Love to the thin, compact & small desktop units <3

For the uninitiated it is possible to do? Do you need a lot of material?
He is from hell !!! (Edit: it’s expensive in kit!)

Here’s a series of build videos. I would not attempt it with no soldering experience, but if you’ve ever soldered surface-mount parts before you should be fine.

Doubt anyone missed them … but for completeness, adding lemondrop and fireball to this compilation

I am obsessed with compact devices too. For example the tanzmaus, which I ended up selling because it requires a mixer, or full dominion of an OT.

Btw - people dis the Tetra UI but it works great with OT’s midi-learn. Actually it pairs phenomenonally with the OT… as do many things I guess.

HOW IS THERE NO NORNS SHEILD?!

also Samples / Cycles totally fits here too

My desktop unit is 6mm in height, has a touchscreen interface, is loaded with over 120+ soft synths to run alongside other gear (FM, Additive, Subtractive, Sample Based, and others), has 200+ onboard FX in all imaginable varieties to affect other gears signal in real time or post recording, has multiple samplers, loopers, 50+ drum machines, can create and run midi files, run Euclidian and similar midi generators and sequencers, can record, arrange, and edit the audio, can transfer audio stems to my DAW and other gear, sync my Gear with my DAW and other hardware, browse the Elektronauts forum, play Spotify/SoundCloud/Bandcamp and other music services for inspiration, runs on battery or mains power, and can look up dinner recipes when I need a break from synthesizing among other tasks.

Didn’t see op-z get a mention which is a nice pair with MM2. Proper portable.

Looking forward to that green module to tidy it all up…
