Anyone here have any experience with the Dunst? Really seems like a fascinating one - looking into it for wonky, dusty/noisy rhythms that fall in and out of time with something a bit more…traditional?

I ended up returning my Dunst.

One reason was that the knobs were really wonky: very inconsistent in the resistance. So tight in some places that it made it hard to adjust them at all.

But also, because the functionality was very underwhelming to me. The “dust” part was very subtle, And noise was not something I could not get from Quantum Rainbow. Other aspects related to triggers, I felt were well covered by, for example, Fourses, which I kept.

That’s interesting. I played with it for a few minutes at Control and did not find that same knob resistance that you describe. Noise, yes, you can get from anywhere - fair few flavors of noise from my tELHARMONIC - but what about the “dust” was too subtle for you, as that seems to be the most attractive portion? What’s attracting me is twofold:

  1. That you can send the wonky envelope out to be attenuated and utilized around the rig for some weirdness and
  2. The character of the dust sound is almost pillowy, but it can also get raspy too, something that not a lot of noise modules can do.

thanks, its mostly free running. Some of the FM between the Sid and Coco are connected. The Coco i use the sample and holds to modulate also. I use a looping pedal to build stuff up. This gives you the idea :

Thanks a lot I may very well take you up on that offer in the near future I’d really like to try this instrument.

About to run to airport, so very briefly. I had all the IFM modules and enjoyed all of them in their own ways but I only held on to Dunst and Sprott (more on that later, maybe. note you need a limiter after Sprott to have fun otherwise you could blow your speakers).

Know there are many IFM lovers here. Any experiences with the Mocante? Looks like a great controller and sound source. It’s like a Tocante but modular. If anyone has vids, that’d be great, too. Thanks!

Took the Rollz-5 out for its first gig last night, didn’t get video/audio, but the booker did get a nice photo of my setup for the evening

Audio recorded at home instead? :smiley:

I’ll see if I can get something recorded this weekend, working on an ep for a separate project at the moment tho so the studio is not quite configured correctly.

curious about plumbutter 2 build quality / i live far far away and i’m not that good in fixing stuff so i’d be thankful if you’ll share your thoughts

The biggest issue for me on my plumbutter v1 and its a recurring theme on v2 is the minimal amount of solder used for attaching banana sockets to the board. The actual board itself is all SMT which is fine. I use Pomona banana cables which are quite tight fitting and very secure. I’ve had multiple banana sockets failures 10+. In the end i resoldered all the sockets myself with extra solder - no issues since.

thanks for your feedback! (and pb tunes btw) I’ve heard that some people experience problems with deerhorn part too. any comments on that?

can’t find them online just to check the prices. it looks like you need 40-50 of those to mess with pb.

#141

Yes, with the deerhorn it depends on the temperature / climate. I’m in Thailand and the deerhorn range was not sufficient to play or wouldn’t work at all, even when adjusting the range knob and calibration screw. I contacted Peter and i had to replace a resistor as it was out of the range of the tuning knob / tuning screw. It worked fine since.

You can get Ponoma cables on Mouser, but they are quite expensive. I bought all mine second hand on muffwiggler forum. You can use cheaper banana cables but Ponoma are top of the range. I use them on my Buchla.

You could try contacting Tom at Bugbrand to see if he’ll sell you some.

He sells cable packs with his synth voice frames.

They’re nice cables and certainly not as expensive as Pomonas. Not sure you’ll get quite as many as you want for your budget though. They don’t require soldering so very easy to fix if required. I also find them not quite so tight as Pomona cables which might be useful given what mlogger says about the plumbutter jacks.
