Thank you😊

I'm pretty sure all 266:s are able to, not just samodular😊

Thank you! I would love to but I'm not an electronic engineer so I wouldn't be able to guarantee that it won't damage your Easel. Most features are passive but there are a few that aren't. I will redesign it in the future so that the front panel is pointing upwards and add a keyboard out banana socket. The latter could be useful since the Easel Command can receive MIDI notes and pass them through this output to other modules. It works fine with my 259. Note that this card only works on 208C (I'm powering stuff from the 5V pin which I don't think exists on older Easels).

Ok, sorry!

thank you😊

Hehe yeah, but I was so happy that the project was finally finished and that it works so I just had to make a video😊

I don't like the rogans either. My goal with the modules I build is to match my Easel Command where it's possible. I use selco/sifam knobs and on this module I used the same colors on the caps and switches as on the Easel - red and green. I will build more modules but I have no idea which. Maybe another oscillator or perhaps more sound shaping tools such as the 296 although I find it a bit to overkill with 16 bands - 8 would have been enough for me.

@@TheTrackdriver Why even bother keeping the text blue if you aren't going to use the blue knobs?

@@Bata9999 ?

@@TheTrackdriver Just looks wrong that's all.

Thank you!😊

btw, what's your experience concerning audio when recording to vhs tape? tape saturation? warmth? differences compared to cassette and reel-to-reel?

I didn't use the audio from VHS in this video, only the rendered song from Ableton Live. I will try that out in the future. There are no volume controls or VU meters on the VCR so it will take some trial and error to get the optimal audio levels.@@happygolucky2231

You mean Octatrack or the Easel? I can't recommend one over the other I'm afraid. Luckily I own both.

There is a chance😊

@@TheTrackdriver how could we make this happen? That would be amazing! :-)

@@CoincoinBleu When I have the time I will make a .syx and then upload it to my storage online and post the download link here.

@@TheTrackdriver Thanks! I'll be checking the notifications waiting for that moment :-)

@@CoincoinBleu The sysex is uploaded now😊. The link is in the description and in the pinned comment.

I'm not sure what you mean. I like BoC but I haven't sampled their music if that's the question.

@@TheTrackdriver it sounds like boards of Canada. 👍

@@amonster8mymother ah ok! thanks😊

@@TheTrackdriver you've captured the sound. Possibly ambient techno.

Yes, but they were only for display. I changed the belt in the disk drive but I wasn't able to align the spindel hub. Bought a Gotek with a quick disk emulator installed instead😊

@@TheTrackdriver so you had quick disks?

@@amonster8mymother Yes I did. Well, I still have them in case I can fix the disk drive in the future.

@@TheTrackdriver ok were you using the quick disks in the sampler?

To my knowledge the akai samplers used floppy 3.25 disks. I have 3 samplers and they all use 3.25. I was not aware that that other than the s612 there was another sampler that used quick disks.

What kind of feedback problem do you mean? Like a howling feedback loop? If yes it means the outgoing audio somehow is fed back into the input. I don't know how your setup looks like so it's difficult to give a more detailed answer.

@@TheTrackdriver yeah its more like a hiss that turns into a loud fuzzy blanket of ear crushing doom. Your right its something to do with how the input is being handled but it is within the program as it happens even from tape and with the output going just to headphones. The norns shield I am using is 210330 on a pi3b. Confusingly other scripts that record don't have the same issue. Thats why I am guessing it must be something in the settings of the script. Or I mucked up the soldering in a super specific way

@@ewansvsdyslexior I have been experimenting with the script today and tried different settings but don't get any feedback loop. Maybe you have "delaylaylay" mode selected? That mode created a feedback loop-ish noise. You can check the mode under PARAMETERS->EDIT and then scroll down to "choose mode". If it says "delaylaylay" you might have to use the maiden online editor and delete the "oooooo" folder to change it back to the default mode. I had to do it because the script kept going back to the delay mode no matter what I did.

I built it myself - wood sticks glued together for the sides and aluminum on the top that I etched with my own design😊

@@TheTrackdriver it’s sooo nice!

No, the Keystep is only connected to the Blofeld. I do have a mini MIDI controller (8mu from Music Modular Thing) that I use with the Norns sometimes, not in this video though. Most scripts (if not all) have many MIDI mappable functions so the 8mu is quite handy when I need direct control. I haven't tried to use the Norns with modular gear yet. I mostly use looper scripts and generative MIDI scripts. I see the Keystep Pro have many CV outs so it should be possible to control modular gear from Norns via the Keystep. Monome also has their own eurorack module called the crow that integrates with Norns as a CV interface.

Thanks! However, it turned out that the cutting needle was broken😮 When installed a new one the problem was solved.

@@TheTrackdriver the second important thing - reducing detonation (speed fluctuate because a pulley is too light). To do it - install a heavy washer (and center it) on the pulley.

Unfortunately this is the only one that exists😞. I made it for myself

Hi, it's actually a tiny MIDI controller - "8mu" from Music Thing Modular😊 It's like two credit cards stacked on top of each other with sliders.

Thanks! This is an inspiring video :)

Thank you🙂

I'm powering the Norns with a powerbank. The preamp (that is powered by a 9 V battery internally) boosts the kalimba up to line level.

@@TheTrackdriver aah ok, I’ve missed the midi controller in the back :D
