Yeah it has the RFX card and all that. I’m upgrading the drive and stuff now.

Intentions are to use it to solve ‘the blank page problem’ when kicking off a new tune.

Those knobs look nice!
I can’t tell from the pic – are the all the same size (KN1360 from Tayda)? I’m thinking of piggybacking off your idea here!

Nearly:
16 x KN1360
3 x A-6650
I grabbed the specs from the Thonk DFAM knob kit and worked out the equivalent parts from Tayda (which came out a lot cheaper).

Thanks a ton! Did you have to get some sort of shaft adapter like the ones that Thonk includes in their kit? (Brass Pot Adapters – 6mm to 6.35mm (x20) – Thonk – DIY Synthesizer Kits & Components)
I made my own by chopping up some heat shrink I had lying around. The good thing about heat shrink is that its quite rubbery and the knobs slide on and stay in place without needing to tighten the screws. The the other option people use - plastic straws - are banned and unavailable here in Victoria, Australia.
Here are some instructions for the straw method (written before Thonk started shipping their knob kits with the brass pot adapters):

Is this like a hardware version of Omnicide?
It is not as complete and complex but the sound capabilities remain vast and sublime. (organic and warm).
It would rather be a kind of hardware decapitator from Soundtoys

Totally right !
Just ordered a Bastl Bestie, a Roland T8 and a Roland S1.
Was playing around with the last two in the store and totally blown away. Bought the Bestie to combine the lot with a Micromonsta and the Model Cycles. 
All this to have something portable besides my eurorack.

Nice! Plan on doing tricks? My best trick so far is rolling off curbs without falling off.

Soft wheels means I can ollie without killing my joints in 5 mins. The joys of being over 40.
Tricks? Nah, tricks are for kids.

gave up skateboarding when i realised i have some sort of genetic thing that means i can’t ollie. used to love just cruising around though, up and down curbs a bit, just rolling down hills in bournemouth. i miss it but fear it’s undignified now at my age (44)

I started skating at 35 late last summer. Tricks are really hard, but I ride my mini-cruiser to and from the kindergarten to deliver and pick up my girl when it’s not raining

It’s a Walker Titan SF 4x5 / 5x4 with which I’ll be using 105, 150, and 210mm lenses, though mainly the 150. It’s to replace an old MPP mk8.
Intentions: mainly location portraiture along the lines of Joel Sternfeld, though I also have a Lomograflock back which shoots Fuji Instax Wide film for instant gratification. May even get some cover artwork from it for future Bandcamp releases.
My wife said to me this morning, “I think you’ve left your camera turned on.”

I broke 6 vertebra my spine, 2 ribs, scapula and punctured a lung doing downhill (used to race in the world cup) . Still skate just for fun, cruising about mainly. My ollies suck. But fuck it. Who cares?

I’m old enough to remember Tony Hawke and the Bones Brigade on a half pipe in Perth in the late '80s as part of their Australian tour. No-one ever came to Perth. Got my crappy deck signed by Lance Mountain.
Anyway, my ollies also suck but IDGAF - it’s fun! Short of snowboarding there’s nothing quite like the feeling of carving down a smooth slab of bitumen. Skateboarding forces you to think about your urban environment in a completely different way - it’s like a mini-holiday for the brain.
