Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Stackables are a damn near perfect product, probably one of the strongest in the entire eurorack market. I think the price is fair considering the context and amount of use (and patching freedom) you get out of them. I would definitely be interested in some competition and alternatives though. I have a Black Market splitter hub thing, that comes in handy when a stackable isn't enough.
Just ordered my last 2 pairs of Z-rails & ears, to finish the second 12u. Not sure about a skiff anymore, might just leave a couple Rolands and the ipad in that bit of table space instead, and do a Mantis on a stand or something.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
yeah. i couldna find anything comparable.
i mean. i would LOVE like........ Black Market to make stackable cables too, just so i could have a consistent color scheme. i'm not a fan of yellow, and that's the most useful length of Stackable for me.
cool. i'll just suck it up and drop a couple hundy on a handful of the buggererererers.
...... what is the little thing DivKid uses sometimes as a mid-cable attenuater called? cable plugs into each end, and you get a slider to attenuate the signal? looks USEFUL.
hah! dooder from Black Market Modular/Foxtone sent on a pair of those splitters he makes. NEAT. AS. BUTTS.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
The black and red stackables are all I need mostly, and I don't need a ton of them...black is the best balance of bang for the buck, length and color. I have 10 black, 2 reds, and 2 yellow, but no others. I need a few more reds at least, and maybe a couple more yellow, but that should be plenty for the system I have.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Every time I order something from a modular store I usually get at least two stackcables to go along with it, this way I don't feel the gouge as much. They're expensive but I love having them.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
I need to get more stackcables. I really like the red and the yellow ones. I have a few blues, but I never use them. I think I need a few more of both yellow and red, plus maybe a couple black or purple ones

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
Guess Noise Reap just posted this to their site, I'm very interested because it looks like something that can be used to great effect. It's a sampler based off of an old answering machine IC.

Finally the pair of Disting mk4s I ordered about a month ago are in stock. Its a super boring purchase since they will just replace my mk3s, but still feels good to have something in the mail for this first time in a little stretch.
