Thanks! The cheeks made it feel ‘complete’ to me 😊. There’s a little bit of noise from them, but can be fairly clean. There’s a capacitor that is recommended to reduce it, and I think I recall a comment somewhere that the amount of noise depended a fair bit on the power supply. Mine is quite minor so if yours is very apparent could be worth trying one of those things?

​@@mxrobertfrost I've been thinking about cheeks or a wood enclosure. It suits the EIMTO really well. Thanks for the tipps!

@@jjlauxetti1108I used quite heavy wood, so my EIMTO feels as heavy as it looked like it should to me 😂 such a beautiful tank of an instrument.

Which it 😂😂 🎛️🎛️🎛️

Apologies, I have definitely been known to mumble! The transcript is reasonable accurate if you turn subtitles on. ✌️

@@maydonpoliris yeah, it’s a great instrument!!!

It sounds so good, it’s an incredibly flexible and inspiring instrument. The build is mostly wiring, which personally I don’t really “enjoy”, but not hard. Good to use coloured wire to keep everything a bit simpler for the brain. You may need to snip a leg on the audio out jack.

🎉 Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback! Pun intended.

🙏 Thanks Todd!

Thanks! It’s definitely an inspiring instrument. The ‘chaos’ in it falls into repeating patterns, and the slider for it sort of works like a three position switch (with extra glitchy zones on the cusps), this definitely also allows you to find and move between different repeating gestures. It’s learnable, too, you can get to know it and anticipate where abouts it’s going to go. It’s a pleasure to play / play with and quite versatile.

@@mxrobertfrost Ah, so the chaos is not actually chaos? Hmm, disappointing.

@@GeirOpdal - I might be wrong about what the circuit is doing, it’s ‘chaotic’ but depending on how you use it you can get something like patterns. Per manual “Chaos Modulation outputs a pseudo-random, stepped CV” - I think it is a sample and hold and you can adjust its source. Since you’re also able to modulate everything, (including whatever it’s sampling, and the frequency at which it samples) it can be very chaotic, or feel a bit more like patterns. The manual and block diagram are a bit oblique about it, so I’m going off feel. In my opinion it’s a more playable option than say feeding a S&H noise, but plenty chaotic.

@@mxrobertfrost Ok. I dont know enough about these things to really know. It can still be a cool option though it it can also sound truely random I hope you will put out more videos with it. And bring on the effects aswell. There are too little demoes of instruments like this that uses efx and filters. And too few have understood what you so obviously have understood and does well; "chaos" instruments need subtle movement of pots and sliders.

Thanks!

Some might say worth the hearing damage? f(h) parasite is like that too, sudden spikes from hell, love it. Yay compressors!

Thanks!!

Thanks!

Thanks! It’s a lovely instrument!

Gotta boop it! Applies to feedback patches and cat’s noses! 😸

Yes, didn’t try to trouble shoot that, using stages to quantise, not sure what the cause was. Hope it wasn’t too distracting.

(Oscillator not really tuned either😅)

Not at all i like non standard tunings sounded a little like the persian saz scale w four quartertones dropped into a western 12/octave

@@lorensteele2962 have you watched Meng Qi’s video ‘What a Synthesizer Designer learned from a Neuroscientist?’, for some reason this conversation brings that video to mind. Worth checking out if you haven’t!

@@mxrobertfrost definately, gonna re-watch

Thanks for this!!! Parasite in the feedback path of sound of shadows definitely also adding a bunch of crunch here!!

I may have gone too far! 🤣🎛️🎛️🎛️

@@mxrobertfrost never too far, no limits 😄

Yes! You can absolutely take a signal from the send, run it through external processing and bring it back in to Shakti through the return. For the majority of patches that’s the approach you would use. This patch was an experiment of using a different external signal into the return to use Shakti to see how it worked as a processor / effect module.

Thanks! Yes, the resonant low pass gates really make it sound quite watery! 🥲🌦️

@@mxrobertfrost Not to mention Blade Runner esque :)

@@sandubogi 🙏 - There’s external cv over the pitch too, haven’t poked around for demos of the euro one, but also imagine using it with an external vca you could make some really wonderful synth voices…particularly stacking the two outputs….lots more to explore here…

@@mxrobertfrost I'm sold! It's arriving Tuesday. The only other consideration was the Schlappi Engineering Angle Grinder. But I find this more unique and interesting.

@@sandubogi ooh, difficult to decide between!! If it’s the euro duos you’re getting, be interested to see how you go with it. I got an angle grinder a couple of months back! It’s very interesting as well, Duos is definitely more of a stand-alone instrument / control voltage source, and angle grinder an oscillator / processor. Hikari have been posting some great Duos videos with beads on Instagram too, if you haven’t seen those and want more inspiration!

Thanks! It’s a delightful synth to explore!

Ha! You have the good taste, I saw it on your Instagram and it went from there… ;)

Go for it! You da best Thonk! 🙏

Thanks! There is much filth to be had here.

Looks like the left section is not tracking as well as the rest. Should probably try shifting the waveform to see if that helps. Hope you didn’t find it too distracting! 〰️

its nice

Thanks! I’ve been really enjoying exploring the Doepfer a-101-3 as an overdrive/distortion, it’s really beautiful.

It’s very strange, you definitely do.

Thanks Todd! Hard to limit the recording to being this short!! Seems to keep going through new interesting variations, but there’s other patches that need to be explored!
