I recently picked-up a Din Datin Dudero Srine:
Initial opinion is that it’s the weirdest instrument I’ve ever been in front of, and I’ve played quite a few weird ones (including most of the modern C-L stuff).
The opacity of the patch points is simultaneously fun and frustrating; adding a connection seems equally as likely to add variation to knob turns as it is to either have no apparent effect or to apparently freeze up the circuit. So far, I personally find this randomness engaging, but playing with the DDD is mostly a reactivate experience.
Knob turns in the initial state seem to be some kind of sample and hold or ASR trigger, as well as an envelope, and stereo panning based on clockwise/counterclockwise movements. Generally, the DDD seems to favor high frequencies (which can be a struggle) though it brings the bass too.
When patched, I’ve mostly been appreciating the abrupt timbral possibilities:
