i also have another ptdelay coming from tonal axis modular on etsy
a guy i watch on youtube has it, it sounds great and there was money off
delay + offer = purchase
also, rich, the guy behind tonal axis modular is a nice guy

So yes I’m saving for a house, but… pay day evening found me on the Andertons used site and…
Ordered an effectively half price Polyend Tracker Mini.
I needed something I can play anywhere especially if there’s a possibility my kit may have to go into storage for some amount of time if anything goes tits up (been reading horror stories about people buying “chain free” homes and then having to wait well over a year to move in).

I made the mistake of watching Oscillator Sink's video on the Lorre-Mill Double Knot V3 and now I want one.
It's really not practical, I don't have room for another desktop thingy, and given how I'm likely to use it, outside what I'm willing to spend.
So now I'm thinking about shift registers in Eurorack -- the more open-ended ones where you can patch it however. Holocene Electronics SIPO looks promising but I'm waiting to hear back what the maximum clock rate is. Half the fun of a shift register is making LFSR noise

I have a few eurorack shift registers and my favorites are the Amnis from Ritual Electronics, Shift Core Register from Synth Fox and Cascading Register from Omiindustriies. Probably the closes to what your after is the Amnis. The Shift Core Register is more like a combination between Zorlon Canon and Turing Machine. The Cascading Register isn't really an open loop, because the data input is always XOR'd with the three of the outputs, but the different variable level DAC outputs are really cool.
The Double knot is a heck of a fun box. It sounds so sharp and precise. I tend to approach it more like the Ciat-lonbarde stuff, where I'm not necessarily thinking about what the patch points do. But you can patch it deliberately and get predictable (or predictably chaotic ) patches, unlike some of the C-L stuff IME.

Yeah, Amnis does seem like an interesting one, with the 3 R2R outputs plus a slewed one, and an TM expander header on the back -- I hear it's good with Mystic Circuits Leaves. I've read that the max audio rate clock that it'll take is 2khz, unless you remove a capacitor used for the adjustable trigger delay.
SIPO is cheaper; it only has the one R2R output but does have data/clear buttons on the front panel which seems nice to have.
Gieskes has one very much in the same vein, but the only extra thing it has is adjustable/CVable levels for all the gate outputs.

Bit pricy but https://www.fancysynthesis.net/rung-div ... rigs-gates looks to do a lot.
I went with NLC 8-bit cipher which is more DIY/wallet friendly

I ordered a 3U desktop wood rack to replace my 2U one. The new one is 12 inches deep and has smooth edges.

I've decided to go for a Schlappi Nibbler instead. Only 4 bits, but it's way more flexible... seems like it'll be fun to experiment with but also easy to do stuff like clock divisions, Euclidean etc. To do the Double Knot thing requires two shift registers, but I might use Bitwig Grid for that.
I'm setting my Planar aside to make room. I haven't used it in a while because I tend to stick to Sweet Sixteen and the expression pedals. I honestly never remember the steps to recording motion with it even though it's not that complicated. But I'm trying to use Gliss a bit more since it's so much fun to just quickly gesture a modulation loop with it, and redo it on the fly.
