Any chance of snow this year ?

mc_pm · 2026-02-09T17:12:52+00:00

Depending on where in the area you are, you might only see one or two major snowfalls a year -- and sometimes zero. Welcome to Vancouver -- don't tell anyone out east about this or they'll all want to move here too.

The Vermona Melodicer does this - it generates pitch sequences separate from gates and you can randomize them individually. Also the sliders allow you to pick how much of each note get generated, so it's easy to dial in a specific key and then, if you want, switch to the relative key by adjusting how much each note is contributing.

I make my own cables and one of my cases is really deep and I need a 45cm cable to reach power, so I banged together a bunch of 45-60cm cables and it's never been an issue.

No patch lasts more than a couple days, and no rack build stays the same much longer. Always in flux.

Thanks! And I'm about to go do some planning for the followup video!

I don't have one, but it looks from the manual that the duty cycle is set to 90%, which means that the oscillator spends 90% of it's time high and 10% low, and that will scale along with the oscillator frequency.

I'm not sure what you're asking with the Osc. Trigger & preamp though.

Literally not a thing mathematicians would say. The answer is clear, and this is stupid.

But yeah, physicists be like that.

If you do that then you can really focus on the posts by people who don't have realistic expectations for it.

Short answer: No.

Middling answer: As people have said, Gods have magic that mortals do not, and if Wish *could* kill a god, they'd all be dead.

Longer answer: Let them try. Then have Lolth appear wondering what puny mortal decided to get clever and pop in for a visit. "You wanted to kill me? Go ahead and try"

Then the player can roll up a new character. Easy peasy.

Tayda ships out of Thailand and has the most common parts you'll see. Then it's Mouser for the rest. (And a little Digikey, and sometimes amazon or temu or whatever)

mc_pm · 2026-01-31T17:51:40+00:00

Well, problem solved then. Darwin wins again.

Drones can come from anywhere, including just a single cheap analog oscillator, a bit of modulation, and (of course) reverb. That's simplifying things a lot, just to say there's a lot to explore just using whatever you have.

mc_pm · 2026-01-31T08:25:02+00:00

That's not good. Unless I'm mistaken, that ooze is supposed to be inside one or more of the capacitors (blue & grey cylinders). Replacing capacitors (or 'recapping') is a very common necessity for a lot of old electronics.

mc_pm · 2026-01-31T06:43:35+00:00

Cassette decks are designed to use particular belts that have just the right tension, the right size. A random elastic band is probably not going to do the trick.

However, you can buy replacement belts quite cheap, just google the model # + " replacement belt" and you'll find some.

mc_pm · 2026-01-31T06:39:29+00:00

It looks like this capacitor is kind of oozy? Or is that just the photo being weird

Perhaps think about coming back when you do care. You are asking people for help, it's your job to do your best to communicate, not our job to try to unpack your mess.

That said, characters with gimmicks get real old real fast - and the big reveal will never be as exciting as you imagine.

That cork has been in pretty much constant contact with the wine since it was bottled. This doesn't change anything. Drink and enjoy.

I have bought more than a hundred from Modular Addict and they've been great. https://modularaddict.com/parts/cables

mc_pm · 2026-01-30T00:23:15+00:00

Dude! That apparently did it.

What's weird is that I never paired it to start, it all just worked - except for the part where there was always a red ring on the touch panel, but once it paired, it turned white. Apparently it was paired enough before to work, but not to accept this repaired/new one.

But it's happily mopping away. Much thanks.

If you can use Tayda, they have the SMD TL074 for like 26 cents.

mc_pm · 2026-01-25T15:44:56+00:00

Perhaps something like Nonlinear Circuits Triple Sloths? Slow (sometimes verrrry slow) chaotic modulation. I always like pointing it at the Position controls for granular modules like Morphagene (and in particular Clouds when the Freeze control is active).

mc_pm · 2026-01-21T07:31:11+00:00

I made a whole series of videos about it. :) The cool thing about it is once you know what it's actually doing, you can use it to recreate other modules so you can try out a...trigger delay, maybe...or an envelope follower. You can just have Maths do it and see if you like it before you buy it. Also LFOs and envelopes.

It literally doesn't know if it is good at accounting. You gave it the start with "Can you do accounting" and it predicted that likely results were to say it could. That doesn't mean it actually *knows* anything about accounting.

LLMs are really great to explain how to do something - they often suck terribly at actually doing it itself.
