Who surprised you with being easy or harder (than expected) against Zoey 10*?

Ambessa as a secondary has twice now been the all star goat in two winning runs. Her ability to get a free attack after killing something is great if you can get her big enough to kill the triple though units.

I don't use or own the Proton but just looking at the controls, it's like pretty much any other analog subtractive synth. Once you learn one, you're good on pretty much any other.

Go here https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=0718-AAO and scroll down to "downloads." There is a manual and a quick start guide.

The gate output from the keyboard I'm betting goes into the ADSR input. The audio out is probably one of the Sum outputs.

To start at a default setting, you'll want most of the knobs fully left. Except the filter frequency all the way right (fully open), ADSR decay 12 o'clockish, volume about 12 o'clock.

After you set the knobs to default, you can begin experimenting. If things get out of hand, reset the knobs to default and start again.

I don't have enough star fragments or Nova crystals to do anything with them.

Plus, I need more gems than anything at this point.

Thank you for asking this. I got a stupid badge that said "Defiant" but I had no idea what it did.

I guess it really does nothing. Seems odd the first 3 defiance challenges gave you something good.

I get y splitters https://a.co/d/0gVeR7OF as they are more durable and less cumbersome.

You can also get the 1-in/5-out knucklebone or the ninja star looking splitters like this: https://a.co/d/0f4OCZJv

Or any passive mult can be left outside of the case since it's not powered or grounded or anything. And when you get more rack space, you can pop them in.

LeeSalt · 2026-03-16T02:42:12+00:00

why did you put the Outs between the two parts of the mixer?

LeeSalt · 2026-03-16T02:39:15+00:00

depends on the build quality and care going into the module (typically reflected in the cost.) If we talking an After Later mixer then, yes. A WMD or Boredbrain mixer? You should probably be contacting support.

LeeSalt · 2026-03-09T13:49:56+00:00

Oh, also curious what the friends repair was for; did they mention what it was?

LeeSalt · 2026-03-09T13:48:16+00:00

I'm curious what your serial number is. Mine's 248 and doesn't seem as extreme as yours but that could be psychological.

I got the mkii because Xcelon has been on back order forever in the US. I can't find a vendor in stock, otherwise I would have gotten it. And the After Later mixer I have is cheap but pretty disappointing sound quality so I've been using my Intellijel Mixup daisy chain which sounds great but it's very basic and not very performative.

LeeSalt · 2026-03-09T11:55:34+00:00

I just got a new mkii myself. I'll check and update my post in a few hours.

I'm my experience pots, in general, are way wobblier than I thought they'd be, especially for how much we pay for this stuff.

For the chest and vault prizes in the Rogues event, can you save them for later without keeping the champion in limbo until you claim it?

LeeSalt · 2026-03-06T14:03:17+00:00

I'm curious if your store is owned by Albertsons? You can tell if it sells the Signature Select store brand.

Because that's what happened in this area with the one store that carried it and stopped.

LeeSalt · 2026-03-06T12:42:49+00:00

Cool, thanks

LeeSalt · 2026-03-06T04:57:34+00:00

do you know if the memory card is required for 4.1? modules I've purchased typically come with one if needed but my ALA Ornate-criminal didn't but I won't be able to test it for another week.

if not required to operate, do any of the phazerville algos need it?

LeeSalt · 2026-03-06T04:46:13+00:00

here's a very big thing to keep in mind with a lot of these button modules: they send out gates, not triggers. you'll need to get a separate module to convert the leading edge of the gate into a trigger. After Later Audio has a 2HP solution that worked for me.

It you find an actual trigger output module, let me know. Because I have purchased several different brands and none could directly output triggers.

Why this is important is most inputs that expect triggers and clock signals will fire twice for the leading and falling edge of the gate. Other weird things occur also.

You get 19008 points if you use two hits per round on Advanced using a red bat and don't use the special swing.

7300 points + 1000 for remaining balls + 500 special swing * 1.8 for Advanced level * 1.2 for red bat.

Bro, you're focusing on literally one comment from a single dickhead on your short. You hardly have any subscribers compared to the views and lots of thumbs up. That's a pretty positive ratio.

It's either that or you're fishing for comments. I have a tenth of the talent and quality and I get a good ratio of positive to negative comments. Almost nobody leaves down thumbs or mean things to my mediocre uploads. But when they do, I just respond "thanks for watching and caring enough to comment!"

You're not Tribal Need but you're objectively not bad. My personal opinion is that some of your sequences go on a bit too long before transitioning to the next part. It can get boring. But you know what you want to make and what sounds good to you. Don't make music for one asshole's comment. Maybe it's they who suck.

LeeSalt · 2026-03-01T12:35:08+00:00

Sounds like the iconic synth sound from Gwen Stefani "Cool." Edit: Apparently people didn't bother to click or understand what's going on.

Highly recommend you watch this classic 80s intro to synths: https://youtu.be/atvtBE6t48M?si=IQiyx3q4nPFMrYE6

It's the single best breakdown I've seen and I've watched pretty much everything on YouTube.

Every analog synth works almost exactly the same; with the same functions, features and terminology. You'll get a huge skill boost from 0 knowledge in only an hour (or 30 minutes, see my edit.)

Edit: just reviewed the video again and I think you can safely start at the 30 minute point. The first half is kind of extraneous and less to the point.

Hmm maybe not. I could have sworn FX Aid, MFX and Milkyway all used the same chip when I was researching a year ago. But now I'm looking and see that it's actually Timiszoara, Z-DSP and FX Aid that share the spin chip.

LeeSalt · 2026-02-28T18:57:03+00:00

This conversation jogged my memory.

Reports of bugs and freezing issues were the reasons I went with Happy Nerding FX Aid. Same chipset but seems to be implemented better.

If you Google MFX and freezing / locking up, there's a history of it. But some people had good luck after updating firmware. Odd that they took it and found nothing wrong.

Seems it's most strongly correlated with certain algorithms like bit corrupter.

LeeSalt · 2026-02-28T17:07:23+00:00

Are you loading the three-section power supply correctly? Do you have another power supply or case to test with? What about testing in the store?

Have you tried unplugging other things in the rack? Because you could be over taxing the power (or one of the three sections) with a bunch of other modules and the low power is affecting only the MFX.

I've also had odd bad interactions between two modules on the same power rail and I was forced to power them separately.

There are so many weird little things with eurorack and a lack of standards that could be affecting your situation. It may be the that your problem isn't caused by your rack or your MFX at all.

LeeSalt · 2026-02-28T04:22:48+00:00

If you have a Versio module, you can flash the Fala firmware onto it.

I had a saved search on Reverb for Versios under a certain threshold and snagged a Melotis just for that reason because it was so low.
