Great explanation of your patch and a nice way to introduce many of the features!

I ordered one today. It arrives Monday.

System 100m x 2600! Sounds beautiful. Little pricy, but would be great for people just starting eurorack who want to just spend once rather than buying a rack and a bunch of modules. Wonderful quality of life features like the subdividing LFO.

Soooo cool ,- im more and more amazed with DivKid's excellent overviews of Eurotack components ...AND his approach to electronica music in general,- 😉👍

its like a painter's easel, but for making music. love all these new innovative instruments, its hard to keep up with all them

Yes please! This is a top presentation and I would love to see a complete series as I am about to get one and your vids are by far the best in terms of explanation and inspiration.

Just invested. Should arrive in time for summertime musical expression. Going to put it in my rack with the rack ears and cord holder. Love the “Boards of Canada” tones. I play violin so it will be nice to compose for Cascadia and Celtic /classical fiddle!

Love the plants on the desk piss take Ben

Still laughing at all the people complaining about the price. It’s a high quality product made by an amazing small company out of high quality parts. If you want cheap gear there are plenty of options, and they all sound inline with their prices. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think it's easy to just go "semi modular dual oscillator mono synth" but you look at the features and it's really packed in for the price, impressively so. Each of the features is also an interesting and non basic take on it. The MIDI Integration, pedal integration, mixer and filter options, VCA routings etc. It would take a hell of a lot of modules, even the cheapest options out there to recreate it one to one.

thanks for the amazing breakdown. Super inspiring :)

Great video Ben!

Such a beautiful semi-modular synth 😍

Feels like a "biggest hits" in a small package. I guess when comparing it next to a case with a Rubicon, Dixie, Bi-Fold, u-mod, Polaris, etc Cascadia works out cheaper.

Great video and explanation dude!

I did yeah, he was kind enough to post those out next day for me to film this. Mylar Melodies was busy with his talking hands working on the Cascadia too. My talking hands were too old and tired, a couple of years older than Loopops in video land. It's lovely there's such a friendly hand removing, sharing, borrowing community of creators. :)

no it's all terrible with a side of rubbish. Sound in general is overrated, lets van Gogh it and move to a new scent based medium for musical stimulus.

£2K😳as much as I love intellijel products…. And they’re not exactly cheap…. This is too expensive! Even with intellijel products, one could build a more powerful eurorack for less….

It’s great but I’m not sure it’s 2 grand great… hmmm

it looks like a $1000 synth, costs $2100, and sounds like it costs $300.
