I was literally thinking the other day it would be cool if someone did something like this. I adore this company; such excellent ideas.

Too bad my money is tied up in moving :disappointed_relieved: Next module for sure.

In the most recent update they said, “In terms of timeline, we are on track to send the boards to Mouser in Texas, who do all the fulfillment for Crowd Supply, by mid-June. They then need between two to four weeks to receive and sort the stock before shipping out to all of our backers. Our apologies for this delay, we promise it will be worth the wait!”

I interpret this to mean I might see mine sometime in July.

They had the space opposite ours at Superbooth. It’s such a beautiful module. So responsive. I ordered one through the campaign but I think I’ll need to acquire at least 3 more further down the line. It’s an incredible live performance/improv tool.

I’m not a fan of menus either but I don’t think it will be such an issue in this case. I can see it being one of those modules where you pick a mode and stick with it for a while.

Saw they teased some stretch goals as well, on their Discord. Looking forward to those!

saw that the Keybird is finally available to order: Keybird X1 – Keybird

it reminds me of the klavins una corda for a 6th of the price (but IMO sounds a lot less rich) and is extremely portable, but the sound is just kind of weird to me in a way i can’t place. that being said, i do kind of want it lol

I actually like the sound! And love how it looks like. If I was a piano player, I’d be all over it I think.

Studio is still partially disassembled from painting, but here’s a little first experiments Draconis action, it is an interesting creature…

Very interesting indeed, specially for the price of an old (late 70s) second hand Yamaha U1 piano. I’m curious to try it myself though, I don’t think I’ll ever buy an instrument without trying it myself.

Some info has been released about the upcoming Omnichord reissue. I’m stoked. They’re bringing back the analog circuitry and it’ll be a touch smaller than the original.

They also posted three sounds: original voice, harp, and celeste:

I’m very interested in this project, and am wondering if there is any early documentation. I’m curious if there is a way to adjust the individual delay times relative to each other…

I like very much the sounds in the demo, no info yet about availability

wow. really beautiful.

Really puts the macro in macro oscillator. Looks like a one trick pony, but it might be a pretty good trick. And I count ten CV jacks!

I saw on modulargrid that the Tokyo Tape Music Center Dual Low Pass Gate is back in stock. Only 2 available when I arrived, now only 1. Much hype for me despite the odd 7hp size, its one of the most musical LPGs to my ears.

Just balance it out with a 7hp Bastl Timber - I can’t imagine a Serge-style wavefolder and a Buchlaesque LPG not working superbly together!

we’re trying to decide between one or more of the following approaches:

  • a tap distribution control on the faceplate of the module that lets you smoothly interpolate from clustered-towards-now to evenly-spaced to clustered-towards-t

  • the same but on an expander (which would be an i2c device)

  • expose the individual tap times over i2c for interaction with other devices. namely monome teletype and 16n/f8r

i’m inclined towards the last two, as it doesn’t push us towards faceplate clutter. eager for feedback on this, but this isn’t the right place for a long discussion on a thing i’m selling. if anyone has thoughts, message me or hop on our discord Olivia Artz Modular

I like the idea of i2c integration but just having a knob that moves between several different spread distributions feels more immediate and useful.

Just chiming in to say that the demos and interface of this design really sold it for me, I am really keen to getting one as soon as it becomes available.

My vote is for both i2c and tap control. Always both! The UI is spacious already.
