Thanks for the comment. I bought the rails and side brackets from here: modularsynthlab.com/product-category/diy-eurorack-case/eurorack-rails/84-hp-eurorack-rails/?v=7516fd43adaa I didn't include that link in the description though, because they're kind of expensive, so I think you can find cheaper options if you look around. Regarding measuring and plans - the best thing I can recommend is to build it out of cardboard first, that way you can get a good idea of the size you'll want for your wood. It's best to measure directly with the rails and a module in place, as I showed in the video, rather than trying to get an accurate measurement in advance. It's very hard to get that exactly right. Hope this helps.

@craig_z that's great. Thanks for the tip with cardboard. I am still in the process of building the modules. I will wait till I have those finished, and I can measure them up for the size of the box I need. I am currently building a clouds clone.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! If you guys ever release a new poly synth and need factory patches, I'd be happy to help.

Thank you!

What's new with you these days Hilly? Send me an email if you get a chance, would be good to catch up.

It's hard to put into words. They definitely do sound quite different to me, even though they both use most of the same wavetables which were inherited down from the PPG, and early Waldorf synths. The XT kind of has this "fuzz" in the high frequencies that I really like, which the Blofeld does not. Blofeld has a third oscillator though...

@@craig_z sorry I do have a few more questions. Is the blowfish hold have the same parameters as the q... I owned both Waldorf XT and the q both I regret selling quite a bit as it was a very long time ago even though I mainly an FM synthesis synthesis guy SY77.... DO YOU THINK IT IS CONVERTERS? Does the blofeld to sound thinner to you?

Never owned or used the Q, so can't help there. I think any synth can sound thin if you just take a basic waveform and do nothing with it.

I own a XTK 30-voice. I've owned the Blofeld. Honestly? To me the Blofeld is a piece of plastic crap that soundwise doesn't even come near a Waldorf MW I/II/XT/K or Q. (I own a Q 32 voice too) Is a Blofeld therefor not usable? Certainly not. It's what you expect from a synth... But the Blofeld misses the bite, the nastiness from an XT, Microwave or Q. To me, it's like Waldorf real last synths were the XT and the Q, after that, their synths started sounding like VST's...

I think so. You can test it out though, I uploaded three of the patches for people to sample here: gearspace.com/board/showpost.php?p=16295434&postcount=4861

@@craig_z thanks a mill, i will check.

@@xntricity6446 Let me know if it works - would be great to know for certain!

@@craig_z i certainly will, i am ordering the summit in January and have your patches on my list.

That's really nice of you to say. I probably spent hundreds of hours working on these, so it's nice to see they are appreciated.

You need at least 2.0 - I would definitely choose 2.1 though, as it has important bugfixes that they found in 2.0. The firmwares are backwards compatible, so your sounds that you've saved will still work. You should still back them up either in Novation Components or download to your computer though.

I appreciate that!

I very much appreciate that.

If you've used Waldorf synths before, or any wavetable synth, I think it's pretty easy to get going straight away on the XT. The only non-inuitive part for me were the envelopes, which are quite complex on the XT (IIRC, they are 8-stage envelopes). I love the sound of the XT also, though I was not a fan of the filter on it. Comparing to the Blofeld, the XT has a simpler architecture, and most parameters are accessible directly, which is one thing that I dislike about my Blofeld (the menu diving). I really enjoyed solowly tweaking the "wave" knob on the XT and finding the subtle tones living inside each of the wavetables. The Blofeld actually has all the same wavetables (plus a few extras, IIRC), but ti's a bit more difficult to explore them on that machine, and the tone is a bit different.

It's a eurorack module, just out of screen on the bottom right: grayscale.info/supercell/

Hehe, yes this was my favorite out of the five.

Is that you, Meenski?

@@craig_z lol yes

@@conphident4 Then, thanks for the compliments!

Cheers Hilly. How's things? It's been a while.
