Re: Thomann prices to the UK no longer include VAT
ups have lost the plot a bit, I asked where I should send a bill for loss of earnings this week after about 3 days of trying to glean info, then the package that'd been "delayed due to a brexit disruption" for weeks magically appeared the next day Where I should send a bill for loss of earnings!!

Is this a grounding problem?
Several eurorack cases. Touch one. Rest sensitive inner arm against another (case outer or Doepfer antenna). Feel a sizzle. 🤨 That’s wrong, right? (Though I have had similar with my laptop?!) Doesn’t feel hardcore, but a noticeable “ooo”. If so, could it be a module? I’ve had this with two cases tha...

Re: Claravox theremin
I looked on UK websites this morning, out of interest.
April seemed to be the earliest UK punts, with others putting it at 3 months or more. Interesting if they're beginning to land elsewhere! Suspect the UK dates are more 'we have no chuffing idea m8' holding dates.

Re: Yet Another Newbie - Feedback on Controversial Rack Please
Familiar brand, familiar colours, structure, shape, routine all helped break down that unfamiliarity and make more approachable. This is a very good point, and now that I think about it...

Re: Yet Another Newbie - Feedback on Controversial Rack Please
Hey, welcome to the forum. I appreciate the attempt to try something new. But I don't really get the point. The way I see it, basically in order to make your 2hp module playable you're adding a 2hp blank panel........? Why not just get a 4hp module instead? :hmm: The reason menu diving is bad presu...

Wholly ignoring your second sentence, about which my ignorance is abundant, ochd (8 wobbly LFOs) and LxD (lovely LPG) are two of my fun 4hp fillers. Or 4tten if you do want some serious and practical attenuation. The LFOs you’ve already...

When talking about the Plaits and the BIA, what do you mean by self sufficient? Thanks! Plaits, at least, has an on board vcf / vca / lpg. It can do a lot more by itself.

Re: Pros/cons to starting eurorack with mother-32
I was pretty hardcore into modular before getting a moog semi triple. I like them. I like them all. I could not do much better in modules (let alone with powered case) for £600 odd. It has some very clear limitations - I was shocked, in my ignorance, to realise that once up and assembled the full mo...

Anyone able to speak to what custom fees were like ordering from Patch-Point to USA?

Re: Post pics of your euro setup!
Control skiff. Really necessitated by a shift to two big vertical cases, which made a lot of the hands on stuff complicated. Then two Doepfer theremin arrived and I clocked the beauty of having this case as a portable solution for the downstairs and upstairs racks 😎 Kitchen synth (plumbutter not inc...

Re: Eurorack standard desperately needed!!!
Something that is the “next thing” after eurorack will surely come along some day, that’s the nature of things. But I don’t think that an inconsistent control voltage standard will be the motivating factor. 'Brexitrack.' Entirely incompatible with every other system but, dammit, it's the people's c...

I am an idiot, and with headphones on instead of the single / mono kitchen speaker connected it is working flawlessly.

Re: Rene 1 as modulation sequencer?
Literally the only reason I’m hanging on to mine.
Bought one whilst searching for a Rene 2. Found a Rene 2 hours later. It is a big old chunk of hp, but cheap and has real potential for any CV out.

Re: Second SQ-1 - why do I feel slightly embarrassed?
I rate it. I purposefully bought an SQ-1 before the SQ-64 came out, and when a couple of places appeared to be winding down stocking the 1. It is dinky, flexible, battery powered (?), manipulable on the fly, and (relatively speaking) dirt cheap. It ALSO works with my Korg stash. Indeed, part of my o...
