it makes those Wogglebug oscillators infinitely more usable.

yeah. i like the idea of the Doepfer Ratchet way better than the actuality. it doesn't respond as fast as i'd like. i have a Ladik Burst hitting soon that i'm going to try in it's place.

the Dreadbox Divider is OF INTEREST.

woot! Terrarium and VCNO showed up today. and i'll be done with work early.

YESSSSH NOISES PLEASE.

I decided to give the beatstep pro one more shot and hooked it up to my skiff. I spent the past hour building up and tuning a jam I was really happy with, and I start to second guess whether I should accept how cumbersome I find the interface because it offers a lot of flexibility...

Then I go to save the project on the BSP, but I press the save pattern sequence in the wrong order, and all the work is gone :mad:

My fault I know, but now I'm definitely getting rid of this thing :lol: if I try to save something and I can inadvertently erase it all that quickly, I think that's a pretty poor design. Maybe im just trying to make myself feel better... Didnt even get the chance to record it. Le sigh.

Mysteron is definitely staying though, it sounds so good with its duophonic capabilities.

NICE! with the upcoming e352, people will be dropping the e350's like dummies that don't know what's what.

I'm curious about the VCNO, I have the VCNoiz, which does some really cool stuff and this one seems like a variation more than a replacement...
