What clone would that be? :roll_eyes: :rofl:

Courtesy of @golddust–his loss is my gain (and my loss–my Digitone–is his!). Now how the hell do you “play” this thing…? :crazy_face:

Looks like a strawberry ice cream! Bon appetit!

With coins for sustain and slow knob wiggles, best used when not in a hurry and without any pressure to achieve.

Enjoy.

Coins are great, but may I also recommend a nice skin moisturizer for all your Soma Labs gear needs? Manly, yes, but I like it too.

Moisturizer is going to get your nice equipment greasy. I don’t have any Soma Labs gear, but I have a Microfreak, and I rinse my hands in hot water and dry them briefly before playing it, which seems to work with the capacitive keyboard.

That’s why I go with the non-greasy and recommend it. A non-greasy moisturizer will also reduce the amount of natural skin oil that you get on your gear. Not using a moisturizer will actually get your equipment more greasy.

This arrived today:

Intention: Put it on everything :slight_smile:

First I will connect it to the stereo out of my submixer and try out every synth and drum machine that I own… and then I will decide what the best use it.

Still needs to warm up to room temperature though. Waiting sucks!

I maybe just bought 3 strymons, iridium, big sky, timeline. And the moto ultra lite mk5. And a pedalboard. And maybe also a microcosm. And finally a lyra8.

I sorta broke my rule for buying gear in 2021. I picked up this BIM in a trade, but after buying a piece of gear I had no intention of using. Anyway, that’s neither here nor there.

I’m not counting this one on the synth gear category. Found this minty PMD-430 on eBay by pure chance. It took a detour on its way to me, but all is good. It even came with this blank tape. I’ve never seen one with a metal frame – heavy metal tape!
