Get my Varigate to pair with it!

My god I have to lay hands on a Cloud Terrarium some day, just to know.
I've been searchin' for the dolphins in the sea.

What would the Varigate 8 do for a Voltage Block other than provide clock?

Maybe take gate outs from each sequence? don't quote me on that.
Word. Voltage Block has only two inputs (CLOCK/CV, RST/HOLD). I love it.

Sooooo, I might expand again. Well, kind of. This isn't even really a big change; I just want to get all of the things I like using in one case. It's going to be a 104hp Intellijel 4U and I'll be using an external mixer and an SQ-1. I also want a more "standard" oscillator again, but I'm not sure which. I'm thinking either Braids or wait for Manis Iteritas paired with a Dixie II? Or maybe I should wait until next year to see what Olivier is working on to replace the newly discontinued Braids? Any other suggestions?

I might eventually expand it with a control skiff as well. Although, not for a long, long time and by the time I do, it'll probably look completely different. But still, not sure if I would go with the Voltage Block or Tetrapad?

It does so much stuff and is surprisingly intuitive for a menu diving module:

I really like the Quantermain mode: quad Turing Machines through quad quantisers. There's also envelope generators, LFOs, sequencers, shift registers...

Nov, how do you like the Digitank?

Today I used Maths as a gate delay for the first time and it was pretty sweet. Subtle rhythmic flourishes are nice. Also I decided to switch out the DPO in my skiff for the other voice modules I have and immediately wanted the DPO back. So whatever I was talking about getting rid of it for... that was dumb. & since I'm on the cusp of buying a bigger case, I put this mock up together for shits and giggles. I think I'm getting closer to knowing what I want?

Two years in and I still haven't got a real honest to goodness big boy oscillator. Now that it's down to less than a whole row left for each rack, I'm thinking Black CT in the Trog/Roland rack for ultimate victory and cosmic annihilation. It's a perfect fit with the black Doepfer stuff too, and I can't think of a better module to crown the jamstand with.
Plonk and maybe newbraids can headline the other desktop rack, supported by Warps and the Rainmaker.
