[miscellaneous post about most recent module purchase becoming ‘obsolete’, in my case Chronoblob]

Since it’s being called w/ so far and being bundled, perhaps with Just Friends, “just friends with…”. Could it be a JF expander that also expands on Teletype, a “Friends w/ Benefits” module?

except that neither a JF or TT appears in the Meng Qi vídeo :thinking::thinking::thinking:

Good point, but maybe it also works standalone, and we have had hints at there may be new things rather than just one thing…

Perhaps the bundle is for the new things?

w/ honors

w/ authority

w/ bang

Here there is mention of block processing, vector and array transformations.

Here are some defines for led pins: there seems to exist left and right instances of bottom, mid, over, top, mode, action, motor and record positions. So that’s 18 LEDs — really intriguing!

Here is some DAC related stuff — seems it will be using an Asahi AK4556, which is stereo in/out with at most 24bits 192khz. So definitely audio processing!

Here is some more i/o: there seems to be a number of buttons and 2 cv inputs.

Then, there’s this commit: «the searchers», obviously referring to us. A lot of clues!

bunch of references to SD card there

Some of the stuff in there sounds Morphagene-esque :open_mouth:

Looks like there’s a bunch of stuff referring to tape…tape mode, tape loop, etc, and of course reels. I’d love to see some kind of Mannequins take on the Morphagene approach to making “tape music” with modular!

Yes, that really sounds exciting, especially with Teletype control! And by extension, grid control too.

Maybe he’s working with Eric at Landscape.fm on an i2c enabled HC-TT?

Super excited about this!!

I thought this was a quote from the room at first

seems to also have 4 sine oscillators with an asr that routes ryhthyms and just pitches generated by the state/history of the module to each oscillator??

Trying to make sense of all these clues and can’t figure out what the hell this thing (things!?) does.

And there I was, hoping it would be 4hp

Some of these functions pop up in the bootloader; I’m assuming this is some kind of start-up melody.

come on now just take the veil off

Whimsical is probably reading these comments, feeling all smug that we can’t tell what it does.
