2022: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2022)

[pekbro]

So I did actually buy the Twisted Electrons Blast Beats, was debating where to get it. Bought direct
in the end, so there will be a month wait or so sadly.

awesome!
gonna be a while before i can think seriously about it, gotta buy some slightly more necessary bits
looking at mobility scooters, and all i see is "well, guess i won't be buying any noisy shit till xmas"
suppose to see freedom and shit apparently.

thx

Bummer about needing the scooter, but look on the bright side, you can always do something like this:

wonder how much power that would take? might need to look at a more powerful battery and motor to carry that
can you imagine me buzzing round town, playing my noises at people?

this is as exciting as it gets here today...

They look exactly the same as the 2hp branded ones I have, I guess all from the same no name Chinese factory.

[vurt]

probably, same as the make noise one i got with 0 ctrl.

[WatchTheGuitar]

Maybe they grow them?

Qu-Bit Aurora was shipped this morning.

new vid:

see my previous reply, will not watch, will not watch, wil... oh ffs.

... rinse. repeat.

{tbth} I'm a bit underwhelmed. It will find its place with my other stuff, but... I look forward to the firmware mods. [2c]

A couple of mini stereo mixer modules arrived from Signal Sounds in Glasgow this afternoon. I think I miscalculated and need another 2

Doepfer Mini Stereo Mixer 138sV





They look really good and the knobs have a great feel to them.. nice 8hp modules

[WatchTheGuitar]

Nowt exciting, but useful stuff. 4 extra short arms for my Jaspers keyboard rack so I can move all the Elektron gear and MS-20 mini off my desk. That should mean I can have all three of my eurorack cases on the desk, the Behringer 280hp case, 104hp skiff and the little handmade 4u 84hp one.

As well as that, a nice little 4hp quad attenuator from Riders in the Storm

I have a similar one already and they’re really handy for taming LFOs, especially ones sent from Pam’s which avoids a load of menu diving.

All that stuff’s coming from Thomann so I expect to see it in 2024.

it's not so much im underwhelmed, more, "do i need more reverb?"
i know it has a few little extras, but im not hearing anything that's so different to what i can achieve now.
if i didn't have two springs, 2 clouds and erbe verb and nebulae, already, it might be more likely to find a space here.
as it is, i think im looking for dynamic/freq rather than time fx for the remaining spaces.

the lights are very nice though

[vurt]

that may change with the video on the usb card

they look cool.
i have some doepfer ones, but double the size, 2 on a 4 hp module, so could save some hp in an update in future i guess...

[WatchTheGuitar]

Yeah, the more the merrier with those things.
Also, I’d like some offset generators that I can use to add/remove octaves
e.g. set 2v and use Maths to pump up a v/oct up or down by 2 octaves, but there don’t seem to be any cheap skinny modules that provide multiple offsets. Anyone know of any?
Basically something like this…
https://www.thomann.de/gb/doepfer_a_183 ... erator.htm
…that loses the attenuator functions and maybe provides 3 or 4 straight voltage outputs in the same kind of form factor?
There’s an ALM module that does octave shifting, but £100 for just two outputs seems pricey.

Edit: found a couple, the WMD 4TTEN is what I asked for, the Tiptop Audio MISO is wider, but does even more including acting as a general cv mixer.

oh, for attenuation, i also use attenuator cables, from koma, 5er ish a pop, but more set and forget, but save rack space!
