Do you have a punch-in tool or solder?

Solder. We have the punch-in tools at work, but I decided to try the masochistic way.

Considering what it can do, most of the parameters are right in front of you with the Hydra. I've got a desktop as well, which I leaned towards for the cv inputs and having all eight knobs on the face. I do think that the explorer might have been a better option for the polyphonic after-touch keybo...

Nice. I'm seeing a Drumbrute Impact in my future. Oh man, it's a whole heap of fun. The Random knob is brilliant. Cool. There's one on TM at the moment I have a sneaky eye on. I'm trying to get my head around syncing and how that would work between the brute and beats. Seems like midi is the way ra...

I'm going to be expanding the modular over time too. The one thing I'm not sure about at the moment is the Hydrasynth. It sounds brilliant, but is a little bit too menu-divey for me.

IMG_1372.jpeg Ok… getting a bit out of control now. Out of shot is an Arturia drum machine, a couple of pedals, and a small Eurorack Modular rack. Oof! That Hydrasynth looks like fun. It just arrived today, so I’ve only had a short fiddle with it- sounds great so far though! I’ve been wanting to ad...

IMG_1338.jpeg Need a better desk to set this all up at. I whipped this up out of some old shelves today, but I need more space! And a better way of organising the cablefest. I’m not 100% sure that having the keyboard is a good idea, or even necessary. Nice. What are thingamybobs on the desk used fo...

In terms of pure fun / chaotic / accidental things, the Make Noise Strega you say you have on order smashes the 0-Coast. I super love my Strega, and couldn't be without it. Yeah for sure- that one has me the most excited. 0-Coast will be fun though- I’ve got a number of different ways to drive it, ...

Super excited to start making weird noises!

I guess in your line of business, its all tax deductible, too!?!

Yep. It’s quite handy!

Funny thing with synths - I see something like that Ben, no idea what it is or does, but it looks cool and now I want one! I bought this one because I’m really into the random/chaotic/accidental stuff that can come from modular synthesis, and also really interested in additive synthesis, and the Bu...
