That is as brilliant as it is insane. @tehn makes a controller with just two knobs. Faderfox are like “Fuck that minimalist shit, here have bloody billions of the things.” Someone needs to tell them about the 512 grids.

I’ve owned a lot of the FaderFox units over the years, and can highly recommend them. Quality construction, very functional, small and light.

My modular addiction ended up eating them all, but if I had appropriate USB/MIDI needs I’d not hesitate to buy them again.

Some of them have a bit of a Buchla vide to the buttons as well :slight_smile:

while unlatching (dispatching?) my cases today i took this double pano.
various things in disarray, some modules missing, others temporarily plugging holes: about to rework the whole thing… but I really like the two case setup. It’s broad enough to feel limitless to me, yet focused in a way that i think of it as an “instrument”.

Any way you can describe how it’s sonically different from various other nonlinear/glitch/whatever percussive-type sounds?

my memory could be wrong but it had resonant metallic quality leaning toward karp strong at certain settings…but for me more memorable than the sound was the internal architecture

just friends is the only module i’ve used that’s as versatile and flexible while solely self patched

played well with others as a modulation source and used to be my main clock for teletype excursions

Oooh, that’s actually quite an endorsement.

I was wondering about the Karplus Strong aspect too; I have a Meng Qi Karp, but the architecture is indeed quite different. May have to look at this again.

That video wouldn’t happen to be generated by Gieskes’ new video module would it?

[/quote]it is, yes

I’m beginning to develop a vocabulary with it and actually prefer the glitch visuals of the previous version (oscilatoscope1) with splashes of colour and sync modulation from the new one.

Hallo double knot! It sounds like this.

Holy hell you’ve got some incredible sounds going on there.

I’m glad someone here got one of these. I was just thinking about them this morning while driving to work.

Posting because I couldn’t google the disassembly instructions or guts of an RE-301 anywhere. Just “finished” troubleshooting the solenoid which just stopped working. A couple < 24v kicks got it going again, but for how long haha

Thanks! I was one of the first to preorder :smiley: Had to wait a bit for it to travel along to Europe :slight_smile:

Here’s it jamming with the PB2 which seems a match made in heaven. Would be easy to do a whole live set on just the two.

Would def buy an album of those jams

Old picture of an old setup. My setup now is much more balanced.

but…
what’s unbalanced about that case?

Balanced in terms of a new case, a BI and Numeric repetitor :slight_smile:

Snap of some of the modular madness that occurred at MOFO this past weekend in Hobart.
