4MS kits are soo good. Great documentation and well labeled parts.

Found these for the right prices and couldn’t pass them up.

Tempi and Wogglebug are supposed to go in one of the Pods, but I want to try them out for now.

I also added some minor cosmetic changes by adding new black panels for PNW & mmMidi, Black knob for PNW and black knobs for Wasp. I know it shouldn’t bother me, but it did!

I just need Klavis to post their black panels. I see they’re already up as pre-orders on Juno.

{cue: gnarly old fart, voice-over} Well son, if you weren't supposed to be able to replace 'um, they'd be glued on, or the deep state would find some way to impose a fine on those who choose a path of knobswitchery.

They (Wasp knobs) felt glued on, until they popped off, hit the ceiling and then I scrambled to find each one before they became cat toys!

I finally can follow many of the MN videos!

The biggest things I won’t have, and are not on the shopping list is the 1U multi and Rene. I would love to have Rene, but I don’t want to find space for it yet. Spectraphon was hard enough to fit in.

Optomix is on the future list, but much later.

id like to upgrade to rene2 at some point, but as two was released a couple of months after i got one, im worried 3 will come if i buy 2, then im back where i was

2 does offer a lot more than 1 did though, so will happen at some point.
when i decide on a new case purchase...

holding off for now, plenty to be getting on with, don't really feel im missing much aside from still not got any distortion type bits that i was looking at...

I’m on overload at the moment.

Tentative future plans include Stages clone, Warps clone (w/Parasites installed) and Bastl’s Ikarie filter. This won’t happen until I figure out cases too.

I’m looking at having just two small boxes. 1 for guitar (that will be the eventual home of Hector) and another that will compliment Barp 2600 and the Moog semis. The guitar box needs to be bigger than the 48hp box, and I’m leaning toward 60hp, but at the same time… 60hp is not a major step up from 48hp.

although, i am looking at a trip to bristol for bristonica, which is an event put on by elevator sounds. i imagine that might cost money

hoping to at least get a play with the cylons module urs mentioned, might even find out what it is??

I keep getting alerts for it and looks like the perfect blend of music and gear! I don’t see anything like that out here. I wouldn’t go to one in NYC, but a surrounding area, I’d go for a trip.

Better order yourself a "vurt tv" t-shirt to get some free photobomber promotion!

I am new to Hw instruments and this will be my first one
I said i wanted a versatile synth and the seller recommended this:


How awesome is it to have three whole corners to play on for maximum Versatility.

I think the seller really knew what he was talking about and steered me in the right direction
