What's your latest purchase & what are your intentions with it? [pics ftw] (Part 1)

It looks great and everything there you need to set down and jam. :+1:

@esq I’ve built a number of Eurorack modules, and at the maker lab at work there’s a good heat gun and soldering station so I imagine I’ll be sitting there for a few day :slight_smile:

@Sureno lots of soldering. About 4000 parts, so probably 10000+ joints!

Best of luck! I have absolutely no soldering experience yet, but need to get some - I’d love to do either this or the Moogfest synth building workshop one year soon.

Keep us updated with progress pics? Would love to see it developing.

Congrats man! How do you like it so far? I saw your post about the price you got it at and wanted to get one too, but the deal was gone by then :slight_smile:

Good idea! I’ve most of the parts now, need to inventory everything. Still waiting for the pcbs and case.

Initial impressions are very positive. Haven’t A/B’d against my other converters yet, but feels very forensic, in a good way. High energy music which has been mixed well sounds very immersive so far! And ruthless to any technical issues in the recordings.

Just managed to connect this to my iPad. iOS would be a great fit for the Cello, but sadly the mixer app is not available. Basic music playback works fine though after making some monitoring changes and storing them into standalone memory, so at least I can use it in slightly crippled capacity. MIDI i/o, main audio output etc but can’t set the digital i/o’s on iOS etc

I really want to love the NerdSeq. Just can’t seem to wrap my head around the tracker thing.

I mostly sequence my eurorack with my OT, but ordered this today thinking it could provide something a bit different

I bought a [Retro Mechanical Lab Electron Fuzz Custom](http://www.rmlfx.com/?p=711) with input mods to makes noises with. I plan on doing lots of feedback into the input as I learn my way around this pedal.

The Digitech SDrum pedal arrived. Intention is to spice up practice on guitar and electric violin. Seems responsive enough, being triggered from guitar after following the calibration procedure.

The manual implies it can only do 3/4 or 4/4 time so I thought I’d test that.

I tried tapping the beat from ā€œDisciplineā€ by King Crimson, as taught by Bill Bruford in his instructional video. It’s supposedly in 17/8 or something. SDrum turned it into a Brazilian samba-like thing - not exactly like ā€œDisciplineā€ but kind of in the neighborhood.

I also tried tapping the beat on the pads for Pink Floyd’s ā€œMoneyā€ which is 7/8. It’s hard to tell, because the snare and cymbal/hat accents are not in the usual places but it seems like SDrum plays the beat in 4/4.

Most of what I practice is in 3/4 or 4/4 so it’s fine for practice, with the added fun of SDrum playing little fills and stuff on its own. I’ll probably sample it doing its thing for chopping and doing other sweet and nasty things to it in Octatrack and also PurPLL.

How is it over there on the Laundronauts forum?

People sharing tips and collaborating on new techniques or just geeking out on specs, moaning for updates, showing off pics of their laundry room and such like I hear about Washslutz?

Any news on Underwear Bridge?
They get the wrinkles out yet?
