All ready to go with the Korg SQ1 sequencer. And with some space for more later. I have a Music Thing Modular Turing Machine to be built and I think it’d be perfect in this.

For some flexibility in a small space I’ve include the Disting EX. It has multiple algorithms so can be put to many uses. I included the TMB (Tiny MIDI Breakout). I probably won’t be using MIDI, but it’s not going to be useful anywhere else on its own.

Before the output, I want a filter so I’ve stuck in my Dreadbox Eudemonia. It’s got low and high pass, a VCA, and a mixer section, with CV control over lots of stuff. Also the sliders are a nice deviation from knobs everywhere.

Sticking with the audio source end of the rack I’ve decided to throw my Behringer Brains in. It’s basically a Mutable Instruments Plaits, but more affordable, and has a lot of interesting sounds available from a single module. Having it all in a single module allows for plenty of variety, especially as we can use CV control from Maths to switch between sounds as well.

Moving to the other side, I’ve included the Make Noise Maths module for some modulations.

Starting with the output, I put in my Erica Synths Pico Output. This will allow me to plug in headphones and actually hear some audio that isn’t at #eurorack level.

New module arrived today, which meant that I was able to start setting up the mini #eurorack. Will continue in the thread rather than flooding the timeline, but here’s the empty rack waiting to be filled.

Ordered myself a new external out for my #Eurorack setup. Trying to find the opportunity to experiment in the darker, colder, wetter months is hard. I’m going to build a mini rack that’s easier to tinker with of an evening, and to store when not in use. Can’t wait for the Intellijel Outs module to arrive now!

Looking forward to the point in time when the only person left over at the birdsite is #LoneSkum

Me: I’ve bought a Roland 808 clone
Wife: What are you going to do with that?
Me: I’ll probably make some electro stuff, do some old school ravey beats
…a while later…
Wife: What’s that you’re doing, it sounds familiar?
Me: Nothing!
Wife: Is that…
Me: No
Wife: Is that…
Me: NO!
Wife: It’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston, isn’t it?
Me: Yes…

I think one of the nicest aspects of Mastodon is that people are less likely to dunk on you.

Eugen’s firm stance on no quoted toots takes away one of the most performative aspects of the birdsite, and I’m very thankful for that. But even the regular interactions feel like you’re speaking to an audience who just want to find out more about everybody they meet. It’s refreshing, to say the least.

Just waiting for Elon to fire the person who renews domain names so that I can snap up twitter dot com and use it for a Mastodon instance when it lapses.

The nitech.online instance hasn’t exactly seen thousands of new users but that’s been a relief for me! It’s still great to see new tooters joining up and old tooters returning to use the instance again.
