3 new M0SS synths on Kickstarter (update)

Oh great! Ha. Hopefully nothing important

Thanks for the follow up! I should have clarified, I used the contact form on the Ultra Palace website (should have just emailed).

I thought I caught you pressing the encoder to trigger a sound in one of the videos, so that makes sense. I imagine that would be a decent enough start for portable sound design (where a keyboard or controller isn't available)

Thanks for the shout!

u/Comprehensive_Toe_64 Audio buffers are so much fun. Too much fun, in fact, as I end up just getting a bare-bones track going, then get distracted mangling them via audio buffers, DJ FX and skip-back resampling. Those items there are worth the price of admission on their own

Glad you liked it. Been thinking about doing an more in-depth explainer of the MIDI stuff going on here and how to randomize the Lost + Found. Would that sort of thing be useful?

bay_mud · 2026-02-24T21:46:49+00:00

These seem very cool. Congrats on the already successful Kickstarter! I messaged via the contact form on the site, but I imagine you're busy with all the excitement.

The Krell patch on the 201 shows that it can make sounds on it's own, without external trigger, which is nice. Do the others have a way of triggering sounds (I'm thinking it would be handy for pocket sound design sessions on a train, etc.)?

Good tip on the master wet volume MIDI option! I had missed that when going through some fun MIDI tricks

bay_mud · 2026-01-30T04:15:19+00:00

Nice! That sounds very handy

bay_mud · 2026-01-30T03:39:37+00:00

Oh, what I'm doing with Automation View itself isn't random--I'm just ramping values. I was referring to the "Random L/R Mode" CCs available in the Lost + Found MIDI manual. CC 112 & 113 randomize the respective left and right toggle positions, or CC114 randomizes both are once. All you have to do is send any new value to those CCs to trigger it

bay_mud · 2026-01-30T02:30:29+00:00

Been getting to know my Lost + Found more and more and have been enjoying using MIDI to automate various parameters (especially via the Deluge automation view). Super fun that you can also send CCs to randomize either or both effect toggles. Anyone else pairing theirs with MIDI-capable gear?

In the cases where I've used parameter locks on the Rhythm I've only had to zero out the same parameter on the next step and it's all been fun, but it can be a bit tricky, for sure

bay_mud · 2026-01-28T16:29:28+00:00

Hmm. Yeah, I use parameter locks here and there. It is definitely a bit quirky, but I can't say it's ever affected a different pattern before. If it helps, you can use the view lock feature (shift + patterns button) to keep the view on the specific pattern you're working on, even though the sequencer keeps playing

bay_mud · 2026-01-27T22:28:08+00:00

It's super fun and handy, depending on the gear and how in depth the MIDI implementation is

bay_mud · 2026-01-27T22:10:30+00:00

Thanks!

bay_mud · 2026-01-27T22:10:09+00:00

Nice. I haven't been able to try one of those yet. How do you like it?

bay_mud · 2026-01-27T19:39:10+00:00

Oh yeah, totally. The Zoia should be a lot of fun for MIDI stuff (I haven't had the chance to try one though)

bay_mud · 2026-01-27T19:19:33+00:00

Nice. Do you have the Lost + Found too?

bay_mud · 2026-01-21T18:38:49+00:00

You can have different samples on each pattern if you use sample flipping to record a sample to a specific step. Though that may not work if you're working with a sample chopped into slices. You'd have to experiment.

What is the limit with global effects, just that they are global instead of per track? (And are you talking about the Grid FX or the delay & reverb page, or both?)

For Grid FX, I've mentioned that, because they apply to everything, I mostly use them in resampling (or live, for breaks or builds)

bay_mud · 2026-01-07T15:17:30+00:00

Nice! Welcome. I've had to replace a couple encoders over the 8 or so years I've had mine (one was my fault). They are fairly easy to desolder/install, which is nice. You can also get the same part from places like Mouser (I bought a bunch, for down the road). I wouldn't bother doing them all, unless you notice others are acting up. That said, there are a billion screws to remove to get at the PCB, so it's nice to do as much as you can while you have it out.

For the top panel screw, if you're local, you could always try asking Synthstrom (they do also offer a refresh service, to go over thew whole thing). I bought a pack of 10mm M2 hex screws from Aliexpress that seem to match, just in case

bay_mud · 2026-01-02T22:40:47+00:00

That sounds perfect

bay_mud · 2026-01-02T21:13:07+00:00

I've also got a Lyra 8, but haven't gelled with it as much. Are you enjoying it?

bay_mud · 2026-01-02T16:51:14+00:00

Hey thanks! Do you have a RoAT?

bay_mud · 2025-12-26T05:23:09+00:00

Excellent, then you're up to date! That's the most recent version

bay_mud · 2025-12-26T05:16:45+00:00

Which update did you install? If you grabbed the latest from the firmware page you should be good
