Hey David. Congrats again on great work.

Is there an easy way to lighten up the grey text font a bit for these older eyes?

thanks!

Unfortunately as there are 700 individually built blocks we can't really change the contrast at this point.

Excellent update!! I feel spoiled with all of these new features and Blocks. It's also at a generous price point for new users. Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if it was user editable.

Looks interesting

The labels are user editable, you can just locate the text items individually and lighten the font, there are just a lot of blocks to adjust them all.

Fantastic.....that's what I was hoping. One or two at a time and they will all get done.....I may learn something too. Thanks.

Been a long time user of the Nano Pack, and this new update is a fantastic edition, congrats on the release! I particularly love the shift register block with modulating stages, really creative tool. Even the inclusion of a Midi monitor block is incredibly handy in the modular environment when you have a few devices connected. I also recommend using the Nano blocks to drive external synths/vsts via the comprehensive midi out options, this for me is one of the great uses of these blocks (especially as they are very CPU efficient). Keep up the great work Toybox!

This looks great! I've been looking into other modular software besides the grid but some others could potentially end up quite expensive with all the modules and bundles available. So this looks very interesting and complete for a good price, while still being able to add more later. Also helps that I’m already quite invested in the NI ecosystem. Any chance of knowing the duration of the limited offer (hopefully end of the month )?

Yes, the offer is running to the end of the month

Great, thanks

Here are some example racks built with some of the Nano Pack V2 blocks:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b2pyi3rzekdo ... r-E7a?dl=0

A brief description of each rack:

• Elektron Model Samples Control --> A rack for use with the Elektron Model:Samples (swap out the M:S blocks with M:C blocks to use this rack with the Model:Cycles).

• Geiger --> A rack that produces glitchy noise! The rack uses the '2D Chaos' block to randomly modulate the X & Y position of the 'XY Wavetable' block, then sends this through a Bit Shifter and Comb Filter for more randomness.

• Mindrothe --> An 'OTA Filter' block that is 'pinged' using the 'Exciter Envelope' block and then 'granulated' and fed back through a reverb to create a ringing feedback pad sound, which is then given a 'tape stop' effect with the 'Tape Stop' block (run the transport to hear the 'tape stop').

• Mindy --> A simple example of using the 'Seq Segment' and 'Unison Wavetable' blocks. 4 'Seq Segment' blocks are daisy-chained together using their 'NEXT' & 'RESET' ports. This chain of blocks is reset every half bar from the GATE port of the 'Ramps' block. The PITCH & GATE ports of all 4 sequencer blocks are summed together before controlling the 'Unison Wavetable' block.

• Phys Model Seq --> A sequence driven with the 'Bit Sequencer' block, this block creates an 8 step sequence based on each binary 'bit' of an 8 bit input value, this input value is set using the 'Fader' block connected to it. This sequence triggers the "Physical Modelling Synth" block, as well as triggering a 'Randomizer' block which is used to randomly modulate the synth's controls.

• Seq Seg Example --> Another example of using the 'Seq Segment' block, this one also uses the 'MOD' and 'SLIDE' controls of the block. The 'MOD' and 'SLIDE' controls are simply values sent out from their corresponding ports whenever the segment is playing (when the segment isn't playing a value of zero is sent from these ports). "Mod" & "Slide" are simply names that suggest possible uses for these ports but they are both working in exactly the same way, simply outputting values and can be connected to control anything you want.

• Trigger Effects --> This rack makes use of the 'Knob Bank' block. This block has 4 banks of 6 knobs but only displays 6 knobs at a time. The 4 banks are used to control the parameters of 4 different effects. You can also MIDI learn the 6 knobs to 6 knobs on a MIDI controller to jam with the patch. Trigger the effects using the buttons on the 'Trigger' block (you can also MIDI learn these buttons).

• Woody PD Sound --> Uses the exciter envelope to create a short sound that 'excites' the resonance of the "Comb & Notch" block.

These Sequencer Segments, in conjunction with the Sum blocks, are insane! Thanks for the examples, lovely stuff.

Looks great thanks for the heads up.
