Gearing up, I thought I'd start a new thread (old mentions here)

I did an overview video::

Sounds fucking beefy! I really should get my knees wet with red stuff at some point...

really wide range of sounds in there tom, plus the full system section at the end. a joystick / touchplate module would work great with it.

Very nice video (and audio)! Great little machine on its own, and still able to be part of a larger system.

I love the fact that youtube followed it up (on autoplay) with another demo of yours, from 2011

Any idea when the 11FW Frames for the reds will be available again?

Cheers

Says February in the mailout. I'm waiting for those to get my chirper together with one

chrisdermo · Post by **chrisdermo** » Thu Jan 18, 2018 4:46 pm

Looks like they sold out already

Yeah, I'll be getting on to them once I've done my quarterly accounts - so reckon by mid Feb.

Glad I finally got the Chirper out! There may still be a few available once the dust settles.

After the mailout I realised that I only mentioned the mod-points on the instruction sheet - so hope people read that! There are points for further CV ins and an audio in to the filter (though you'd really need a preamp)

Maybe sometime I'll describe how I farted around designing a whole expander (3FW with touch points, audio in, sample & hold, etc) before deciding I didn't like it..

Hehe. I really hope touchplates get implemented into something in the future. I would be curious to hear why you didn't like the implementation on the chirper. I see Meng Qi was playing his with bare banana plugs and skin contact so there's always that for the curious.

Oh btw Tom I think the link to the instructions PDF on the site is broken, when I click the link I get:

I have a couple more to go online, but can't do anything until my computer is back in action!

If you are in US near Philadelphia you can see a Chirper and twirl it around a bit on January 28.

It's one of the prototypes and I'm bringing it to a meet & greet, headphones only, gathering at a music store. More details in the appropriate Gatherings thread here.
