Aha - thanks for flagging.
Interesting use of a Dicer. I can see how you could use it to trigger live sampling. Food for thought. I only have one snare as part of my kit, but might be worth looking into. So many good ideas around here, so little money to spend

A whole lot of life things have been going on and I haven’t made the time for music. Last week I ended up heavily rearranging my setup for ease of use… then I threw some Christmas at it.
Already making interesting sounds 
standing desk may be the only way I go now.

Yeah, I’ve got some ideas of how to incorporate it. Mainly thinking of some kind of ‘macro’ control thing, or ‘quick access’ functions, while having other controllers and whatnot on the side.
It’s not velocity sensitive or anything, so at some point I might look into DIYing something similarly compact but with more features and/or things I want.

Rack ears, rails etc. arrived today, so I was able to get everything installed in this new Thon 6U, 84HP case:
While in theory extremely simple, I still messed up the brief DIY segment of this project by buying inappropriate rails, by failing to take into account that 6U ears would lack holes midway for 3U divisions and finally by being generally a clumsy chump (as a result, it isn’t exactly 168HP, more like 166). Some drilling and literal tearing with pliers later, though, here we are. This is an easily portable case that cost less than €350 including the Tiptop power set and shipping of all materials. I pinched this Thon idea from Dino Spiluttini, by the way.
One caveat for any interested in trying this themselves: this is a 6U Thon case, but it is not designed for Eurorack specifically. As a result, it’s a tight squeeze, and the hinges do not angle up any further than pictured. I can’t squeeze my hand in under the modules without removing the rack, which is a shame. Perhaps with a modified rack mount later…
PS: the Bastl case that this one replaced is still for sale: https://llllllll.co/t/fs-eu-bastl-marton-eurorack-case-6u-2x72hp/10414

Makes sense. I can imagine having some fun with the Dicer as is. Not sure I have use for it at the moment, though. In that same vein, I tend to have my SP-303 next to my drum set and use it to record / trigger lives samples. It’s a blast.
This thing fell into my lap:

Saving up for a professional job is definitely the best way to do it if you want it to function exactly as planned. I just couldn’t stretch my budget (or patience) any further.

I am in the market for a Tascam Porta05 - same concept!

with the beloved pitch wheel!
Yes 
Haven’t really had time to sink my teeth into it yet, but everything seems to work fine, except som scraping pots.
@iggrok I’ve also been on the lookout for a 4-track from Tascam, as I’ve heard they’re usually of a higher quality, but I’m sure this one suits my needs just as well!

Hey @davidjez, how do you like the Make Noise Dynamix?

whoa. that looks quite … minimal
I like the dynamix. A good addition for sure. I like most MN gear. It’s usually very well thought out even if you don’t recognize it initially. Morphagene has also been loads of fun.
Tiny tapeloops!
Successfully tried my hand at making some tapeloops on micro-cassettes. Fun stuff
