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

[foosnark]

I've been working on a PLL patch in Serge land and have had some success but only over small ranges. It's just such fertile ground for weirdness. I may just have to build a 4046 module of my own.

One of my proudest modular nerd moments was successfully getting a PLL patch to work with just a regular linear VCA as the phase comparator, any analog VCO, and no slew/filter. Over a very limited range of course A bipolar VCA works better, and for some reason binary XOR still seems to work the best for me.

The joy of the Synchrodyne is in completely f**king up in the best possible ways but still kind of staying related to the VCO. And really, it'd be a dirty filter even if the PLL was 100% perfect.

And has not been stung yet.

its in black n white, so it must be good

Those do look fun, maybe I will have to reconsider getting one.
btw: have you considered sock puppets? I think that would be cool, on one hand at least.

i have kind of, not necessarily on synths, but some of my more weird video bits
but i could combine the two of course! i should stop being so lazy and make some creepy ass sock puppets

re the pest (and the beast really) aside from what im doing here, just look at all the onboard bits (modules) you get for such a tiny price a great way to add a couple of useful bits to any system imo.
also, surpisingly well built and sturdy, by which i mean, for this price, id have expected a more flimsy case for sure, or scratchy cheap feeling knobs maybe, sticking buttons. but they are definitely not cheap in that sense

Cool, that was a concern of mine for the low price. One of the sliders on the Blastbeats is already
degrading to where I might have to replace it. It's probably more due to the slider manufacturing
than the synth itself, still that irks me a bit that he didn't use better ones.

[vurt]

well these id be happy with, on any price synth, for feel. the filter/fold knob is smooth as butter

i wish they were paying me or i could find something bad to say about them, but if theyd released them around 4 or 500, id have bought it and been happy, and thats so far! only using them solo.
once i start intergrating them in to the whole, im sure ill be even happier

sucks about the blast beats though.
i had been thinking about one of those as it does sound bloody awesome! ill have to have a look if this is a regular issue, dont fancy spending that kind of money on something that may even disappoint me a little.

The Blastbeats build quality is great beyond that one slider. The rest are nice and tight. It's on the
kick drum attack parameter, one that I don't use a lot so hopefully it's just a fluke. It still works
currently but yeah, I've not had similar trouble with any other sliders on any other synths or modules, and I have a fair number that use them.

I haven't contacted him about it either, no doubt he would fix it. I only need send it back to him
in friggen france.

yeah thats a bit of a pain from hawaii
bad enough from here!

If the buttons are a mix of mint imperials and minstrels then I’ll get one.
