‘having to choose ahead of time what to listen to as opposed to being paralyzed by choice will make for more mindful listening too.’
Yes! I tend to take two tapes with me just in case my mood changes though. Generally something acid-y along with whatever I’ve chosen for the day

Got tired of loose ribbon cables that were too short. I2C was makin’ me crazy! Now to plug it all in and see if it works…
Edit:
Well, it boots. That’s a start!
Now to update some firmwares…

Very interesting to see the back of a system with lots of I2C connections, I knew it was possible but it never occurred to me just how awkward it would be to wire up!
What is the huge module in the top left with a big screen and a bunch of USB ports?

It’s the Percussa Super Signal Processor, and I’d very interessed to hear what @anon45924993 thinks of it (or be linked to his thoughts on it if he wrote them on another topic already !)
That’s a real beaut. I bought a Technics deck last year that smokes when powered up. Probably a cheap/quick fix, if I had the time!

can’t recommend the µO_c highly enough for you. reclaim some space!
I know! I could also replace my Clouds clone with a uBurst! And I will likely replace Maths with a Stages sometime next year as well. In the meantime I will consider the size of a regular O_c as a luxury

The Percussa SSP hardware is amazing. The software… has a lot of growth potential.

I would say that of all the “miniaturised” things, only the µO_C feels like “that was the size it should have always been”; none of the tiny MI modules seem to make much ergonomic sense to me. But I’m very happy with my little OC.

I second that! Wouldn’t know where I’d be without mine
i’m lost when it comes to DIY/electronics, fortunately we have a good shop here that does repairs (they have some amazing stuff, i could easily spend a couple of hours there just browsing).
and i’m finally able to play your tape now
I kind of wonder about the newer version of Plancks with the sliders. It makes a lot more sense to me than the first one with the crowded knobs. I even considered getting one just as a mixer/offset generator (which is how I usually used Frames), but decided against it.
I agree that uO_C’s layout seems clearer than the original O_C. I’m considering it for my next module purchase, since Hemisphere Suite seems particularly useful to me. I just bought a tanh[3] minutes ago though, so I’m not sure when that’ll be

How are you using Grid with Aalto?
New toy. Technically my spouse’s new toy, so I may have to get my own.
I used to play violin in high school in the 80s and was good at it, but lapsed and lost most of my muscle memory for it (as well as raising my standards about what “good” is). Guitars are just weird and wrong to me but mandolin tuning is in 5ths like the violin and thus makes sense to me. Most of the battle seems to be holding it properly, playing cleanly, and calluses.
It’s a shame fretless mandos tend to be 4-string, have little sustain and sound like a plucked violin without electronic assistance, because a scale length like this with no frets would probably feel pretty great. I like the sound of this one quite a bit though.
While I’ve never been a “real musicians ________” snob, I do think playing acoustic instruments, and trying unfamiliar ones, gives some perspective as well as insight into sound design and music theory. And humility! Here I am struggling to get “Hot Cross Buns” out of it without missed notes and rattles and accidental muting and totally forgetting to hold it properly.
