I got a cable like that from Sam Ash.
My Sidrax seems to sustain pretty well, I dunno, maybe I just never noticed what you are talking about?
Thhhh

I have always been curious about this. For the Shnth/Sid users: how close does the barre action compare to a Shnth playing (pan (horn 64 64) (bar))? Like, how close could you get to program a minisid?

umm what case is that and does it come a lil bigger so i can fit a coco in there too
I’ve been playing heavily based IFM gigs for years now. Most of the time, I just add a benjolin, a morphagene and a looper combined with delay or reverb. I usually play around 20 minutes. Fourses are the central part of the system. Mostly set up as a feedback system. Little adjustments can lead to drastic timbre shifts. I don’t repatch during the show. Usually I have four channels on my mixer: benjolin, morphagene, fourses and a variety of ifm going into sprott

Apache 4800 at Harbor Freight. Unfortunately I think the only one they have that would be large enough to do that is the long gun case. Pelican may have an option. I keep my Coco in its own Apache 3800 case.

The Apache cases are nice. I have one for my sidrax
@wheelersounds Thank you for all these precisions and feedback. I have ordered my Sidrax so I will be able to experiment and test. Thanks to everyone !

anyone know what the two un-labled knobs do?

According to the write-up at perfect circuit: “In the middle of Peterlin are four knobs that route the Rungler and other CV signals across the instrument, and it’s here that the nuance of its chaotic nature is most clear. The top three knobs allow the Rungler to influence the left and right oscillators as well as the filter cutoff, while the bottom is filter cutoff modulation from the left oscillator. ”
So in your marked area I interpret that as being Rungler to osc 1 and rungler to filter?
I might be wrong of course…

I’ve never improvised with CL gear, but something to consider is setting up multiple patches throughout your system and running them through separate channels of a mixer to be faded in and out as you see fit. This could offer a semblance of familiarity, while leaving said patches open for improvisational organicism. Food for thought.

I’ve played bad shows, as well as great shows, using ciat gear, the worst shows were the ones that I was unprepared for, or the ones earlier in the tour. Towards the end of a 20 stop tour, I was able to hit the sweet spots with very little noodling between. Made me wish I had rehearsed more. So, rehearse!
Saw Unguent play great shows as well, once using just a sidrassi and some kind of minimal accompaniment (like a volca beat or some thing), also saw him play an hour of mobenthy, absolutely tore it up. Both times, when I asked, he attributed it to getting a patch that he really liked and really learning inside and out. A.k.a. rehearsing.
It also has to do with your energy, are you spending it trying to figure out what you are doing, or are you able to pour it into the actual performance. Again, this comes down to muscle memory being able to pull from your instruments what you need, without too much fiddling about.
My 2¢
And oh yes, whoever said to have fun, that’s a big one as well. Try to enjoy the Soundsystem, the energy of the crowd, etc.

Hello! My friend is building me the VCA box from Richard Brewsters website and has the schematic for a dual Sloth he could add to the box. Has anyone used a Sloth to modulate the Plum? I’d like to think some slow, smooth modulation would be fun with the Plumm… any experience out there?

Was just thinking about the obvious succes of the Peterlin and how a smart priced interesting device can be such a success. I’m wondering who from here would instantly buy a Tetrax if the price would be similar. I’m not talking PB and Coco’s and Stubers obviously, but having products in all price ranges is a great idea and I think C-L and PP should embrace it. Just my 2 cents.

Indeed! I think Tetrax is still quite overpriced. I really hope that CL will go in route of more affordable wooden synth gear in the future. Something that might even get them new customers that are just entering the fabulous world of CL.

Seems like there’s a lot more that goes into making a tetrax than a peterlin. The barres themselves probably involve a good amount of adjustment for the right amount of flex. I’m sure they are aware of the price complaints.

looks like you have room for one or two shnths 
if you get those other two blocks of wood out of there you could fit 6 shnths and you’d really have something goin !

Using one of the square outputs in a lower range, you can clock other banana gear like the Double Knot or Plumbutter, or something else through a jumbler. it’s not a totally stable clock, as the oscillators interact with each other.

Am I l being gaslighted by PP? 
Didn’t they have something other than the Peterlin that they teased around the same time that said coco control?
Their response feels like they didn’t or they’re being evasive. That’s probably not the right word.
