innnnnteressssting.

hurm. a pair of Pico Mods seems like the same as a Skis? but twice as expensive? i kinda like the idea of a Quadra and a Veils, even though it's not integrated like what i'd like. Streams is neat, but kinda big for what i'd use it for?

like, i would just love a 10-12 hp module that had 4 VCAs, each with an ADSR or AR/AD envelope going to that VCA.

WHY IS THAT NOT A THING.

Not that I've really got a dog in this fight, but the Pico Mod lets you have control over the attack and delay (as well as letting the envelope loop, giving you an extra LFO), while Skis only lets you have decay control (but it adds the crunch and filtering options). Also, Skis is an odd number of HP, which triggers me something fierce.

I prefer having the envelope and VCA decoupled so that I can use them for purposes other than just volume shaping (envelopes for modulation, VCAs for attenuation, etc). I'm leaning toward O+C or Just Friends with Intellijel's Quad VCA. That's a little way's off though, since I buy so much slower than you guys. I've been picking stuff up for a little a year now and haven't even filled 6U!

You could also stack the 2 scooper outputs to one, and as many of the envelopes as you want out the other jack...

so many awesome options. YOU BLAMPHERS ARE THE BESTEST.

the thing with Skis that appeals to me i guess is that it's setup EXACTLY how i use envelopes into vcas for vcos. so might be a cool tiny solution for one application? i dig all the myriad uses of vcas for sonic trickery, but i think i do want to have a few things that are super specific to each other/how they're used? i dunno. MORE PLAY.

also, this came in -

buuuuut i'm putting a new desk in tomorrow or Sunday, probably not going to play with until after that.

Are they going to sell those direct after the Kickstarter rewards are all completed?

iiii don't think so? the guy (who was super nice and awesome. ran the Kickstarter WELL.) did a synth before, never made more. think this might be all there'll be?

DILEMMAS. i hear nothing but good things about the Morpha?

annnnnnnnnd have a Skis incoming. and a Magpie panel, because yah. no thank you wood panels.

....... i really want to go to a 12u case after i get more comfy with present loots. i'm on the waiting list for a Amalagodooaofd Aussie built one, and man they aren't SEXY, but it's like a 3 to 4 month wait.

i like Ruiner's DMGHEHAR one? anything else similar that would be a quicker build time? i love the idea of a 12u case that keeps the patches when closed, and opens up to a flat bottom row, angled top row.

moop?
