although it is the ds2 order. even if that says its a theremin

same here.

good to know, was beginning to wonder if i was going to end up with a third theremin

You'd have a theremin for each hand and one for your... erm... foot!

You could be the first person to specialize in 3-part harmonies on theremin.

Just got my DS-2 email a minute or two ago, ordered.

arrived.

edit : i think i'd describe this as 'rather nicely thought out' in terms of the complete package. Not only does it come with the requisite batteries, but it includes 7x 3.5mm patch cables, including a stereo cable, 4 patch cables, a 2-to-1 splitter cable, and a cable with an inline volume control...

Oh, and looks like they've announced the second one in the range... dual filter box...

nice! great as a starter pack recommendation then!

ive got some tracking info, from parcel force, no email from a company to say anything is despatched...
but the from address sounds like some medical business? eurologistics??
don't remember the theremin coming from anywhere like that?

cool thanks

those grill like structures at the end, are they to connect to the other units?
reading about the new filter, it's pretty wide ranging and has a few useful modulators too, and a pt delay!!!

Yup, they slot together. There's a little plastic clip in the DS box for holding them together.

Yup I signed up straight away too.

Today I wiped out my Long & McQuade in-house financing monthly payments for the Bose L1 Pro32 Line Array and Sub2, so I can start focusing on saving up funds for the Steampipe and its respective Mogami Overdrive cable mentioned earlier in the beginning of this thread.

I'm feeling like a second rate citizen with everyone receiving their DS-2. I have gotten no updates since the morning of 16th when I placed my order. And I was in the pre-order list since it was first announced. But I guess I'll give it a few more days.

I'm supposed to be saving money for a new computer, but I saw a transparent Arturia Microbrute Red on eBay today, and I just couldn't resist!

The new computer will have to wait just a little longer.

Not even a 'confirmation' the order was received? You might want to contact them. They did say ships (typically) in 5-7 days.

Just an update, I ordered a Hieroglyphic ‘plume’ back on the 6th of January from analogue haven and since the 8th it has been on a special delay because of the fires in the LA area. So, I don’t know when, or if I’ll get it but Shawn has been nice and is doing some form of tracking investigation. After I get this rack done I’ m probably not getting anything else this year.

I bought this drum kit for my friend's 10 year-old daughter to learn to play on ...

It's in near mint condition and came with a book on drumming (only cost £50).
