Cool ideas at this company but I wish that the build quality were better for the price, or just better.

Appearance is not so attractive to me and it’s quite expensive, but I’m very impressed by the sound. There’s a lot going on here. I wonder how it sounds if you treat it as a mone device and loop the signal from the first output back into the second input.

I really like the thick rings they’ve put around each patch point, some knobs, etc.

Reminds me that designing modular still has a lot of potential for new/fun/exciting ideas.

I’m so hype for this one. Sounds like a portable Destiny+ entanglement space. First time I ever preordered something. I’ve always loved Herbs & Stones aesthetic but wasn’t into the sound of anything else. I can’t WAIT to get mine!

Totally relishing these shares. I can hear the same kinds of movement that excited me from the demos in these patches, and enjoy hearing some of the characteristic sounds of the machine. Hotly awaiting mine via Detroit Modular. Have already designed a performance score around one of the settings!
