can you say more about the buchla case?

before I sold my easel, I was sorely tempted to replace the 218 with the TSNM. how are you finding that combo?

[mystasea]

The case is made by keen association. Its got a bunch of useful stuff built into its left cheek. A preset voltage sources, euro to buchla voltage conversion and my favourite feature, a slew processor with pulse extraction!

Im super happy with the TSNM. In my small system all these cool digital features are well appreciated, like the adjustable slew of the pressure response and also the clock divider is a real boon as well. There are some minor bugs that i can live with. My only complaint is that the pressure is not high enough voltage to open the LPG fully. This also sometimes means the pulser does not get triggered depending on what the the EG and seq inputs switches are set to. I think the easel needs 13v and this puts out about 10v. I believe its a simple mod to bump up the voltage though so i will probably do that.

Party at your place?!?

That is a thing of beauty!!!

I finally have enough inputs for everything! (Used FF800 picked up as an ADAT expander for my UCX, the back of both are nearly completely populated!)

Synthesizers are fun and they make me happy.

Not bad to travel with!

[shellfritsch]

how are you interfacing the joystick? is it modded to send cv?

[doublecoolbossman]

Its modified to pass cv (have to feed it an offset). These sticks have a db15 connector. Conveniently, db15 connector breakouts exist and are cheap on amazon. If folks are interested I can make a little thread with more deetz.

[Starthief]

That’d be great, I’m curious too

[doublecoolbossman]

Word, will do it within the coming week!

Making use of Scott Campbells Troika for the 301, make sure to check it out if you’re a lucky owner and have three allflesh plates.

an entirely non-electronic instrument in the process of being built

oooh…una corda?

[karst]

yes indeed. I’m spending some time just outside Budapest with David Klavins assisting with building pianos and testing out some new experiments.

A couple shots and the flier from my recent performance at Drone Camp 2 here in Austin, Texas.

It was a really fantastic night and one of those shows where everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there—audience, organizers, and performers alike.

It was also only my second live outing using the monome grid in conjunction with grainfields in Max for Live. What a great combination those two are.

I’m hoping to release some edited recordings from my set and the practice sessions leading up to it.

A couple photos from my release show for Batch 0008 (Batch 0008 by New Tendencies on SM-LL). I performed with the same basic setup as I used on the album - 3 panel Serge, Hinton SwitchMix, OTO BIM and BAM, and a mixer.

I sat with my back to the audience so they could get a good view of what I’m doing, rather that staring at the back of my Serge boats.

The projection is a generative drawing I created in Processing and sometimes use as ambient visual/lighting when I perform.

I’ll have audio to share soon.

dreaming of the day i can order one

Hi! I’m new here:)
