isms parts are nearly all here. we have tested working built units.

if you haven’t check out the new (as of dec 1) video and manual at http://monome.org/isms

shipping begins tuesday the 15th. we expect to ship all pre-orders in one day (unless a ton more orders roll in).

thank you to everyone who pre-ordered. this really helped make the project happen.

tomorrow the pre-order will end-- pricing will go up to $1280. if you’d like to reserve an isms, head over to http://monome.org/isms and thanks.

E x c i t e m e n t !

yeah… looks like it will be a very playable instrument.

a huge build day, but waiting for the spring reverb tanks to arrive-- UPS says any minute. but this means we’re going to miss the ship cutoff, so these will be going out first thing tomorrow. thank you for your patience all!

i only got distracted once today playing while testing-- takes much willpower indeed.

yes, medium spring tank is included.

Damn. This could have make me change my mind on the last day of preorder.
I thought it was supposed to be used with an external tank.

I really think this is unclear in the Isms description page.

#14

it is used with an external tank. they just include a medium one.

The piece of packing foam that comes in reverb tank is great as a spring damper. Maybe don’t throw it in the thrash while unpacking like I did.

Loving Isms, it seems greater than the sum of it’s parts. I’m feeling more focused already. Thank you Monome and Mannequins!

two cold macs … nice. i considered getting a second so one can handle audio and the other can handle cv exclusively.

I kept running into reasons for wanting a second, then I found one used, couldn’t resist.

My isms came on friday, it’s a busy time of year so I’ve not gotten as much time as I’d have liked with it. This is my first time w/ modular so I don’t exactly have a reference point for how much I like it, except that I really really like it.

Thank you monome and mannequins for the hard work on these

Busy times indeed. Today I was finally able to set some time aside to mount the modules while our daughter set up the tree… Had a first test test ride later this evening, finally being able to do the TT studies for real. What can I say – wow! First time Eurorack feels like a self-contained instrument to me. Thanks to Monome and Mannequins for creating this!

Please pardon the kitschy pic, couldn’t resist. Happy holiday season to everyone!

Can you do a rundown of the modules you’ve got loaded up? I can pick out most of them, but my olde eyes suffer so when I squint. :smile:
