Can we talk about modular synths?

[MrNovember]

I generally try to compare everything I sell to other things on the market, which, you're right, that can be hard when there's huge price variances on an item.

I also always try to think what I would offer if I was buying the item.

Other "rules" I follow:
If I bought something used, I generally try to get roughly the same price I bought it for, unless I've had it a long time, I beat it up somehow, or a newer version was released.

If I bought something new and there's nothing to really compare it to on the market, I'll usually just take like $25-$100 off the new price based on the original price, how long I've had it, newer versions, etc.

Man, the PLANAR II prototype looks sick!

I kept meaning to pick up a Planar for about 6 months now... glad i waited!

Three new Intellijel modules:

I'm buying the new Planar on release. I've been mulling what joystick module to get, or to just DIY one, but nope this is the one right here.

[MrNovember]

I have been wanting a Planar pretty much since I got into euro. I'm happy I waited now that there's an updated version

God damnit all these people need to stop making new stuff that I want.

[behndy]

what about that Manther GrowwwwwwwwwL though?

You can find the files for it here so you can get PCBs made and do one yourself:

I wish Flavio would let someone else design panels for him. Dude has hands down the worst artistic ability I've ever seen.


Also new Verbos Electronics delay. I think this was based off a Buchla delay that never came out, but I don't know Buchla stuff that well. Looks cool as shit though.

It exists. I think buchla made a few prototypes and Verbos did a few runs. They are pretty cool. Kinda like micro samplers that you sequence the delay line and overwrite them if you want. It's weird because the clock and stuff weren't really part of it...it had an envelope follower and it was like manual on/off kinda operation. There is a video set on youtube by batchas.

also, new Elektron Digitone is a 4 operator FM machine.

i. am. INTERESTED.

Ooo, how bout that mordax gxn granular sampler!

[worra]

Holy hot ham hocks, this was already pretty high on my list and I think this moves it riiiiight to the top:

mannnnnnn there's some sexy sexy shtuff coming out.

also, did a droney thinger -

All these new modules look pretty cool but I really don't need any of them... I'd have to remove other things from my case as I want to stay within 7U/84HP and there's already a Teletype in my future that will probably mean my Maths has to go anyway so I don't really see how I could get more space .

Also, I plugged my 22500 looper right after the modular yesterday (recording things for the ILF collab) and I can do so many things/noises with that kind of setup... I might have to leave it there instead of in the Reface pedalboard.

duuuuuude, that's REALLY good! Probably my favorite thing you've posted. Love the drum sound and pattern choices over that beautiful droney thang. NICE WORK, SIR!

Also, did a little one take improv over a patch I was really digging and wanted to at least document it before tearing it down... i too have the fear! Mainly a lot of knob tweaking over this singular patch but I was really enjoying it!

I'll have to give that watch. I couldn't remember if this one was actually made or not, maybe it was another Buchla model. Either way, Verbos stuff has been really interesting to me lately since I've been looking at additive synthesis stuff lately. Both their Harmonic and Complex Oscillator look really awesome.

I'm selling my Akemie's Castle for that new Elektron offering. It's like everything I've ever wanted right at my fingertips.
