Fuck UniFi and their apparent inability to choose a consistent PoE standard. Trying to install a couple of UniFi 6 Lites, and I’ve turned up with (UniFi) 24V injectors when it seems I need 48V. My fault, but I got these injectors with the last batch of APs I bought so I thought they’d be reasonably current! (No pun intended)

Went to the shop for bread and milk. Had to pass the pub on the way. Got distracted.

You know you’re old when you parked outside a gig and you’re thinking “if it gets a bit much, I can go outside and rest in the car for a bit”

Sad to see that some of the tiresome parody accounts about British politics are making their way to Mastodon. Not sure what I expected to happen, but I guess it was nice to have a break from them for a while.

But if the accounts posting as The Irish Border or The Good Friday Agreement show up, I won’t be held accountable for my reactions.

No *you’re* a little too excited about ordering a couple of Sophie Ellis-Bextor records.

My 10yo daughter had “free play” during PE last week, so she asked the teacher for some equipment to host a seance. Apparently she thought that summoning demons was good exercise.

Was listening to the latest episode of mylarmelodies’ Why We Bleep podcast, in which Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith talked about making bad music as well as good music (I’m paraphrasing what she said and butchering it to boot, I’m sure).

I was connecting the MiniBrute to the RackBrute and thought I’d just have 5 minutes of making bad music. I figured I might as well put a few seconds of bad music online while I was at it: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMF5ycw59/

@Summerray Mastodon needs a repost of the Toys R Us song.

Not sure there’s any comedy as good as #WhatWeDoInTheShadows these days. Even the detail they put into the title sequence is phenomenal.

I need a Nadja doll. Something decorative will do, but actually alive would be preferable.

Looks like Metatext applied my visibility selection to every post. I thought I did the first as Global, the middle as Unlisted, and the last as Global. That must have just applied the last setting to all the posts. Sorry!

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.
