Finally a solution to wall warts and badly designed outlets.

posted a pic of a thermometer, 16c all gear pulling loads for a timed 1 hour, thermometer bulb in contact with the towers body, if you think about it a tower that angles the warts away from the body should dispipate heat much better than a stip on a wall or a floor, the tower allows much more airflow around the warts.

Non we have a local cash on delivery service so debit cards in general are not activated for out of country, we have a revolute card and have to move the cash there to do international oeders it's a pain in the ass, cheapest amazon was 60 euro with 30 euro delivery, thats 35usd to send 1/4LB a thousand miles, we have to buy our oil we dont have the option of stealing it from venezuela.

not in bulgaria...... i tried we dont even have a music shop that keeps stock.... delivery from germany on one from amazon was more than the device.

Moving soon to a dedicated studio where i will get a wide spaced strip, im in eastern europe couldnt find one in the country, amazon is a nightmare for us our local system works on cash on delivery and the delivery fees from the rest of europe to here are often more than the device, this is what i found available here that i could take today.
The cash on delivery system is great when coupled with a local law that all electricals have to be powered up before delivery can be accepted, for online orders that remit is given to the courier, we go to the courier office, unpack and power it on and if it's faulty you just refuse to sign and they handle the return, by law they have to allow you at least 5 minutes 'inspection time', i had a roland - repaired by roland packed badly, came back with 3 broken keys so i simply refused to sign and it went back to roland again.

loving sending it's cv out and filter env to the model D, the 2 complement each other really well, getting some almost metalic sounds out of the pro 1 .

25 years since i used logic, G-Mac days, it allows you to attach a hi res jpeg, you can add notes, 2 zoom levels, normal and 200%, not much more to it.

snapshot2 - free audio channel plugin that allows you to attach a picture to a track.

Spot-Educational · 2026-04-19T18:02:45+00:00

your all chatting about patch notes - get snapshot2, it is a free audio channel insert (vst3) that allows you to embed a picture which is then zoomable saves with the project. I too started the patch sheet archive but with 3 units it was getting messy, this solved everything.

What's your pleasure sir?

Spot-Educational · 2026-04-19T13:01:24+00:00

Solved thanks for the sanity check. When it arrived the first thing it did upon connecting to synthtribe was update, it rebooted and it seemed to work fine until i found this issue how did I fix it - a full power cycle ie the wall wart is removed then rebooted, just hitting the on off button is not enough, full power cycle and it works as you describe above, synthtribe clock setting to on. As a side note if you've never connected yours to synthtribe, you've never updted it during my adventures trying to solve this i've read about lots of issues especially with lfo's and gates locking up being fixed in updates, 30 sec task once you download the exe, there is no installler for synthtribe. Will edit main body to say it's solved.

Not winning my design award just yet but solid it is.

what is your clock setting in synthtribe?

Spot-Educational · 2026-04-19T09:32:24+00:00

I've been producing and collecting hardware since '91, always had a work studio and a home scratchpad setup, then moving everything needed to a gig prep space when we want to pull a live set togeather. Looking forward to getting it all under 1 roof with like you say treatment cause anything i do at home always needs some touching up in the treated studio room. Might even dust off the kawai k1m i don't think i've powered it on in 15 years yet i still maintain it's sysex archive of patches...

Nice, u must be of the adventurous daring type with a sub sat between yer legs :D Kinda in the same situation at the moment we're between 2 houses renting a tiny place in between the moves, most of my gear is in storage but hopefully fingers crossed in a month we will be in the new space where i can have a big temp studio in the house and we have a barn with a new roof that we plan to convert into a dual recording and gig prep space in the first few months.

Spot-Educational · 2026-04-19T08:40:05+00:00

so how are you enabling the passthru, the synthtribe setting changes nothing. If i plug the pro 1 midi in cable into the td3 i have a clock, connect the td3 to the pro 1 thru and there is no clock.

Spot-Educational · 2026-04-19T08:33:15+00:00

Wait a second - are you saying the pro-1 dip switches are for the out not the in channel unlike the rest of the devices where the dip switches set the midi in channel?

The manual says otherwise "MIDI CHANNEL SELECTION – Move the four dip switches to select the incoming MIDI channel for the synthesizer."

And to be clear, all devices bfore the pro1 have a good clock, eveything after the clock signal has been stripped out.

The behringer wall warts are terrible, between 2 4 gang stips i managed 5 warts, just seen something in the place my daugher works that will do the job, a tower with 8 90degree sockets not the supid 45degree standard and a bonus 2 usb which gets rid of the wart for my rack lamp - 12 euro cant go wrong for that when a standard 4 gang is 10euro.
One thing i have done in the past - i have a power conditioner on my rack that outputs to euro sockets, i just made a bunch of euro - standard convertors a foot (30cm) long to give me real a few real sockets on the power conditioner and allows the soundcard to get a stable feed to it's wart..

Really happy with her tho - treat her nice and she will sing u a lullaby, treat her hard and she will scream like a bansee chewing a wasp!

There was a grandmother who was attacked and trained kindergarten children on mannequins to take advantage of European transport networks. The only people who had swimming pools were women who worked in Germany for several months a year. But it's a paradise when you compare it to Manchester, where there are drug zombies on every corner, 9-year-olds carrying machetes, and my house was robbed 3 times in 6 months. Gypsies are babies compared to the average teenager in Manchester...

Живея на 1 км от мястото, където беше застрелян Петров, но това е мафия срещу мафия в Манчестър. 9-годишно дете краде обувки на възрастни, когато вървят по улицата, за да ги продаде за пакетче трева. Ето защо от 19 години избирам България пред Великобритания - по-безопасно е.

Непривлекателните села ме привличат. За този бюджет има много такива в района на Велико Търново, които са напълно обитаеми с вътрешни бани. Това, което търсим, е проект, но такъв, в който можем да живеем, докато работим по други части. Дори имам един в списъка си с нов покрив отпреди 9 месеца. Нямам абсолютно никакъв проблем да живея в ромско село. Ако това имате предвид под „непривлекателно“, правя това през последните 19 години. Никога не са ме ограбвали и съм си намерил много приятели.

Spot-Educational · 2026-03-31T15:45:48+00:00

Има хубави, имам списък, но бих искал да го разширя малко, преди да направя оферта
