Did this modular jam a couple of days ago. Rough around the edges, but testing out how well the Erica Synth Black Sequencer was for live jamming

What stand do you use for the syntakt?

DIY 3d printed stands, in the background you see another pair in red with a different design.

While we are at it. Here’s a 24 minute dub techno improvisation that started out of nowhere.

No actual video of me performing so I added a some misty, foggy forest footage for your stressed out minds to rest.

Syntakt × TR8s

Enjoy!

Thank you :slight_smile:

I almost bought a dfam few days ago but when the prices went up…, I decided to look for a eurorackable module/synth for techno riffs and I was very interested in Eowave Quandrantid Swarm.
What are your reviews, what about build quality? In most videos it sounds harsh, can it be soft? :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m not gonna lie, the build quality is prett bad. Wobbly knobs, plasticky, generally a bit flimsy feeling.

I didn’t do a lot of soft stuff with it when I had one, but I see no reason why it can’t, it’s got two filters, so should be easy enough to soften the edges.

I found it felt cheap and I never figured out how to keep it in tune. But it sounds unique.

People complain about the wobbly knobs, which they surely are. But my pro synth repair shop friend tells me those pots are actually more durable then stiff ones because the wiggle is already built in. Stiff ones will develop it overtime, with more failures.

Also, QS is a shit ton of fun!
