Wrong forum - this belongs in p**n.

(Nice pics, Xpander)

Thanks for the photos! 200e does look lovely... A little intimidating perhaps, but lovely. And clubbed is right, this is p**n... p**n that is borderline illegal... That Wiard stack is the equivalent of a BBW-Midgets-with-gasmasks-gangbang.

That Buchla just looks beautiful! I love the way the jacks are colour-coded. Do you know what the little touch-pad, that he's got his hand on, is?

i actually went to this because i'm on the market for a modular system and ended up leaving with a whole lot of interest in the eurorack stuff which i've never considered because i thought they were too small (which they aren't). Wiard joystick interface was really cool, though.

Plan B oscillators = pure gold.

I think they are quite compact but really nice...

thanks!

i went in there excited about the large format dotcom/modcan stuff but was really taken by the eurorack stuff- especially Plan B. i'm already starting to see what kind of large system i can put together with primarily Plan B / Doepfer modules. the eurorack systems there were really fun, they all had like ten different makers' stuff ranging from vanilla to bit crunching.

i did really like the Buchla triple-morph filter, it reminded me of my beloved UltraProteus. the Thunder controller seems to have a lot of potential, too, it's sort of like having ten hands instead of two. Buchla told me his 6U stand-alone boats will physically integrate into the 18U cabinet- awesome! none of this news is good news for my bank account, though...

You know you're looking at serious s**t when an EMS Synthi goes unremarked upon until now.

hfinn, thanks! (Though I probably should have searched first via Google

) I read all that amazing info, and then it concludes with the fact that it records and recreates everything too! Wow.

Absolutely!

I've been so good at resisting any GAS lately but this thread is making things difficult...

Doesn't help I've got an almost completely empty Eurorack case sitting in my cupboard.

I know what you mean, mine sits with but one Doefper 104 filter and that's it. Spent all my modular money on a FR XS. But those Harvestman and Plan B modules sure are tempting. I'm looking at getting a couple cheap modules from Plan B, but want to buy Zerba 2 right now also...

Maybe if we combine your A104, my one and only A111, and Stabs case we can all say we have modulars!

Patch it into Push Pulls one:

And we're in serious modular business!
