Sold mine to a fellow wiggler for street price... Feel bad if anyone had to pay more than that...

I really love the combination of Marbles/DPO/PressurePoints!

Here is my first "something" I've recorded with it.

Absolutely loving mine. I have removed from my box quite a few modules and really enjoying a more minimal set-up. I have been playing with a few modules to understand how it works. I have done a simple jam with it to showcase some of the features of the module.

I hope anybody find it useful to get ideas about how can be used in a more melodic minimal context
Cheers

Well, the shop is modularsynthesizers.nl, but it seems you are too late now. After I had ordered there were 4 in stock. It was going faaaasssttttt!

I'm having a strange issue. I am using a switch (2hp switch) 2 switch between CV pitch sources, one being the marbles X output. For some reason it seems like I am getting consistently flat notes (about 25 cents) coming from the output of the switch, but only when it is set to output from the Marbles (not other sources). However, when I hook up the X output directly it seems to stay closer to pitch. I've checked this with a tuner.

Being a newbie myself, is there any reason why my 2 HP switch might relay CV differently when its taking V/Oct from the two different sources? Maybe something about the pitch output on the Marbles that could be different from say my Analog Four?

A short jam using Marbles and Stages.

Halfway through I manually turn the Rate and Jitter knobs up to create more stacked/busy passages.

Plaits, Plonk, Mangrove, and Basilimus all go through the Lofi Junky and then out to Magneto. The first 3 voices are sequenced by Marbles. The Basilimus is sequenced by Metropolis. Stages acts as an LFO (x2) and EG.

Intro/Outro/middlepart Plaits, sequenced by Marbles, Plonk sequenced by Marbles, 2HP Pluck sequenced by Marbles, Bass trough Stages, E352 through Stages and some others more...

a chilling track

Might have been covered, but using Marbles to control the Model CV on Plaits is amazing. Use the a combination of the CV spread and bias to determine which specific models are selected. As spread is turned up, you can get it to jump between the melodic and noise/percussion models really easily.

Best use was dialing in the BD/Snare/Hat/Rings models with marbles sending gates in the random divide/multiply mode. You can use the other CV outs to modulate the decay and timbre for some very cool random beats.

Is it Marbles sold out all over Europe???

Just ordered one from Big City Music in the USA. They have them in stock, although I don't know how many they have.

Managed to order whilst drunk from modularsynthesizers.nl - very new to eurorack, but loving Marbles so far!

This is from my first session:

And here it is playing Rings, Clouds, and my 0-Coast.

Anyone noticed that changing the clock multiplication/division as well as turning the tempo knob (while receiving clock) makes it go out of sync? It's still synced to the clock it receives, but the starting point is not. A reset input would be useful I guess.

Any workarounds to get it back in sync when performing changes like this?

How does Marbles react to irregular external clocks for example if you send in random bursts of triggers?

is this solved ? i am thinking about buying the Module.

There’s discussion about it on the proper Mutable board. I had the issue a few times. There’s no solution truly but resetting the other things around it. It’s not a big deal for what I do.

Try changing length if it bothers you and see if it works out.

Is it on E,+, or Ah?

Which input? T or X?

What would you suspect the module is doing or not doing?

Still on order from Perfect Circuit. Anyone have info on when the next batch will go out?

Listening to Mylar Melodies' interview with Olivier.

Had we already talked about Marbles' hidden modes? If you hold T down for 3-4 seconds on each color, you get a different rhythm generation algorithm. I didn't know this. Also, I thought hidden things were evil!
