those patch leads just get in the way. This looks a very ad-hoc design of synth, not very well thought out as regards the interface with the user. If it produced some unique tones and timbres that layout might be forgivable but nothing here sounds much different to many other synths.

Hey ! I designed the module and the case that way for myself first and foremost and I like using them! I find this setup to be quite broad and powerful in terms of the sounds it can produce ! With regard to the module’s interface, the main point is that the lay out of the pots allows to manipulate 2/3 of them with one hand at the same time which I like. I should have cable tied this patch to make it more readable but I don’t find the cables to be in the way of playing the system ! Eurorack is one of the most subjective areas of electronic music making from the ergonomics to the sounds it can produce :)

@@Éon-AD yes i guess your right about the subjective nature of the layout of eurorack systems and the ergonomics. And if the way you want to work changes then you can rearrange the modules to suit. i have used synths like the EMS were there is a nice tidy plug board for patching or the Korg MS20 with its patch bay at one end. Also i like (and i am one of the few i think) the Yamaha CS30 where the patching is done with switches across the panel, the options are a bit more limited but in a live performance there are no patch leads to get in the way of the controls and the choices are made at the destination not the source, for example the LFO has no wave shape setting it simply sets the rate, you set the wave shape modulation (square, saw, sine, s/h) at the filter or vco or vca etc. Also you choose the filter hp, bp, or hp, at the VCA, i know it sounds weird but for me it works.

I just received my module today. Going to have so much fun with this! P.s.: man, that packaging with all those cool widgets and addons included in the box was so cool! And I smiled when I spotted the signature in the corner of the PCB. This is real boutique quality! The care and passion of the guild is clearly visible!

Couldn’t miss the point more - this is anti-song music gear for most users. We feel such excitement exploring something new everyday that nothing could be less interesting to us then going back and re-doing or working with something done previously. It’s about the experience - not the end product - and boy is the experience satisfying

@Éon-AD26 күн бұрын
More on the stereo modes of operation to come out soon ! using Procyon as an end of chain filter would be far from transparent ! There’s a lot of gain in this module but I don’t see why it couldn’t be done ! :)

Fantastic work as usual Jason & the GSG. I just acquired a second one from a Melbourne wiggler who was flipping and going a different route sequence wise, definitely my gain there, Hexadecatone FTW!!
