Had a few exciting updates to this, thanks to scoping out used modules and well-priced Mutable clones. I’ve got a Microcell incoming, as well as a Crow that my best friend Max (who lurks somewhere on this forum) bought me as a late bday present.
I’m starting to learn Max (the program, not the person), so Crow and Sol will be trading duties for computer/Fates connection as situations come about, although Crow’s MaxMSP integration is something I’m really looking forward to as I becoming proficient in patching. I’ve been sequencing from and recording to Fates as a standalone performance platform with the modular, but I find that the midi clock out over USB is unstable, so notes and modulations have been unsynced from each other for the past few recording sessions. Truth be told, it’s a pretty good-sounding problem to have!
Also: Tides is amazing. If I ever reconfigure this case to have less+larger modules, that’s one I’ll absolutely buy a full-size, original version of. Can’t say enough good things about it.
