Haku and Intellijel Palette 62
Haku investigates the Palette 62 Eurorack case from Intellijel. From our friend Erik Rebeiro via Facebook and Instagram.
This passed the Haku inspection. I love the @intellijel Palette 62. This is my second one. I also really like the 104hp version, but there’s something about the size of the 62. They also offer a really nice gig bag and Decksaver for it.
There is indeed something nice about the size of the 62. It’s great for gigging. I should really get that gig bag.

Nina Ros and Boss PC-2 (Percussion Synthesizer)

A bit about the Boss PC-2 from Vintage Synth Explorer:
The PC-2 is a very simplistic analog synthesizer featuring six controls to help shape various synth drum, percussion and effect sounds. It uses a single VCO with a triangle waveform and a knob to adjust its pitch. The sound is more often of the UFO bleep and bloop variety, although with a bit of help from the OEM manual, you can find the settings to make big bass drum sounds, castanets, tom toms, wood blocks and more. The Sweep knob can give the sound an ascending or descending pitch bend effect. The VCA envelope is limited to a simple Decay control (attack is a fixed hard transient). A simple LFO, switchable between Triangle or Square waveforms, with Depth and Rate controls can be used to modulate the VCO for subtle vibrato to crazy wobbly sounds.
