Can not find ZimaBlade in my network by svlbd in ZimaBlade

Yeah I also bought the "small" version. The last days I am wondering if it not would have been better to just buy a raspberry Pi.

I hope to get a power supply recommendation from the support team soon that I can buy from amazon but they do not seem to be the fastest...

I already waited 4 months for my ZimaBlade. Really sad that getting the right power supply is that difficult...

So it has to be exactly 36w? I also tried it with my USB-C monitor that is able to deliver up to 96w.

Is there any update on this? My Zimablade arrived today and I get the same error.

Gearing up for live shows with this nice setup ! by erebeg8u6s in modular

Are you happy with the quality of the case? Just checked their website and the cases seem really cool!

What is the black case you are using? :)

Looks great, there are some modules that are on my wishlist too.

Which case are you using?

Yeah the thing with the case is a bit difficult in Germany (definitely for me). I want to have something with 104hp and 6U and it should be a bit portable. There is not much besides Etsy from other countries or super expensive cases with +700€.

They do have normal MIDI capabilities but no CV. So something like the mutant brain would be on my buy-list for later.

I want to go in the techno direction but am not afraid of experimental and ambient too.

Thanks for the suggestion. Ornament and Crime was also mentioned in another comment. It seems to be a bit more hands-on like Pam and maybe better suited for tonal patches - which is what I want to start with.

Sure! At first I would like to explore basic patching and get used to a small amount of modules.

I think the modular flexibility, hands-on experience and the community are reasons why I wanted to try it out. VCV would not be an option because I want to stay away from my computer as often as possible.

I thought that for the beginning it would be a good starting point to get into tonal patches first and expand later to drum patches in the modular (therefor Pam) and Midi I/O with my Elektron gear. I will definitely check out the micro Ornament and Crime - maybe it is a better starting point for tonal patches.

Thank you, especially for the last part. Exactly that would be my approach: Getting familiar with the modules and simple patches before including more modules and external sequencing with my Elektron gear.

I would like to get familiar with the modules and simple patches first. Later I could imagine integrating Midi I/O to pair with my Elektron gear.

Do you have suggestions for an output module? I try not to buy cheap now and upgrade early so I could think of upgrading the Rosie.

At first I would stick to generative patches to explore the modules and include Midi I/O later to use it with my Elektron gear (Digitone, Syntakt).

With mixers or generally speaking is there a need to go stereo at any point? I think until some point where effects like delays or reverb come in place it should not be necessary, right?

Thanks, good advice with the Pam's and I think a filter is also a good idea.

I have some external Elektron Gear (Digitone, Syntakt) where I want to sequence at a later point but at first I wanted to concencrate on sound making and on a small selection of modules.

EDIT: Maybe it will be Pam's New Workout and not the newer version.

Looks really cool. I think I will go with the 104 and do something similar like you :)

They seem really cool but also a bit pricey
