thats super barebones 
This is not the last version of it, the official manual is completely lacking the MIDI implementation section. All I could find was the 1.06c manual, so the information may not be completely relevant today.
But yes, itās rather simple indeed.

1.07 is no better for midi implementation.

Brian told me in an email they were never satisfied with the Ladder card and said it felt so close to the regular stock filter theyāre probably never doing another run. Supposedly my unit is going out November 1-3 also so yay.

Interesting mikey303 over on the M8 discord did a little live stream of them all and that one is his favorite of the lotā¦ it has a different growl to it for sure and a way squeakier resonance when cranked (I donāt love that part of it but you just have to be a bit more careful with the res)ā¦ plus it has a bandpass mode, I personally felt pretty safe skipping over the 2044.
this is currently written on the 2044 filter cart page on the website, so maybe he has rethought doing a ladder run again.

Iām on the discord, but where can I find it?
He just did it live in the jamming channel I believe so sadly no archive of it just a thing he did spur of the moment.

A goal of the avalon was to be exactly the same circuit as the original, which predates midi, which is why theres basically no midi or (sound) presets. All the extra bits they added even run off a seperate power supply to keep the OG as it was.

Well I got a text from Brian and a tracking number. He lives 40 min away and I asked if I could just pick it up locally but he said itās easier to ship.
Should be here tomorrow hopefully!! Ordered July 2021 and Iām not sure Iāll even keep it at this point!
Keep an eye out for a possible black with red led Avalon with filter cartridges in the next day or two

Hey everyone,
I managed to order an avalon from the last batch.
I forgot to add a sem filter, and tried to email Brian to add on my order without making a new one.
Never had a reply, anyone knows how to contact him apart from this: brian.castro@abstraktinstruments.com
Thanks
Will any more of these ever be made?
Unless Iām mistaken, the most recent batch was the last one.

I think so indeed.
Itās not a reason to give scalpers what they ask for it.

Theyāre getting it on reverb. 2 of the new ones just sold today within 5 minutes of each other on reverb. Kinda surprising that they were both bought so close together.
I want a good modern 303 iteration but not that badly.
