Ooh, I like This Modular Rack...

[vurt]

and dammit i want an echophon

[whyterabbyt]

+1 ... and perhaps some 'mults', unless you don't have an aversion to spending stupid money on 'stack-able' cables.

I have a few 4HP Doepfer mults, but removed them all apart from an a-181 (1/4" jack to 2x3.5mm). I tend to stick to 0HP external mults these days.

I did think I might eventually pick up a couple of the Doepfer 2HP ones later down the line, to fill up remaining space in any rows usefully and cheaply, but ZLob VCAs and/or mixers would probably be more useful.

[vurt]

yeah im an off case for mults convert!

Any thought on Dreadbox’s Utopia?

Seems like a nice multi-tool, mixer, splitter, buffered multi, LFO and a neat “pulseriser”

I only started looking at after thinking of getting Ataxia, but it seems to be discontinued.

Ive mentioned it several times, since its a great budget system, but my NiftyCase is basically holding a set of most of the original Chromatics.
I do think that they're really nice for the money. Much more multipurpose than, say, Doepfer modules, which are similarly cheap, but more narrowly scoped and generally maybe less characterful. Chromatics are generally pretty direct to use as well, though the Ataxia is a little bit more 'modal.' Big fan.
Im surprised they're cancelling stuff in that line. Maybe there's a mark2 Ataxia coming.
But yeah, thumbs up from me on the Utopia.

369 for brand new mimeophon
550 for old, dusty, smelly second hand echophon

That's the MakeNoise hipster tax at work.

DV247 are selling the Dreadbox modules at low prices at the moment, although they aren’t actually in stock.
I’m tempted because the silly colours would complement my Blue Marvin as would the sliders.

I’m disappointed about Ataxia. It’d be a great fit, but I’ll keep an eye on the 2nd hand market or find a new option if those prices are insane.

I ordered Utopia. I got it for free… I had some cash back deals from Amazon’s credit card, and I’m not complaining.

So now of course I’m looking at Eudomonia and Dystopia. Both would are cleverly useful.

EDIT: Ordered the 3 (Utopia, Dystopia & Eudemonia)

Yeah, I’ve been watching prices and people keep buying the expensive units… so, maybe Echophon is not in my (immediate) future.

I’ll focus on Erbe-Verb. I already missed a good deal but I think there’s good chance for another.

Maybe prices will come back down for Echophon in the coming months.

[vurt]

good plan! i love a bit of erbe verb!!

im definitely not interested in echophon at these prices, it's nice but that's just piss taking.
people are arseholes.

I had avoided watching videos on Erbe-Verb because I knew I’d be interested. I was right… It’s probably something I should have bought from the beginning.

Watching videos on it is how I missed the first deal - but I was also holding out hope Echophon would be available cheaply, but that’s not what’s happening.

[vurt]

ouch, that's rough. fingers crossed another one pops up

im looking forward to getting back in there, not been in the studio since monday night stupid stomach bug messed me right up!!

I'm slowly getting back into things... First helping my brother with basic mixing concepts via zoom, then jamming with Elektron boxes.

Installing updates on hardware and software... *I seriously did not know there was updates for Mimeophon! I have to do this today.

The first Rackbrute is out for delivery and I don't know if I'll get a chance to use it, vs spending time rearranging things, but maybe by tomorrow I'll finally record some noise.
