portable wiard = eurorack in a small case ???
they released a photo of an equivalent to music easel with malekko wiard parts.
If I could afford all 300 series modules I would but I cant. Built for a lifetime... no single comprimise anywhere. Perfect layout and intermodule functionality. |

That was never the point in the counter-argument, my good man.

You already have at least one! As long was we split your case in half and consider 175kgs to be 'portable'

I know I'm in this boat. I've had large and small systems, and the ones that were portable (to some degree at least,) are the ones that I enjoyed the most. Being able to sit away from the studio with it, having some restraint on the amount of functions available, etc. really add to my creativity. If I need more than it provides, I can always go interface with other systems. I happen to be working on one of my own right now, and have custom tailored the function blocks to everything I've wanted in a portable system, but to this point haven't had in one. I think it will be a lot of fun.
Whether one calls it an Easel/Weasel (as a point of reference for others,) is more or less irrelevant. It's the overall concept of a portable yet powerful system that appeals to people. (myself included) There were a lot of times that I would have been able to write music or design sounds outside the studio, but wasn't about to drag a full-depth rack out with me, or a string of smaller boxes. If I had one really good sub-set of functions in a handy box, I could have been creating. I loved my MonoMachine when I had it for this reason, my Serge Creature was up there as well for this sort of thing (but was a little lacking in some functions.) There was always something though that I thought could have been done differently (hence working on my own design now.)
I think the true Easel was implemented quite well, in that it included a really good set of functions that people today are still intrigued by it. (evidenced by this very forum)
To stay semi-on-topic, I'd LOVE to see a Porta-Wiard. Yes, you can build one from Euro modules, which actually works great, but to have one beautiful Wiard box under one panel would be amazingly cool. (I think so anyway.) |

Yeah, I saw that photo 208/Malekko comparison. It IS nice. However the one thing that I keep thinking is how better it would be to buy all those modules, create a full-row faceplate that would blend the modules together better, color-code the jacks, and solder all point to a card slot so I can save patches. The fact that I'm so close to actually doing something so damn crazy may be the best reason for someone to just MAKE IT FOR ME ALREADY!  |

Blasphemy! |
with ongoing long term relationships with Serge, Bugbrand, Cwejman, Hordijk and Walekko I'm skint (forever!) and all formatted out...
But I am still looking for the perfect gigging instrument, as the Blippoo box is the closest I've found I am pretty sure Rob Hordijk will be the guy to make it one day - but I'd be happy to see Grant competing for the job! I love the sound of his stuff

| I wonder if he'll accept any new orders for just one or two 300 modules. I really want the Wogglebug and probably a Sequentizer or Waveform City. I suppose I should send an email to find out. Very excited to hear the new news! |

Hordijk should make a small run of the twentyfourseven

| Is the Omni-Filter going to continue being made? I know this one has super limited stock of parts available... but I can imagine buying the Omni Filter, a Waveform City or a Wogglebug to go with current malekko modules would be really awesome. |

This thread, in a strictly artistic and capitalism-as-a-rave manner, is great.
This thread is.... akin to whatever those folks who bought Bitches Brew when it was brand new, sound un-heard... then let 'Pharaoh's Dance' bump loud as fuck on 1970's consumer hi-fi for the first time.

Just reread the page...
Maybe there is nothing to wait for. It's just reopening under new
management, but that has already been touched upon here.
Says the new website is coming soon as well as a new product line,
but those aren't tied to May 5th.
