Eowave Quadrantid Swarm

Which size/type of those thonk caps fit good to swarm?

Yeah, I think so
I probably should have left them off the note value pots on the pads, because you can bump them, but it’s not hard to dial back in and I wanted it uniform
And it looks like an angry bumblebee now!

I think they’re just called ā€œtall trimmer topperā€

Is Thonk the only supplier of these caps? Is there anywhere in mainland Europe that sells them? (I purposely avoided writing ā€˜knobs’ because @Fin25 is childish).

I don’t know
I’m in Australia and it was extremely fast shipping from the UK. Wasn’t too expensive either

Ha!

Knobs.

I’m having trouble syncing via MIDI. Anybody had any luck doing this?

what’s the problem?

know what diameter / kinda shaft the Swarm pots have?

I wanna get some o these for it but there’s a few different diameters available…

When sending clock it doesn’t receive it (or start and stop the sequencer)

Mine worked right out of the box since I got it months ago, never had issues with MIDI sync or triggering it through MIDI. I’m even using it right now, being triggered by the OT and with the internal Quadrantid sequencer running.

What are you using as a master for your MIDI setup?

In my case it was wrong MIDI type adapter. Swarm works with TRS-MIDI type B.

I’m using the midi adaptor supplied by Eowave and I set the ext midi clock on. I’ll try again later…

So the swarm receives sequencer start and stop over midi but it’s not in sync (and the clock pot still controls the tempo). Any suggestions?

I got these:

While I’m fiddling about with this thing, has anyone used the keystep pro to sequence it? How would I set that up with the Cv gate? (I’ve previously only used MIDI for sequencing)

what colour caps are these?

When you have an external MIDI clock the clock pot works as a divider. The synced rate is somewhere around 12 - 1 o’clock IIRC
