It took quite a few evening and weekend sessions in between family commitments, but my first proper @synthdiy build is done. A Music Thing Modular Turing Machine. Had a setback when I had to take the front panel back off in order to calibrate, as I didn’t have a screwdriver slim or long enough to get through the hole to the trimmer. All good in the end though.

@mo do you want to buy any of my modular synth bits?

@iain no. Yes. No. I mustn’t. What do you have? No I shouldn’t. Shut up and take my money!

@mo you can buy this one here, this one here, this one here, everything’s for sale <guitar riff>

@iain would be interested in the 3 Mutable Instruments modules. (If Pamela didn’t have a Pro workout, I’d have considered it too.) Got a figure in mind for the 3 MIs?

@mo £550?

Re Pam: dammnit matthew, stop upgrading things.

@iain go on then. You about town at all before Christmas? Would be happy to wait to the new year though. No rush on my part.

@mo I can be, be at the dinner on monday night or could come in Tuesday if that suits

@iain I’ll be in the office on Tuesday. I’m in Adelaide St these days so most of the city centre is feasible to meet.

@mo sweet, sounds good, shouldn't be an issue assuming kids aren't sick. Will message you somewhere when I know for sure and we can arrange details

@iain nice. Look forward to seeing you in person again!

@mo indeed, has been a while... twilight sad gig maybe?

@iain were you at NIDevConf the next day? I remember bringing you a Novation LaunchPad at an NIDevConf, but can’t remember if it was that one or not.

@mo oh yeah, I must've been, cos that's sitting on my desk. Didn't remember it was the next day

@iain I feel like it’s something we might have talked about the night before and hastily arranged.

@iain still okay for tomorrow? I’ll be in the office from 7:30 to about 3:45. Have one unmissable meeting from 11-12.

@iain okay with bank transfer? I can do that when we meet or beforehand. Won’t suggest sending details via DM here 😉

@mo @synthdiy I'm very close to adding one of these to my build list! Congrats!

@yougenius @synthdiy the build instructions are pretty good, and I watched along with Mylar Melodies as he did a live stream of a build on YouTube. youtu.be/aiX8HkX2bxg

@mo @synthdiy love the Turing Machine. The Pulses expander is a great intro to SMD when you feel brave enough to give it a go FWIW.

@Exit_Chamber @synthdiy hehe, I’m just waiting for Pulses, Volts and Voltages to arrive in the post 🙂

@mo @synthdiy excellent! I've got a pair of volts and a pulses for mine. I keep looking at the Worng Vactrol Mix expander, it looks really cool too.

@mo @synthdiy that's a great first project. And a really interesting module.

@mo @synthdiy looks great! I ordered the Turing from Thonk a few weeks back. It’s taking it’s sweet time to make it to San Francisco though. Will be my first build.

@mo @synthdiy Sadly it's been well over a month now and no sign of the Turing. Considering it MIA :(

@pw @synthdiy that’s such a shame. I’ve placed a couple of orders with Thonk recently and they’ve all been dispatched quickly. I can only assume it’s the transit to the US that was where the issues lie.

@mo @synthdiy happy to report the kit finally turned up! Got a fun weekend ahead!
