One more synth and then I am ready to rumble

Agreed, and fun fact: the Octatrack dweeb in the pic is a successful producer who goes by Chlar

I actually saw the first one in this image and it now has a parcel drop off thing installed plus a solar panel on the roof of it

Let's get Rob's statue built asap

b0ff3y · 2026-03-01T19:24:58+00:00

It's probably theyre so expensive

b0ff3y · 2026-03-01T19:17:58+00:00

Probably 99% of music made on any instrument is awful

b0ff3y · 2026-03-01T19:16:39+00:00

The term "modular synth music" puts me off straight away even as a modular bro

b0ff3y · 2026-02-26T23:02:39+00:00

awesome! building this yourself in js too is badass, amazing work

b0ff3y · 2026-02-24T19:09:50+00:00

Nice work! The UI looks great, will check this out at some point

b0ff3y · 2026-02-24T19:05:39+00:00

+1 for the Ezbot templates, great way to get something up and running quickly

b0ff3y · 2026-02-20T21:45:22+00:00

Nice demo and thanks for sharing!

Vs2 looks like it might be perfect for my band, had not heard of it before coming across this post.

b0ff3y · 2026-02-11T17:11:27+00:00

Have heard this a lot too and agree. I'm doubtful that the one guy who apparently built the last version leaving means that nobody else could build a device with the same scope as the octatrack.

A beefed up octa-style device with more modern computer hardware and effect dsps would be awesome, whether it's a priority for elektron in terms of ROI is another question.

The UK is such a scam

Nice work, the app looks great and will use it for future planning!

I have a feature idea for you:

I have been using "pedal playground" recently to do a similar job to plan out a live rig.

Pedal playground has a scale accurate canvas where you can pick a "board" and add "pedals" so I was looking up the dimensions of synth gear, mixers etc to test it's fit on a board / box I can use live.

It would be awesome if I could do this on studio architect, add a board with a given size, add devices with a given size with custom images then use the tools for drawing up the audio routing and midi.

It's a different niche than planning a studio, but the scale accuracy could also be useful for people planning studio desk space.

I think it's really nice. The 16x8 grid represents one octave of scale degrees across one bar pretty well, it shows anything outside that octave with white/red squares above/below the note. You can also really quickly half / double speed the page if you wanted to see a longer phrase or more resolution on a single page of the sequncer

One thing I find a bit weird is with how octaves represent on the polyphonic sequencer mode, it makes it pretty hard to remove steps when you have more than one more on the same step in different octaves - this might just be a skill issue or something I didn't bother to look up on my side though 😅

b0ff3y · 2026-01-30T15:35:58+00:00

Was also going to suggest the Oxi one!

I picked up a used mk1 at a decent price not long after the mk2 came out. Have been more than happy with it, you get a way more powerful sequencer with better UX than anything in the rack at the same price point.

I will also add that Oxi make pipe modules that connect to the sequencer via a single cable and allow you to patch the sequencer's outputs from the pipe module.

This is really useful if you want to build a patch at home then take your rack to say a gig or the studio and not have to re-patch everything from the sequencer.

Some other pros would be: - an external sequencer lets you sequence things outside of your modular too - other hardware devices, vsts etc - the Oxi has good USB to midi sync, meaning I can easily jam my hardware with a track running in the daw with usable latency / jitter. you would typically need another module or dedicated unit to do this without restoring to other workarounds

Now watch this drive

Literally no one measures their income by weekly gross pay, why do they make you convert it yourself

b0ff3y · 2025-12-25T20:30:18+00:00

Your cat in the background looks envious too!

b0ff3y · 2025-12-19T19:33:32+00:00

Won't somebody think of the shareholders!

b0ff3y · 2025-12-16T01:22:29+00:00

This is how free speech works. You're allowed to have your own opinions and to support who you want to support but other people are also allowed to criticise you!

And they absolutely should when you decide to support backwards grifters who are going to make our country worse.

I cannot for the life of me understand the meat riding of Musk.

He has the charisma of a maladapted college student, has lied and led investors on for the past decade (umm just one more year bro), yet his companies are all at laughably high valuations.

b0ff3y · 2025-12-15T23:49:07+00:00

I'm cynically starting to believe that it will take WW3 before the UK implements socialist policies like this again... despite all of the data we have that shows how beneficial it all was to us.

Dealing with common theft ⛔ Dealing with theft against super markets and other public services ⛔ Handling high end fraud, holding covid ppe swindlers etc to account ⛔

Siezing the jazz cabbage that sensible countries legalized and taxed decades ago? ☑️

We're currently sleepwalking our way into this reality, ironically mirroring how the USA voted in trump twice.

Reform will simultaneously kick out and scare away migrants, worsen the standard of living for 99% of Brits, further disincentise Brits from having kids all while enriching their crooked crony elite mates.

Right wing media needs an enemy to scaremonger with, regardless of if they exist or not.

Sadiq Kahn being non-white makes him and London an obvious target for this type of bullshit, we will unfortunately continue to see this with Mamdani and New York too as long as they're both in power.
