We are the music makers - producers?

It’s a bit less than they’re selling on eBay but not drastically

I do love that they actually did this!

Missed this post but the desk looks great. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Can anyone recommend some very closed back headphones with very large ear coverage?
A bit of an odd one but my wife wears hearing aids and needs headphones to cover her whole ear and the hearing aid together.
They don’t have to be studio quality, it’s only for recording some bits at home.
£50 - 100 ish budget.

Jeepers is anyone else following the used mark 1 Cirklon for sale on *bay? New they’re €1400 for the mark 2. Only problem is that there’s a 3 year waiting list. The used mark 1 is currently at £2350 with 2 hours to go 😬

KRK 6400? I have a pair, would recommend

Have you been following the whole Cirklon saga? I’m coming up on three years on the waiting list, in July. When I put my name down the email said the wait was about 12 months!

They had some production issues, plus they had to move offices unexpectedly. They’re scaling up but it’s pure supply and demand. I’m not entirely sure it would work for me right now, but the concept still appeals three years later...

I’ve just caught up on all the gearslutz threads. Crazy that they had to move from Scotland to Berlin because they just couldn’t find a single manufacturing partner in the UK that could reliably produce decent quality. And that, plus the ‘rona has meant that production ceased for two solid years.

The v2 looks good. And it’s shipping. I think that production is going to start ramping up now that parts supplies are available and they’ve actually sorted their manufacturing. But let’s see. Functionally it looks perfect for me and I’ve put my name down on the list, so just in case you get the call and don’t want yours...

Thanks I’ll check them out.

Messy jam with the Bluebox

I’d never noticed that 😂

A very recent change I think.

Heh, I’ll let you know, but -

New they’re €1400 for the mark 2

...they’re actually a little over €2000 including VAT and the CVIO option, which is essential if you’re looking to interface with modular and not just midi.

I think they’re quite unique, even after all this time not much can really match a lot of the stuff it can do. The most interesting thing for me is probably the more open-ended approach than Elektron sequencers provide, and the idea of having a single brain for sequencing rather than split up between various boxes. It’s another reasonably complicated thing to learn though...

Yeah and as much as I’d love one, I’m leaning towards a Squarp Pyramid for a quarter of the price to drive the Vermona DRM1 I just bought from @lmananimal + Moog semi-modular stuff I already have. Both the DFAM and subharmonicon have functional sequencers but the M32’s sequencer just doesn’t work for me

Yeah, the DFAM and SH sequencers are kind of integral to how they work, the M32’s is more bolt-on generic style and fiddly.

The Pyramid is a really good product and easy to use from what I can tell.

Nice, was going to ask how you are getting on with the bluebox. Like the way you are building up the track away from song mode. I've been finding it really fun to just jam away. Nice vibes dude.

Cheers dude. Yeah I have played with song mode but I much prefer just triggering pads and sequences on the fly to build things up

Just be careful with any sequencer in that price band that it can go off grid a bit if you want to. Straight 16th's get old after a while.

Thanks. Yeah the squarp has more than I’ll ever need, it’s polyrhythmic, Euclidean pattens, per-track % humanisation etc, it’s recommended as one of only a few credible alternatives to the Cirklon, though obviously nothing like as nice to engage with physically or visually...

Ended up going down a rabbit hole about the EMU SP 1200 (I have a grey original). Interesting what the original designer is doing taking old ones and refurbishing them.

Then I saw the Isla SP 2400. Looks really decent. Great layout and operational logic. SP1200 type filters if you want them too.

There's so much great gear to choose from at the moment.

My music partner had the Squarp and he hated it. Too many button combos to access the features. Euclidean was good but even that wasn't perfect

Aaaargh!

Edit: well as it turned out the one i was bidding on went for over £500 so I missed out. What did he go with in the end? If you say a DAW then I'm out

Elektron Digitakt. Sequencing his DFAM M32 plus Analog RYTM and other bits. Also a Korg sequencer in the mix, I forget the model, the one that came out a few years ago

I've got one also, I just can't think what it's called!

Edit: SQ1

I think the Digis are excellent sequencers. Digitone is my modular sequencer.
