For shame

I've been battling the idea of a row of red BugBrand but I'd also like another row of blue too

Yeah, me too. Basically I want a weevil/chirper row. I'll just have to see how the possibility of that pans out financially though.

chirper arrived, met my new postman, who i know, he was married to my cinema buddies mum before she passed away, my bud now lives with my postman.
small town life.

Found a good deal on a Xaoc Devices Odessa and Hel bundle on eBay so I grabbed those and then rounded this out with some other Xaoc modules; Koszalin to replace my Ruina Versio as I have lots of good distortion options already and Batumi/Poti II to replace their v1 counterparts, for expanded audio rate capabilities including 1v/oct tracking , the new random assignable waveforms and extra control via the updated expander. This concludes my splurging for the year (I hope) and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in proper while I'm off work over Christmas

Odessa and Koszalin are both great, and they work well together

Those are both of great interest to me as well... I really love their 'classic' black and white aesthetic though:

Thank your for validating my spending spree

this year has been Pro-800, ProVSmini, volca Drum, Roland P-6, and a little 10x stereo mixer from aliexpress. and a delay pedal from aliexpress.

Not much a Barp Blue marvin 2600 and a K2 mk1 unbelievable £114 brand new. Seem really good connected to my Matrixbrute. This is the first time i have had anything to connect to. So very much learning it will make the winter nights go faster

Just bought a behringer pro 800 again.
I had 2 and i loved the sound but i wasn't so happy with how it behaved in mono mode so I sold them.

Those issues are now fixed and they go for a insane low price now on thomann so it was a instant rebuy for me

The Synthesis Technology E490 ladder filter is shipped and on the way
When it's in I'll have only two spots in my case left:

The Labyrinth is back ordered and the other spot is 4 hp on the far bottom left where I have a Doepfer A-145-4V quad LFO. I am not really sure what should be in that spot though, does anyone have a suggestion for a 4hp module? Right now I'm using the Disting EX for a couple LFOs.

If you’re using the Pams PRO for modulation then maybe an offset/attenuverter module to change its voltage range (0-5v).
I have one of these and it’s very handy if you don’t have space for something like a 3xMIA

Edit: ah ok, now see you have a Sinc Pravus. Maybe a good old Doepfer A-148 then, always handy to have sample and hold.

Oh, yes! I HAD to get an offset! It will forever be right next to Pam with all the outputs in use...
After much thought I have decided on_

She convinced me

Knew about wavefolders but wavepleating is a new one on me!

the blue board chirper
saw they're retiring and he had 6 left in, figured after a move, dealing with family, i deserve a treat!!

cool. i thought seriously about that myself when i saw the email, but my wishlist is already long enough...

have only managed a quick noodle (plans of being set up by sunday, did not happen. getting there, building shelves...) but wow this thing has some range! i was getting deep dark drones one minute, tiny tweaks and it's making krell music, there's bubbles, squeaks and of course, chirps!

definitely a huge upgrade from the board weevils, the videos were great, but hands on it's a different experience. will have to find the camera for a video when i finish my shelves
