The Whimsical Raps site is still listing it as available to buy.

#332

Still available on the whimsical site and control voltage. I think itā€™s great when these small module makers sell out - it means that people are interested in what theyā€™re doing. Sure, itā€™s annoying when you have to wait for things in the modern age of fast food/shipping/etc, but these are very small operations and human beings working very hard.

Thanks for talking me down off the ledge. I apologize. I think i have been consciously NOT tracking with the GAS every little thing but the size and WHAT it does it basically perfect for what i am doing/working on. I just usually shop through control and already they were all gone there, i guess i should have expected it but i had not even heard about it which i guess is part of the mannequins mystique too.

I have to say i did sell my three sisters in favor of the twinpeak filter but the mangrove, the just friends and the cold mac along with a modcan LFO and a Control forge bascially IS my system

sorry for being dickish

I was wondering if I was entering ā€˜CUEā€™ modeā€¦? I get LIVE and REC but I donā€™t really understand what CUE mode is. Have you figured that out?

#336

Iā€™m slowly getting to grips with it. Iā€™ve been stuck several times but eventually figured out whatever was confusing me!

I have had at least three freezes. Unless there is a mode in which the W/ does not respond to any button press.

#337

It allows you to jump around the Cue marks and audition the audio/loops there. That much works for me.

The manual talks about ā€œmovingā€ to new locations. But, I donā€™t understand if the audio or just the Cue marks are moved - if anything is moved at allā€¦

#338

got mine from control today.

wow, the tutorial that happens when you boot the module for the first time is totally brilliant.

I keep hearing about this startup tutorial - canā€™t wait to go through it when mine arrives later today! Is this a first in the euro/modular world? A ā€œuser onboardingā€ experience driven by the module itself?

it seems that way, yes!

unfortunately, now that the tutorial is over iā€™m completely lostā€¦ but i expected to be. if you reboot holding L + R itā€™s supposed to load the tutorial again, but mine isnā€™t. maybe i wrote over itā€¦ i think iā€™m on my ownā€¦

#341

Ha - USPS literally dropped the package off as I was typing my reply. Excited/nervous/confused all at once with this little thing.

I found I had to hit Loop to get the tutorial to restart (after using L+R on Boot)

But now Iā€™m stuck half-way through. Izzy keeps asking me to hit Record to Overdub - which I did - and it worked - but they donā€™t move on. :frowning:

Now I seem to be stuck in Silent Izzy modeā€¦ even with a rebootā€¦

EDIT: a few reboots later, theyā€™re working again. Perseverance! So, playing the Tutorial again, I think CUE mode is for auditioning and moving the Cue marks. So you can set up a loop and then move that loop to another position on the tape. The contents of the tape donā€™t move - just the loop position.

Does anyone know if @Galapagoose has started shipping or is it just Control so far?

#345

this thing is very cool so far. iā€™ve got an addac 101 plugged into the IN and just sort of flipping through sounds while i record into the W/ creating overdubbed layers of weirdness. mildly grasping the record/play/loop features. .but i think iā€™ll find IZZY again (thanks for the LOOP tip above to get her going again)

yesterday, someone above said they ordered direct and got shipping confirmation.

i ordered a w// bundle direct but havenā€™t heard anything yet. Eagerly but patiently awaiting that email confirmation :slight_smile:

Hello! Thanks for all the positive feedback- this launch has far exceeded our expectations (which I thought were already high), so weā€™ve been cornered between building & shipping & making more.

Some quick responses:

  • There are already basic i2c commands built in for TT - Iā€™ll post an interim teletype firmware on monday.
  • At present, slashes just makes things tidier. The inter-W/ communication is yet to be designed.
  • The hardware is capable of more than it presently does. The 1.0 firmware we shipped is the minimal complete set of functionality. A few substantial features will appear in coming months.
  • IN and OUT are AC coupled.
  • It is possible to clear a whole tape. Will add documentation for this shortly.
  • uSD card is 4GB. The audio is not wave files & you canā€™t access it w/ a computer.
  • Recordings are 24b@48kHz.

There are certainly some bugs hiding in the firmware, thatā€™s the difference between 5 people testing it and 500 people actually using it. If you do find bugs, you can report them here, and pretty please follow our bug reporting outline. Weā€™re planning an initial bugfix firmware update for Weds 21st to handle any teething problems that arise. The update process uses Olivierā€™s audio bootloader, and should be painless.

We started shipping direct orders yesterday, and should have all the initial orders shipped by Wednesday 21st.

Stuck in the exact same position after launching Izzy again. Did you get out of this somehow?

#349

I rebooted several times - each time I tried pressing L, P or Rā€¦ and after 5 or 6 reboots, Izzy came back - mid tutorial!

Shoot - been stuck in the tutorial over probably 20 reboots. I seem to consistently get stuck near the end, when Izzy asks me switch back to Live mode while auditioning. No matter what I try, I canā€™t seem to advance. Has anyone experienced something similar? Might be user error, but Iā€™ve gotten through the tutorial once or twice before, soā€¦count me counfused.

EDIT : Got through the tutorial in the end! Letā€™s chalk it up to user error.

#351

Are you able to switch to a different tape? Maybe switch, play around a bit and then switch back to the Izzy tape. (Make a mental note of which tape is lit before you change!)
