Been playing a few improv shows with just the mosstone and either a particle delay pedal or a custom max/msp delay patch.

I’d be interested to see the signal fed through a scope… anyone have this capability?
but I also had the experience of hearing noise bleed in the triangle osc (I since sold my Mosstone, but listening back to demos I made with it, it’s there)

#128

Here’s a quick and rough scope from VCV Rack (I was dumb and just recorded in the left channel but :man_shrugging:). Clean to full wavefolder and back. Then clean to full noise, then wavefolder.

I’m looking to pick up a Mosstone, which would be my first piece of banana gear. Any recs on packs of small patch cables?

#130

The Kilpatrick set is decently priced at $40, but, personally, I don’t really like the thin plastic rectangle bananas. Also, the Mosstone is pretty small, so the 18" ones would be some unnecessary spaghetti.

I think Pomonas are worth the extra ~$1.60 per cable, especially since you won’t need too many for just the Mosstone. Plus, you can pick out whatever colors/lengths you want. I bought some recently from Mouser after shopping around a bit.

#131

are you going to put those on bandcamp? :slight_smile:

they aren’t necessarily small, but they’re much more affordable and I haven’t had any issues w/ them: https://www.amazon.com/Sumnacon-Stackable-Silicone-Multimeter-Electrical/dp/B07179VF5J/

Almost certainly at least one :wink:

As a followup: I found that Control Mod have bananas. I already have an account there and I like their store, so I picked some up from them. They have both Pomona in various lengths / colors (but are currently out of stock) as well as Buchla cables (in stock!). They have 4" purples, so I nabbed five of them.

I can vouch for these cables also. Certainly not as stout as Pomona, but definitely in the al dente department if these were spaghetti.

#137

The 4" cables are just about perfect. I had borrowed some 18" leads from work and it was just a mess. These are nice and tidy. They can’t quite make the longest diagonal connections, but I could always double them up. It’s a start, as far as bananas go.

While we’re on cables, how many of what size should I get for a Double Knot?

#139

they don’t need to be long, but if you want to get particularly wonky rhythms, you’d be well served by a decent stash.

Did you end up finding a DK?

#141

I’ve estimated 10 x 4" cables and 5 x ~7". That sound about right?

I did!

not 100% on the length, but 15 cables will certainly allow for some fun times :slight_smile: I tend to overpatch things, so I might go closer to 20, but if it’s your only piece of banana equipment that’s certainly a fine starting point. You can always buy more and that’ll give you a decent foundation for playing around.

has anyone here used the cv generated by the mosstone touch keyboard to modulate an external oscillator? I can’t figure out in the manual if this is something one can feasibly accomplish (bc the banana jacks on the back are only cv inputs, yes?)

#145

Yeah CV/gate on the back is CV in. You can use a banana to jack converter if you want to send CV/gate/env etc to other non-banana gear. The stepped/«tuned» CV out from the keyboard is NOT scaled 1v/octave though. So you’ll need to attenuate it/pass it through a quantizer. The reason for this, as I understand is to make it more usefull as a modulation CV for filters etc. Also the upper and lower bar does not affect the CV out.

#146

That being said, it is quite fun to use it to sequence other gear. I’ve used it a lot with my BugBrand system👍🏻
