Used Claude.ai to read the Doepfer PLL doc and create an interactive model of its panel with explanations. Not perfect (even after a few iterations, *sigh*), but after all it might be a nice tool for modules with a rather cryptic interface or functions :-)

DIY maybe? That's cheaper. Or starting with a semimodular. Behringer is hated for some things they do, but they make affordable synths like the 2XM, Spice and Edge

Got this nice Texas Instruments TI-99/4A from an old friend. With original packaging and all accessoires. Nice!

Even passive multiples are expensive. 40US$, haha

and yes, there is at least one module which does exactly that. But it is fun to make my own

And when it works, modifiy the project to control the SID with CV to be integrated into the modular synth :-)

Definitely won't be due to a missing oscillator.
Curious what you're cooking up :-)

You set the rules and boundaries with your patch. The generative patch creates music within that small universe you've created. Can it produce surprising results? Absolutely. Is it AI slop? Absolutely not! :-)

Do you like the combination of the MPC with a modular synth?
I bought an MPC years ago, but it didn't click with me, it felt a bit like working with a computer. Happier with my modular synth.
Sometimes I think about giving the MPC a second change (didn't sell it).

Perfect. Fill parameter of first output is influenced by first CV input of O_C (Here controlled by Zadar) #eurorack #o_c #synthsky #phazerville

Koma Field kit spotted. Nice :-) Do you make any DIY stuff with sensors or such?

Ah nice, thanks for the suggestion. I found out that the Oxi One has euclidean patterns in its multi-track sequencer. But those are also fixed and can't be changed via CV

The euclidean module Arythmatik is a pleasant module with nice visualization. It has 6 outputs and lots of options (even probability). But it's lacking a CV input, which would make things more dynamic. Any competitors I should know? #synthsky #eurorack #euclidean #Arythmatik

Only the gain pot is unchanged. But that's okay

Installed the Werkstatt knob kit on the Spectravox. Tolerances are fine, knobs look visually fitting. What bothers me a bit is that the knob no longer sits perfectly centered on the shaft (due to the set screw). Most important: Easier to use due to the bigger size!

Finished and written on the real one. I don't find the created quantized pitches to be very melodic, but no time for more tests today. I'll keep you posted
