Thanks for this! Your wide-ranging conversations have quickly become one of my favorite synth podcasts. I really appreciate how you go deep on both abstract matters of composition and the specifics of patching. Please keep doing these!

Thank you so much! We just released a new episode with Baéput and we plan to release a new episode on the last Tuesday of every month!

The banana jack paradigm does change the way you think, I've my own synths and they are banana jacks, when I go to my eurorack the mini jacks feel restrictive even if I have loads of mults, that extra step of reaching for the mult really disrupts the flow, good interview, I'm only a few mins in LOL, thanks

True indeed, it's a whole different instrument! Thanks for commenting!
