You’re cheating because 2017 is just one month and a half away. Try that same sentence in january about 2018 and I’ll be super impressed ^^

Edit: to be less off-topic: this is a super interesting synth and definitely a rare not too shameful gear acquisition to desire. Sadly, these days, because of live considerations, I need gear I don’t really really want, and I want gear I don’t really really need. Damn.

Revisiting this. Very nearly impulse ordered last night but the price is just too high to make it a complete spur of the moment thing. That said, this seems like the perfect way to replace my Matter, which I do miss sometimes.

Myles, I had the same response. The price is just high enough to brake the instant gratification impulse.

I emailed him about delivery and he’s anticipating/hoping-for mid-December for current orders.

I don’t like the whole pre-order thing generally (and I view my wait for my Arc as a backorder), but I may make an exception with this.

I happen to have some funds kicking around in Paypal from some Ebay sales. Maybe I’ll do it.

For what it’s worth I can attest to Will being a good guy. I (slightly) drunk ordered the double knot, and then Will told me the wait time, I thought I’d be OK with it, and then maybe not… and then I it wasn’t a smart buy right now so I told him, and he refunded me immediately, no questions. I still would like one to play around with but I’m busy…

Just noticed these are in stock at Control. Trying to avoid GAS here but does anyone have one? Do you like it? How are you using it? Any videos / sound examples?

@lijnenspel is your wo/man.

Yeah.

I saw that too. It’s the one thing floating around out there right now with which I’m struggling.

As someone commented earlier, the price is just high enough to stay the Instant Gratification Finger.

@madeofoak @Larrea Sorry can’t help you off your GAS as this thing is pretty amazing. It squeals like no other when you turn the fm up :smiley: Here’s one more example of it just processed with the reverb on the k-mix, but mind your GAS: https://clyp.it/gk25ej4a?token=afb3bad2c58cbce650df29572e1833b9

It does exactly the thing I want it to do, be a 2 voice percussive side kick to the pb2. I think (and I could be totally wrong!) it’s purely meant for percussion and havent been able to do melodic or drony stuff yet. Using it with eurorack (in combination with a diy banana<>jack tumblr) is also pretty good so far, mind that it doesnt like negative cv.

I think this would make a freaky dream duo with 0-coast, love the idea of doing a idm liveset on just the two. Someone have a spare 0-coast I can haz? :innocent:

thank you! related: can you clock the pb2 like you can the double knot? i can’t seem to find examples of anyone using it within a system, usually just solo.

The pb2 is not as easy to clock as the double knot. The different modules require different triggers/gates. Still haven’t figured the triggers on the pb2 out completely as I use it mostly standalone as well before getting the double knot. Should use the scope on the pb2 and report back. Been able to put the double knots clock outs into the rollz and get a chaotic clock that way. Not sure if this answers your question?

When you say it doesn’t like negative CV do you mean that it could damage the DK?

Thanks!

Yeah, got that from the manual

Banana connectors are putting out signals of 0 to 8v and looking for the same at inputs… please avoid using negative cv signals

it’s a better answer than i’ve been able to find, and makes a lot of sense. thanks!

@lijnenspel I’m about to purchase that thing but I’m curious as how do you integrate it with eurorack? do you have hybrid cable (banana/1/4in) I imagine this could be perfect companion to a teletype. your sound clips are really really good if that’s the DK alone I’m sold!

It comes with a minijack clock in/out suitable for eurorack. I found that for example the launch codes doesn’t trigger it, but when I offset it with Maths it does, so it might need a bit more than 5V? Should scope. I can recommend diying a banana/minijack tumbler, its an easy and fun mini project. Found that I’m not cross patching that much more than clock, as it has everything it needs. Glad you’re liking the clips :slight_smile: Looking forward hearing your creations with the DK! :slight_smile:

Cool! I just hit the trigger, can’t wait :smiley:

I found these banana to minijack online would that suit for integration with euro you reckon?

I am considering this little beasty as I would really like a nice little percussion sidecar for the plumbutter

although a second plumbutter would be fun I don’t think I’ll be able to justify that and the new DDD stuber if it ever comes out for a very long time…

I’ve got a minijack to banana converter that I bought to use with my wife’s video synth I could commandeer when I’m patching I bet

Been looking at those as well but decided that making my own tumbler with attenuator was cheaper and more useful :slight_smile:

By tumbler you mean cable? Sorry I think I know what you are talking about but could only find tumblr website when I Google it /:confused:

I guess something like a format jumbler
