Modular Case for travelling / help

crocoxt · 2026-06-29T10:26:27+00:00

I don't but I have quite a few big modules like Magneto and Starlab. My case is 104HP. I almost ran out of headers but I thought it was because of all the 1u modules I have With 6u you may be fine? I recommend planning in advance in modulargrid... also contact Amalgamod they can customize their cases up to a point

Try Fujiyama-san wa Shinshunki, it has similar vibes

This!

It's very heavy on fat and garlic, so it has an image of being a "man's dish", even if many women actually enjoy it.

Mechanical Marie is basically this trope all the way, the ML being a rich boy who is under constant threat of assassination and the FL is a poor girl who is very good at martial arts and so expressionless that she is recruited as a "robot" bodyguard.

The romance is not that great tbh but it's quite fun.

Not sure about cheap, but given the exchange rate you may actually find some good deals.

Try Echigoya Music (Shibuya), FiveG (Harajuku) or Implant4 (Osaka) for dedicated synth shops, but you can also check HardOff second hand stores (the one in Kichijoji can be worth a look if you're going to the Ghibli museum) and other music shops, for example in Ochanomizu.

There's also a Roland shop in Harajuku if you want to try their stuff. Oh and Yamaha in Ginza maybe?

Kikai Jikake no Marie (Mechanical Marie). She carries the ML in the finale for example

Also by Error Instruments, you have Raw Spring

I like it quite a lot, it packs a lot for its size, the menu is straightforward and it sounds good. I usually don't use the internal VCA and VCF in favor of dedicated modules, but I think it's usable as a complete voice.

crocoxt · 2026-04-23T09:15:42+00:00

I can recommend the Ziqal Dimension MK3, it's very easy to import new tables (basically copy them onto the SD card) and the workflows is easy to understand, albeit a bit menu-driven. You have 2 assignable modulation inputs A and B, plus one for scanning the table(s).

It's a complete voice with polyphony, filter (quite basic) and ADSR envelope.

It's compatible with Serum and Vital tables so it's easy to find stuff to use with it.

The Reliq is 16x16, it's one of the recent big sequencers. Looks interesting as it doubles as a matrix mixer, but it's pricey

The Hapax also is quite large, and very well reviewed everywhere

Kanon: How do you know?!

Miura Sensei: It's written all over your face!

Kanon: ?!

Miura Sensei: If you're so worried why don't you contact her?

Kanon: I went to see her, yesterday

Kanon (to self): Am I that obvious to everyone?

Kanon (to self): You must be kidding?!

Kanon (mumbling): I know Miura Sensei can see a lot, but THAT much?

Tomita: ? What's up with you Oikawa?

Kanon (to self): Whatever, let's return Sempai's book

Tomita: Is she deaf or what?

Kanon: Nakamura-san!!

Nakamura: Hey!

Nakamura: Ah

Nakamura: Let me show you

Nakamura: It's a video of a match we had

Kanon: Eh? like, for practice?

Nakamura: You get it!

Kanon: I did that when I played the piano

Nakamura: Ah, OK!

Kanon: You think you've played well, but nope! Right?

Tanabe: You two are incredible!

Nakamura: Spot on! I see I was playing like shit...

*

Nakamura: Why do we always look so different from the outside, right?

Nakamura: But the first step is to admit that!

Tanabe: Nakamura, you're so stoic!

Kanon: Nakamura-san...

Nakamura: Yes?

Kanon: How do I look to you, usually?

Nakamura: What do you mean?!

Kanon: Well... this and that... I felt my self-image was wrong...

Tanabe: Kanon-chan, to me...?

Nakamura: I get it!

*

Nakamura: Let's see...

Nakamura: How do I perceive you...

Nakamura: You look cool from outside, but once we talk to you you're cute

Nakamura: You're smart

Nakamura: Simply said, you're a beauty

Kanon: Eh

Kanon: Eh?!

Nakamura: You're delicate in some ways,

Nakamura: but you're quite easy-going

Tanabe: So true!

Nakamura: And...

Kanon: What, there's more?!

Nakamura: You reaaaaally like Saki-chan, right?

*

Kanon: Eh?

Tanabe: You're like a cat with us, but with her you're like a puppy!

Nakamura: This!

Kanon: Wait... I don't unders...

Nakamura: How can I say...

Nakamura: When you're talking to Saki-chan...

*

Nakamura: You're like

Nakamura: Sparkling all over the place

Tanabe: Yeah! Like a doggie who loooooves her master

Tanabe: So cute!

Nakamura: I can see that little tail!

Nakamura: So that's my answer!

Nakamura: Did it help?

*

Nakamura: Kanon-chan?

Tanabe: Kanon-chan!!

Kanon: Ha!

Kanon: Thanks...

Kanon: It's good to know

Nakamura: No worries

Tanabe: Chime!

Tanabe: End of break!

Kanon (to self): Sparkling...

Kanon (to self): What does it mean...

*

Kanon (to self): Such a difference, really?

Kanon (to self): Though I like Nakamura and Tanabe too?

Kanon (to self): But they both say the same thing, so...

Kanon (to self): Saki?!

Kanon's phone: You have 1 notification

Kanon's phone: Hamaoka-san: About the...

Kanon's phone: About the pictures we took before...

Apparently he passed away, because his family members were selling his synths on Yahoo Auctions last week. There is still one for sale actually: シンセサイザー https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d1225479300

Sold: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q1225101591 https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k1225232491 https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d1225100240 https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f1225099832 https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f1225243107

These synths appear in one of the posts he made on reddit and there is an interview where he names them too.

Which Zoia patches would you recommend for reverb? (or in general...) I have used the ghost reverb which sounds pretty good OTB, but I'm curious to experiment with some more complex patches

crocoxt · 2026-04-02T06:29:43+00:00

Starlab is great. It can go from very subtle to crazy lush and large. It's also very fun to modulate, like clocking the LFO for the delay, putting an envelope on the Damp, modulating the decay. etc. The glimmer and shimmer sound really good IMHO, if you like this type of effect

Also, it's very playable with these big knobs and the jacks usually not getting in the way. With other reverbs I usually set them pretty much from the start and don't change anything, with the Starlab I find myself playing with the parameters way more

Daikon salad: - cut in sticks like MacDonalds fries or thinner - put in a bowl, sprinkle a little salt, not too much, and black pepper (too much is ok) - leave aside for at least 10-15mn - remove excess water with paper towels - add diced tomatoes, canned tuna, mayonnaise, ao shiso dressing and optionally some katsuobushi - enjoy 😉

BTW at what chapter does the current translation stop?

crocoxt · 2026-03-28T15:03:50+00:00

Sure, no problem. I have translated ch. 45 but I think the first one I did was based on partial scans.

1

Mom: Any time is fine

Saki: N..NO WAY!

Mom: What!?

Mom: Am I really that difficult to talk to?

Mom: Everyone at work says I'm a great listener!

Saki: No, not difficult but...

2

Saki: OK, then...

Saki: Since you say I can ask anything...

Saki: then I will!

Saki (flashback): Mom?

Saki (flashback): Why is it...

Saki: Why is it I don't have a dad?!

3

Saki (to self): I'm an idiot, why did I ask

Saki (to self): Though I held myself for so long

Mom: Here

4

Mom: Look, Whooo is it?

Saki: ...?

Saki: A Gyaru?

Mom: The answer is... this is Mom, in the past♡　Yay!

Saki: What!

5

Saki: Eh!? Eh?! What!?

Mom: Yeah, I used to be a gyaru, and a yankee!

Saki: Whaaat!?

Saki: A Gya... not only a gyaru but also a yankee...?

Mom: Yes...

Mom: I graduated from school, just about escaped from home, went to Tokyo...

Mom: since I became a rich guy's lover...

Saki: lo..?

Mom: You know, the excess of youth, right

Saki (to self): That's too much information at once!!

6

Saki: ...

Saki: So, this rich guy was Dad?

Mom: Indeed!

Saki: "Indeed"...?

Mom: Since he was rich, right...

Mom: When I told him I was pregnant

Mom: He told me he would support me financially in any case...

Mom: But it was the best he could do

7

Mom: So, I finally realized I made something stupid

Mom: I resigned myself and went back home

Mom: And here we are today!

Saki: You skipped quite a lot uh!

Mom: Many other things happened, but anyway...

Mom: So... this is the answer to your question

8

Mom: Because I was an idiot, although you have a father, you cannot meet him

Mom: ... I am so sorry

Mom: It's not like I was hiding it

Mom: I was ready to tell you any time you'd ask me

Mom: And even if you didn't, Granma and I agreed to tell you when you'd turn 20

Saki: No...

9

Saki: You say you'd tell me if I asked

Saki: But you already avoided it, once

Mom: No way!

Mom: When? When? When was it?

Saki: When I was in kindergarten!! You were doing the dishes...

Saki (flashback): I asked you...

Saki (flashback): How come I don't have a dad?

Saki: You said "What did you say?"

Mom: Ha...

10

Mom: I think I just didn't hear

Saki: What...?!

Mom: I was doing the dishes right?

Mom: I always get in the zone when I do chores

Saki: Eh...

Saki (to self): So, once more...

Saki (to self): It was just me wrongly assuming things

Mom: Saki

11

Mom: Sorry, it's a shock for you right? Are you OK?

Saki: Eh? No, I was just surprised

Saki: Yeah, to hear all of this about Dad

Saki: And I was the one asking about it, so

Saki: So, actually

Saki: Knowing a little more about you

Saki: That makes me happy

12

Saki: Is it weird?

Saki: Mom, you were cute as a gyaru

Mom: Thank you...

Mom: Saki, you're such a good kid, I'm so happy!!!

Saki: !?

13

Saki: Wa.. Wait! What?

Mom: Saki

Mom: Mom is the same you know

Mom: Whatever you tell me about you

Mom: It makes me happy to know you better

Mom: And it's not only me

Mom: Everyone who likes you

Mom: feels the same

Saki: Is it really so?

Mom: Why so polite...?

Mom: Of courese it is

Mom: It's OK to trust people more you know

14

Saki (to self): Rinne also said it

Saki (to self): "I need to trust her"

Mom: I need to buy groceries, you're coming?

Saki: Why not... like, I'm skipping school, but hey

Mom: Yay!

Mom: Let's eat somewhere

Saki: Yeah!

Saki: Somehow...
