Whimsical Raps Atrium

Been loving mine, it’s cover experimental territory quite well although almost in the opposite way of something like a destiny+ device. It also covers some general poly duties if you like… definitely can have some BoC vibes.

A little brief demo of it controlled externally doing some poly things

I’m in the UK and would love to buy this. What are the chances they get a Euro / UK distributor?

Unlikely according to discussion with the creators over at Lines (to which I can’t currently find a link, sorry).

Cheers - yeah, was kinda thinking it would be a long shot. The next question is - what can I sell to pay for the postage and customs from the US?

Someone on Lines outlined how much they ended up paying for both to the UK here. Good luck!

Excitement: Yay, it’s coming!!

I’m must have been super lucky. UPS left it on the terrasse while I was away. At first I was mad at them then I realized I didn’t pay fees…

You might have lucked out, but be aware that most carriers will usually send a bill later in the mail. I’ve never had one collect at time of delivery.

I always paid at delivery. But you’re right, this might not be the end of the story…

Best demo I’ve seen yet! What fx are you running it through?

It running through the OPXY verb a couple other sounds happening front the XY also like some filtered noise that sounds a bit like steam and those little pad swells… the atrium is rotating through its different synth types with every new note at the start which can be a pretty cool effect, and then it also is rotating through multiple scale settings as it plays so it kind of filters what notes get in from the sequencer.
