After the last newsletter I was hoping there would be some more teasers, but I guess the newsletter (pics) were the teaser.

Ballsā€¦

Oh, so thereā€™s a newsletter? I would be interested in those picsā€¦

Itā€™s worth getting on the newsletter. Itā€™s just a once-a-month thing. Hereā€™s the pic from the most recent newsletter.

circles ā€” weā€™ve been making a lot of round objects out of brass, aluminum, glass, mylar, paper, acrylic: by cutting, milling, lasering, waterjetting, printing, visualizing. perfecting a mechanical object requires patience and sometimes unreasonable optimism that something could (hence should) be better. soon there will be an instrument.

Thank you for the beautiful and encouraging picture!

Eventually I found the button an subscribed - I automatically uncheck all newsletter boxes that come across as they mostly just link to some site to sell me fancy polo shirts or ableton pluginsā€¦but fancy circles are great.:heart_eyes:

update!

i thought i learned my lesson, about announcing ship dates. producing a eurorack module is a incredibly predictable endeavor. designing weird mechanical devices is hilariously less predictable.

the good news is that the prototype components after a few tuning rounds feel great. by tuning i mean change dimensions by 0.001" at a time. the mechanics underwent a substantial change after a sudden electronic redesign-- iā€™ve switched from magnetic detection back to optical.

so, mid june was mistakenly optimistic-- my aim is to perfect this device, and not redesign it again.

iā€™ll announce a ship date when i have component completion promises. in the meantime, iā€™ll be able to share developments soon. perhaps some details about the eurorack module and new applications.

Canā€™t wait!
Even though Iā€™m not a big euro guy, Iā€™m really looking forward to seeing what the interface will be, as the euro monome mappings are all really slick and creative.

Checking here every few hours for the exciting post that will reveal the functionality of the module.

More than perfectā€¦

totally getting 4 of these to have a 4x4 grid of arc knobsā€¦ just to stare at while i eat breakfast!!! seriously.

#112

Wow, that looks great. Struck by how much thinner it is compared to the previous version.

#113

Looks lovelyā€¦when will you be able to share details of the associated eurorack module? Can you tell us when arc and module will be available?

#114

these would be a perfect interface to digitalize Peter Blasserā€™s "nob"bing new incarnation of instruments
peter has crammed a lot of communicable information into a single Nob in the analog realm surely this could be done in max

I never had ideas for how I wold use the Arc before but Iā€™m not anticipating its release

Wow, just wow!

The balance and ā€œweightā€ between the top and bottom is gorgeous. As is the size and length of the (new?) LED cutouts.

This really looks awesome. When are we going to see it perform?
