I’d like to think that the size of the backlog would be a strong indicator to the creator that some help would be a good idea. Backlogs have a habit of going dry when left to linger for too long.

Honestly what he needs to do is raise the price. He could sell it for 7 or 8, that would cut the orders back to a reasonable wait time and still leave room for the early birds to list on reverb for 1k.

Looks like a simple, good looking, nice sounding, playable instrument. Someone could enjoy it for at least a year before cycling it on to the next owner.

That’s a fair point maybe it’s not resonant and the Res Eq is fairly expensive on parts. You can get $35 10 band guitar pedals and 10 band graphic eq PCB’s. The PCB’s are $12 on eBay and they are stereo - 5v - 15v.

True, the smaller tank seems to be more playable in regards to this set up.

Looks like this could be it, nice find.

This is a er301 custom unit I made today. It’s a 15 band eq with a spring reverb in the feedback loop. The faderbank is assigned to each band. The isms case has built in ins / outs specifically for a spring reverb which honestly, I have rarely used. I took the ins / outs into the er301 through the custom eq. The eq was made by chaining 5 x EQ3 units in serial and I tuned each one so they are had similar numbers to the front panel of a Res Eq. It’s not perfect, it needs fine tuning, but was more a proof of concept.

Heres the updated er301 patch to download - i posted on the er301 forum http://forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/custom-unit-spring-feedback-loop-based-on-tilde-elektriske-fjaerlett/4602/2

Whenever someone says the ER 301 is expensive, I tell them how much it saved me from hunting other eurorack modules. It needs a set of good controllers like a 16n and maybe some gates next to it but that pretty much keeps me happy, I think your ER 301 videos show that point as well. :slight_smile:

Yes for sure, it’s saved me at least buying 12u of modules to cover what it can do. It’s things like this, were it earns every penny. Saying that you can probably do this with a Music Thing Graphic EQ and Spring.

Thanks for the proof of concept @mlogger, I’m keen to try this with the ER 301 but haven’t yet.

Feels weird to share my own work but it is on topic…two reverb tanks in the discussed patch (one shaped by the Res EQ the other with Fumana). I’m also using a harmonic Oscillator to affect one of the spring tanks at times. We set 234hz as reference point and the organ is tuned to a meantone variation with this as the fundamental.

Just received a nice email from Kristoffer Gard Osen, saying a bit about how he is dealing with the queue of requests- and how he will get in touch when people are the next in line. Interestingly he also adds:

Some have asked for customizations and mods to the Fjærlett and I can say now that as a general rule I won’t be doing big structural mods and customizations. Small stuff like e.g change the led colour is of course possible. However, there will be an option for those of you who want an input jack

sounds good I think…

Best news I’ve heard all week… is it 2024 yet?

Wow, this sounds great and I like the minimal 80s B&O styling. I have a Moisturizer, which is also an awesome beast with a few more features, but something about that simplicity and the graphic eq rather a filter really works well. Great (almost too great) price also!

Just to be sure, is anybody already working on a Norns/supercollider version of this, a kind of resonant filterbank with io and controllable with a faderbank ? Or does it already exist ? If not, I may try something (Absolutely no certitude, I’ve made some Norns programs before but never worked with audio for Norns, only midi…)

I showed the demo video to a friend of mine, we’d both like to own such a device but the five years waitlist eh… About the waitlist, I think an algo/function within Mailchimp has automatically set the wait time to 5 years based on a simple multiplication but it’s probably not the reality, don’t you think ?

I think in 5 years I could teach myself enough EE to build one of these. LOL.

Haha :laughing: I think I’m gonna learn too. It’s probably worth it ! 5 years wait time, I’m wondering how much units it represents. 1000 ? 3000 ? It’s probably worth learning woodworking at the same time because this wooden enclosure is really nice too

Don’t think this makes much sense in norns tbh. You want a real spring reverb. Get a doepfer a199, some VCAs, and a resonant equalizer - random*source make a eurorack version. Add an LFO or three, and you have a very flexible system based on this concept.

That’s right. I tried to find how how I can achieve that with existing analog hardware, a spring verb is not hard to get. Can you recommend such a resonant param equalizer ? Should I look for some kind of filterbank Like the Sherman or ?

Yes I have this exact set up. I have had this patched for the last week or so. Once under control, it’s a very fun patch.
