Just talking about Ansible Kria (+ a grid): it can do/be so many things. I like structured tracks/“simple” sequencing where all tracks have the same length and run in sync and after the work done by @csboling that use case is now fully supported (more details in this thread Ansible Development and Beta Firmware Discussion).
Of course it was already awesome for poly* rythms.
Also the grid, even though it’s an additional device, makes editing sequences so much more direct.
All in all, if you’re already feeling like doing something else than pure random it seems like a good fit. You can go from 100% random, to poly* rythms, to four patterns that all run in sync.

Also, I noticed a monsoon in your rack. How are you liking it?
Did you try any other Clouds variants (original, microcell, etc)?

Thanks for your thoughts!

I L O V E I T… I’ve tried the original and uBurst and monsoon blows them both away… Be sure to grab the parasites firmware, there is a good cheat sheet available for monsoon. I typically use it in delay mode, it’s very playable and the LEDs on the sliders show which direction the CV is heading… Just a great effect / form factor / interface… I own two of them actually, the other is in my 62hp palette case.

A techno system I’ve been jamming on lately… So far I’m only using Marbles for sequencing but I’m going to swap out Warps for Mutant Brain so I can sequence from the digitone too… should open up a lot more possibilities.

Do you have a source for this? Sounds worth holding out for, maybe.

i emailed intellijel support earlier this week, and they verified both of these claims: 4u 104hp discontinued, bigger palettes incoming. they didn’t elaborate on size of upcoming palettes.

This was the setup I used for my performance/recording at The Tank as part of The Yes & (my duo with Anne Leilehua Lanzilotti on viola, morfbeats instruments, and Hawaiian percussion).

In that group I live sample her improvisations as a primary sound source and work from there.

Not quite 104HP because I rack in 19” roadcases for easier flying etc. Nothing too crazy or obscure in this but I’d be happy to talk about it if anyone has questions.

This is awesome! Any recordings of this setup?

What case are you using? I’ve been considering a small case with a 1u (PL) row, although if Intellijel are going to make larger Palette cases, then maybe I might veer away from the PL idea.

It’s a 4u RoadReady case with a Pulp Logic frame in it. Let me see if I have a photo handy…

Oh and here’s the exact rig at soundcheck for the show.

I really love the variety of Pulp Logic stuff – so many options and useful things. So I tend to stick with him instead of IJ stuff in Tile.

Yeah, their system seems way more varied for sure. I’ve been considering building a diy 4u case out of wood and their rails to basically make myself somewhat of a diy isms case.

I’ve done that as well! Ok, I used cardboard instead of wood. And it wasn’t really like isms (it was an input/output utility box) :slight_smile: But the rails arrived and everything was great.

@PacificNorthWes this is the “double wide” version: 2 4u frames in a 4u RoadReady box. This is exactly the right size to fit in the overhead compartment (must not be behind the latch, so all the way to left or right of the compartment).

Thanks! I’m working on it :slight_smile:

I’m working as the “electronics assistant” for a bunch of composers writing pieces for double bass & electronics right now - would love to hear more about this performance!

I’d like to play the pieces they’re writing haha!

I have a bunch of things for double bass + modular, a series of etudes for electroacoustic performance. A little off-topic here though. Maybe we should take it to electroacoustic topic or messages. :slight_smile:

Just getting to know Just Friends in its simplest form :slight_smile: . Already getting totally lost in beauty… Staying with this focus case for a while, dedicated to swelling chords.

hows that elektrofon module?

#603

It’s really great. Does a pretty simple job but in a very good way! Easy to set up sets of chord CV and step through them. Feels great to use.

You use the four colored knobs to set the notes, assuming oscillators are tuned to middle C (has built in tuning function). Then hit + to add next chord, or - to delete. Everything is saved continuously, so powers on where you left it.

Focusing things in a 104hp make noise skiff. This was my first eurorack case, went through a couple in order to just get back here. Funny how that works…
