disting mk5! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAe82blGm8E
8HP, functions as dual distings or one mega disting. now with OLED!

It looks like the Disting EX has an i2c bus. :crossed_fingers: for Teletype support

from the manual:

Devices on an I2C bus have an address, which a sending device uses to identify the intended
recipient. The disting EX’s address is set in the Settings (see above).
Currently the disting EX sends no messages on the I2C bus.
It receives messages in the following format:
<address> 11H <controller number> <value MSB> <value LSB>

Explicitly not mk5 according to Os, as he will still be producing mk4s (I think). Comes with some nice Spitfire samples too. Manual is available on the Expert Sleepers website. I’m looking forward to hooking it up to Teletype when it arrives next week (and after the joys of unplugging the 8 connected i2c modules I already have :weary:)

Yea wow… new disting definitly got my mind moving around a bit with the I2C. Towards the end of the manual it says the incoming commands are mapped to algo params through mappings… which potentially powerful, but I don’t see 100% for sure that this includes all algos or just the new ones.

Still, potentially a great “expander” for teletype or crow.

EDIT: section on mapping I2C commands to parameters is on page 19

started a separate thread for the disting EX.

Did y’all see this? I wish this had existed when I got into Eurorack. It’s beautiful.

I’m honestly fascinated at all the sampling capabilities (and, even more, dedicated sampling systems like this one) entering eurorack. it’s cool and strange and a little confusing.

love the weird design choices between the faceplates and knobs, and doing it in (the much cuter) 84hp :slight_smile: i had forgotten squid sample can record and playback CV—insane potential there, can’t wait to see more people playing with these.

:thinking:Looks like you could build it for cheaper. Unless the case is something super special, and you really want the gray panels. With a used make noise skiff you’d have an extra 20hp too.

It’s not clear if or when Milton or the MCF will be available outside of the system. Mutable’s Links would be a reasonable substitute for Milton; MCF is a little trickier but there are options. MUM8 is a neat filter, but would be very different than the MCF.

it’s like a links and an S.B.G., or some other combo of similar utilities. the MCF seems easy to replace, there’s lots of multimode filters on the market, for example Cinnamon seems like similar size and functionality (although maybe imparts more of its own characters and theres an extra FM input on the MCF).

It does seem weird that it’s priced higher than the tape & microsound system (as a comparison) although I admittedly haven’t thought too deeply into the individual module pricings—I imagine something like squid sample is expensive and cost every penny for development and production, so I’m not implying they’re overpricing anything. My guess is it might have to do with exchange rates into USD? curious how the pricing seems in the UK… Also maybe they’re simply adding the price of the case and power supply and not really offering any discount for purchasing the system, the way MN does?

Pricing for Coupe is £1900 in the UK which sounds like a good deal to me, tbh, but I didn’t do the maths in my head for individual modules.

Exchange rate usually hurts us over here - straight 1:1 dollars to pounds (but including sales tax) is now the norm.

Make Noise had a story on Instagram today that seems like the start of a teaser?

Skeleglowbro doesn’t seem to explicltly relate to their known iconography. :mag_right:

Yeah, I also thought this was a departure from their usual story postings.

hmm, looks like it’s going to be some kind of VERTICAL spatial-imaging processor, for skeletons.

Probably some kind of clip on speakers for your fingers and toes that conduct sound through your bones to vibrate your skull.

name will be Y-PAN, obviously.

Been wondering for a little while what would be next for them. A stereo Erbe would make some sense, but maybe not considering the very stereo focused TMMM is already being marketed as a complete system. Maybe the skeleton is suggesting a new controller module, updated pressure points perhaps.

Personally I would love to see a Make Noise take on the harmonic oscillator but who knows!
