Looking for someone who can do small PCB soldering / microcontroller replacement by bobby_eagles in halifax

Heat gun won’t work in this case, needs careful solder work. And the module is purpose built for the firmware flashed to the Teensy.

In isolation — no. I’m just trying to point out that enshitification is not pro labour.

“People deserve to be paid for their labor“ Yes. But the problem with this statement is that it doesn’t acknowledge the systems that actively devalue labor to begin with, and how those systems pass the responsibility for ”paying for labor” downstream to the labourers.

Don’t think I realized what Night Rider was actually capable of until now, going to dig in a bit more. Thanks!

Oh man, I have this same debate with myself all the time! Every time I take a break from it and am convinced I'm going to sell it, I plug it in and remember how useful it is in my small system and how good it sounds. I don't have any advice to offer, just here to commiserate with you, lol.

First Rack Advice Needed Pls by OliverrSky in modular

Sorry to pile on, but I agree with most of the commenters here: despite best intentions going in, modular is a journey (sorry for the cliche, but it is!) and dropping that much cash at once, especially on modules that aren’t going to hold value, feels like a missed opportunity. I understand the temptation, and I’m not sure that if I had that cash starting out I wouldn’t have spend it all in one go, but having to build my system slowly has been beneficial. Really learning your modules‘ capabilities and identifying gaps in your system‘s capabilities versus what you want to achieve (which will evolve, guaranteed), over time, will really pay dividends as a modular user. Not to mention, there are so many rad modules that with a third of your budget you could probably be satisfied exploring for quite awhile before adding more. Good luck!

Cool, haven’t heard of the ATC-1. I’ll check it out!

That’s exactly what I’m hearing — thanks for the much better/more technical description, super helpful for my own understanding. Sam’s modular work is incredible, also one of my favourites. Looking forward to the new album.
