I’m having serious thoughts along the lines of “if this chap can make a guitar look like this, what can he do with my skiff…?”

Thank you! That means a lot coming from someone who has one of the most aesthetically pleasing setups I’ve ever seen :slight_smile:

My desktop toys. Seems like the only patching I do these days are power and audio lines.

It took me a couple glances to spot the difference in the numbers… I’m dyslexic too! I’ve noticed it’s much worse with numbers.

I finally got my Tracker in, and I spent all morning playing with it! It’s a great centerpiece for a setup like mine, since I can use it for EQ and compression even when I’m not actually sequencing with it. I do MIDI out and audio through, but it’s easy enough to just pick it up and go to another room to just slice and dice samples or make beats.

As someone who has spent a lot of time struggling with every part of Renoise except the actual tracker part, having something this tactile is sooooo nice. And it looks really pretty, IMO.

Haha I was being a bit hyperbolic but I do really like the look of your setup. It seems like well designed instruments are important to you. I sometimes wish that I could start fresh and only pick gear that matched my aesthetics, but I’m pretty devoted to the workflow that comes with my current setup… maybe I’ll change everything when I want to explore a different sound.

Just got this Italian machine (LEP means Laboratorio di Elettronica Popolare) from @Trigga (thanks! :slight_smile: )

Does it have pick ups?

#6689

air pump or bellows?

#6690

no pick ups, there is a bellow on the back :slightly_smiling_face: will make some pictures when i take it apart. Its quite charming in its own way. Finally found one second hand i like.
Each note is fitted with two reeds in middle and low octave (male / bass). They can be played separately or in combination, giving three different tonal colours. There are 5 drone notes and octave coupler connects the keys mechanicly to higher octave notes (can be activated or deactivated).
A…and there is a weird tremolo.

Reminds me to a very nice documentary about the making of a rudra vina: Rudra vina manufacturing of an Indian string instrument in the tradition of Kanailal & Bros

New configurations - a mannequins / benjolin box and an buchla / ambient / tape & micro sound music machine in a shared system case. Really having fun with both!

My Nintendo DS music rom search continues, deep cut of the day is this odd unfinished DS port of the OP-1!?!?!?

Don’t really know what it’s quite doing but got some glitch looping going. There’s a screen with a line and in+out points where at some point I briefly got a waveform to appear… there’s one with concentric circles of switches which seem to make some click rythyms, the keyboard grid in the photo plays notes, and two nice tape recorders which can record what’s going on and you can ‘scratch’ with

Seems to be no info about it anywhere except this github. Spent a while trying to figure out how to compile it before realising that the included .nds file does actually work on a real DS, just not in my emulator. :-/ GitHub - efairbanks/op-1: This bit of Nintendo DS homebrew is deserving of its own repo. This is specifically pulled from my bitbucket account, and is hopefully the most up-to-date version of this software. It's a digital audio workstation for the Nintendo DS that presents the user with a set of "pages" that represent a particular piece of hardware you might find in a studio. (eg. a reel-to-reel tape recorder, a synthesizer, etc...) It's an ambitious project considering the Nintendo DS's lack of CPU-power, but I'm quite fond of the tape-deck emulation on this thing.

EDIT: found out that the D-pad on the concentric circles thing turns the clicks into nice machine-like glitch rhythms :slight_smile:

The waveform editor kind of thing I found you can select part of it and fade in/out with the D-pad… but also you can zoom in and not be able to zoom out again!?
