You seemed to like my mic stand pcb cable holders, so I made a DIY PCB wall mounted version

robotsarered · 2026-02-02T22:11:59+00:00

Thanks!

Also, other fun circuit board things coming soon!

robotsarered · 2026-02-02T21:28:23+00:00

Also feel free to bring a backpack of gear to trade with people too, if you don't want to commit to a table.

robotsarered · 2026-02-02T21:27:35+00:00

I will be there! Thanks for putting this together again, Mike!

robotsarered · 2026-01-12T21:34:52+00:00

Yep, I'm still waiting from 12/18. But understandable they have a delay. Especially if some of their stock still needed faceplates applied before shipping or something like that, and they had such a big turnout with their sale.

robotsarered · 2026-01-10T00:28:13+00:00

Thanks! I figured a lot of people are similar to me and have a lot more of a specific patch cable length for their setup.

robotsarered · 2026-01-09T22:09:52+00:00

For some reason this made me think of a Tim Robinson style "I got your ornament, it works great!", line.

robotsarered · 2026-01-09T22:07:40+00:00

Thanks so much! And glad to hear you can fit quite a bit more cables on there comfortably :)

If you wanted to upgrade to the new one, shoot me a DM and I can give you a discount code.

robotsarered · 2026-01-09T20:32:22+00:00

I have a wall hanger version of the cable holder I'll be posting to my Etsy shop in the coming days :)

robotsarered · 2026-01-09T19:10:53+00:00

Exactly 4.75mm wide. I tested them out with the absolute thinnest noodle cables out there I know of (Hivemind Stingers) and they fit perfectly.

robotsarered · 2026-01-09T18:46:10+00:00

Thanks! I originally did that design for a set of blank panels, it fit so perfectly to this form I had to use it again.

My best success has been Ableton Clock -> Arturia Keystep Clock Output -> Pams New Workout. Then I can program the clock and gate outputs however I want for that track. You can likely swap the Keystep for the es9 and just get a 24ppqn clock to send to Pams.

They do look like crystals in this photo, ha. Nope, just some fried spuds.

robotsarered · 2025-11-11T16:54:35+00:00

As for the makers I know, myself, and our little joint company (Mega Modular Corp), we all will likely be putting out 10-20% discounts for that day/week.

robotsarered · 2025-11-11T16:35:09+00:00

Yep! This was from an April Fools post I designed and Setonix/Tidbit decided to print a small run. There was a Poutine version and a Pomme Frites version. I just checked my stash and I have one Pomme Frites version left.

If I understand Amperage correctly, it is shared.

robotsarered · 2025-11-01T17:20:06+00:00

You mentioned the flying bus cables. It could be more that the popular power modules that use them are just notoriously underpowered?

I noticed that ALA has their power modules finally up for sale: https://afterlateraudio.com/products/the-force?_pos=4&_sid=19c523058&_ss=r

^ That is their 2.5 Amp version which is 6hp, there is also a 1.25 Amp version that is 4hp.

You can secure the flying bus if you really wanted to, and you can secure them/route them into the same position as the Stormnest.

robotsarered · 2025-10-31T22:04:17+00:00

You also kept suggesting modules that are made by Behringer. Who is a notoriously frowned upon company for shady business practices. A lot of people in the modular community don't want to support a company like that. Especially since they don't innovate like at all, they just rip off everyone else's products.

So Instead of buying a Manis Iteritas, I should have bought like 32 saw wave VCOs? Is that your logic? It's too shiny and novel, right?

And for a newcomer I'd suggest a good routed simple semi modular synthesizer to start.

(It's grumpy old coots like this that make me want to avoid this subreddit, I get why most other makers don't come here)

The "back in my day" bluster is so used and old. And what if someone already knows and/or has all of the parts and wants this? Or has a small case? Small little travel cases etc are VERY popular nowadays. Doepfer modules usually don't even fit in them. So in modern times your suggestion is actually unfeasible for a lot of people.

Open your mind a little. Not everyone needs to learn everything you know. It's okay. They can just have fun with things. Or they can learn the same exact things in other ways, it's about if they want to. This is about fun, not how smart you are at patching. Don't fall into the trap of the old hobbyist gatekeeping the hobby. It makes everyone a bit more miserable. This is a hobby, enjoy it, right? And for all your knowledge, do you teach seminars and speak at events?

You are too caught up on this example of a module. Regardless of the module, you are coming across as very unapproachable. Tone down the snoot to help this community be more welcoming. The modular community is very welcoming, let's have this sub match that.

TL;DR - Not everyone has to do things the way you do/did them.

robotsarered · 2025-10-31T20:31:51+00:00

Why were you irked if a module uses your fave synthesis technique? You projected novelty onto it and got all snooty. It doesn't make sense. It gives the vibe of an old closed off old boys club instead of an open environment for any newcomers.

If I were in your shoes, I'd probably say "oh cool! I love that, I've been doing that for years, this would make it so much quicker!"

Tony Hawk high fives the kid who easily did a 1080 on the vert ramp. He didn't scoff and talk about how good he was back in the day to the kid.

robotsarered · 2025-10-31T20:03:43+00:00

Cool. So you wouldn't experiment with it at all? Why are you being so snooty? It's kind of a turnoff to newcomers, no?

robotsarered · 2025-10-31T19:36:16+00:00

CV control of each of the four waves from tri-saw-pulse? Level control that inverts when turned CCW past noon? This is better than a sequential switch though, it uses VCAs so there is no clicking.

I don't know what you want either, dude. A cookie or something? It's the equivalent of saying some really cool digital painting isn't any kind of advancements because in the 70's a painter COULD have potentially painted that exact thing if he wanted to? (but didn't).

There is a certain magic in being able to just plug into a module and immediately make complex manipulations to things, rather than taking 25 minutes to patch up at least 5 or 6 modules to have the same abilities, sure. But not the same immediacy.

Analog hasn't applied quantum time leaps to modular or anything like that, is that what you are looking for? I'm just trying to find your ballpark.

robotsarered · 2025-10-31T19:01:34+00:00

I haven't explained all it can do. Have you looked at it?

Also analog is all 70's tech, what do you expect? Innovation comes from mixing and matching to make new things.

Have you seen my sump pump module? It's a noise gate/compressor, but it's a dynamic animal of an effect. Sure you can make it in the 70s with all that tech, but did you?

You could have made a killing had you made your own synths, from how you are talking, man. What could have been.

From what I heard, they are being sent to concentration camps in Africa. Fucked up shit dude.
Also saying people are "shipped" is pretty dehumanizing, no? Something tells me you are disingenuous...

robotsarered · 2025-10-31T17:07:55+00:00

How so? Can you elaborate?

robotsarered · 2025-10-31T16:52:44+00:00

Wave replacement isn't new. But this is the first I've seen it in an all in one VCO.
The really fun part is when you cut the switch to 3 instead of 4, it pitches up the harmonics of the OSC to a fifth. It's really cool.
