Wee bit of DIY today. Finally worked up the courage to get stuck into the Music Thing Modular Turing Machine. I was watching along with a Mylar Melodies livestream from back in March, and it was nice to feel like I was building along with him. youtu.be/aiX8HkX2bxg

@mo Really good module for beginner builders with easy calibration process.

Are you planning to add some of the extender modules after? They all look fun but I keep missing Thonk sales and/or work keeps getting in the way!

@chriszanf I have no plans to add the extender modules at this stage, but I’m pretty confident that scope creep will happen if I manage to get this build done successfully! I love the idea of building modules, but I need some confidence building first!

@chriszanf and I just got an email about Thonk deals…

@mo You've picked some good ones to start with. Thonk also have through parts kits for utilities so you can 'practice' on those without too much loss.

You'll definitely have creep! I started in mid 2020 with 6U/126HP that expanded to 18U/126HP + 15U/88HP.

Definitely lost focus & had module hunger!
