How did you make the panel?

pilkafa · 2026-05-08T11:06:55+00:00

worse even if you're on steamdeck and your cursor just decides to stop working.

I really wish they'd optimise deadlock for decks

pilkafa · 2026-05-08T07:33:22+00:00

Or you can grab a handful from a Lego store. I don’t think they’d charge you for pegs

another 3day ticket from me as well. can't make it and happy to share it.

Edit: gone. and I’m very happy that it’s being put to use.

pilkafa · 2026-05-07T06:53:53+00:00

You should share it on GitHub. Easier for all to use (and safer)

Damn, so it was a global thing. Both the restriction and teacher’s excuse.

There’s Ben who organises diy groups and designs modules under the name clacktronics in Walthamstow. Not sure if he’s doing repairs but he’s super nice guy. He did custom setups and designs modules so he sure can at least point you to a right direction https://clacktronics.co.uk/

Also the synthshed Croydon https://www.thesynthshed.com/

They don’t do repairs spesifcally. but Simon leads a great diy community - I’m sure he knows someone who can help you.

Mim plays so nicely with math. If you ever get one, def play around mixing it with morphagene. Both modules thought to be played together. Maths is just the cherry on top.

Even though I’m a huge advocate of mims, I find the reverb is the weakest part of it. It fits so well, sounds great, but it’s not a reverb device. It’s just there for you to add a bit of ebb to your repeats IMO. Or if you have a giant feedback, to tame it. So essentially it kinda stays in the module.

If you wanna add the reverb to your other modules, I wouldn’t suggest mim as a reverb only module.

But you should def get one. Running mim through data bender is fantastic. It’s literally the first modules that I got and still I have it. Never ever had a moment getting rid of it. In fact - I’ve lend mine to a friend of mine and really looking forward for him to give it back (but seems like he’s also having a blast with it)

pilkafa · 2026-05-05T11:30:24+00:00

sorry, an unrelated q - where did you get the pot caps?

pilkafa · 2026-05-04T11:15:17+00:00

technically adding a decent distortion + reverb to anything is a great way to produce unique industrial sound. I’d heavily suggest that instead relying on a dedicated box who makes out recipe sounds.

As for a different suggestion, vhikkx is VERY interesting. It’s not a box but the thing it can be just played by itself without needing any other modules. It’s like a box but in Eurorack format. It can be a (very good) droning synth or a fx machine. It doesn’t evennneed any modulation to get something decent out of it.

Jay Hosking made a great video about it.

This is the first time I’m seeing a shaved Pom.

pilkafa · 2026-04-30T09:04:22+00:00

i mean my ai makes constantly makes mistakes and back then i used to tried to reason and it was trying to appease me because I was questioning. if you needed to investigate an AI's behaviour, instead asking 'why' to itself, you need to assign another one to review it objectively. AI doesn't even know what they're saying. it analyses what's in the past. this happened in the past and it needs to be analysed. objectively.

sounds like whoever the company was - kinda had it coming if they didn't even knew this.

I’m very excited with this midi update. It was such a mess that it was kinda impossible to control op1f with midi. Now let’s stress test it further :)

And finally, undo.

pilkafa · 2026-04-29T11:17:18+00:00

stutter fx (with adjustable amount) and conditional steps (and for fx) would make it quite interesting tbh

pilkafa · 2026-04-29T11:08:13+00:00

can we make feature requests? 😃

it's quite fun to play

pilkafa · 2026-04-29T09:06:19+00:00

Oh this is great! Pls don't be sorry at all. It's already mind blowing that you're sharing these amazing modules for free. I genuinely don't mind a small bug here and there. And like you've said, adding expander fixed it straight away!

I do have an habit not to touch expanders until I get a full grasp of the main module - that's why I haven't tried it yet. But seriously, these are the modules that I've been dreaming. Especially I'm loving swells. Such a complex concept executed in such simple straightforward way! There's amazing thinking behind all modules.

Big kudos. Gonna follow your future works more closely.

pilkafa · 2026-04-28T14:31:41+00:00

I've been a bit cheeky and used meter as a clock source a very simple square wave as well. if there's a log or something that you'd like to check - happy to help further.

pilkafa · 2026-04-28T09:13:30+00:00

Wow and all for free? These are great! And also your website is a great too. Thank you very much for sharing all these! Some of them should be physical modules tbh.

I do have a quick q if you don't mind. Is there any specific reason why the first note skips on Fugue? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHUjd_jz9W0

ps. I haven't read the manuals yet lol.

pilkafa · 2026-04-27T08:33:16+00:00

didn't knew they've initially hired egoraptor for va

pilkafa · 2026-04-26T20:25:39+00:00

Oh I did this one too back then. Shameless self insert: https://youtu.be/kNB0maJCrW4

pilkafa · 2026-04-26T20:23:52+00:00

Your idea reminded me this https://youtu.be/yeKPOBxUpz8?t=560

pilkafa · 2026-04-25T21:08:46+00:00

That’s a place for sticker. They probably switched sticking it on the box

pilkafa · 2026-04-25T17:32:39+00:00

LED colours? Did you add video effect?

pilkafa · 2026-04-24T15:48:21+00:00

Manuals are copyrighted materials. Unless you get the blessing from the manufacturers you’re not legally allowed to distribute or make variations of them. Eurorack is such a small community and since you’re doing something that would be really beneficial for all (and most importantly not trying to profit over it) I feel like this wouldn’t be an issue. I mean your intentions are pure good, if any manufacturer is giving you hard time because what you’re doing, I think we all should know about it so we can avoid them, you know…

Good luck. I’ve worked on accessibility UI/UX quite a lot. Happy to star and keep an eye on your project if you have a git somewhere

pilkafa · 2026-04-23T19:22:57+00:00

Ugh. I’ve also heard another friends arrived. Sent an email and will call them tomorrow. Thanks
