A first look at the Vondle Scope | Analog Oscilloscope Eurorack Module

A first look at the Vondle Scope | Analog Oscilloscope Eurorack Module
We try out our new Vondle Scope with the Surge Dual Universal Slope Generator. The X and Y axes of the scope are driven by the left and …right slope generators, respectively.

The Vondle Scope CRT is fairly low resolution compared to fancy test-lab oscilloscopes, but it’s simplicity in a modular setting gives many intriguing possibilities for both live and studio use.

We will publish a proper detailed studio review in the near future 😺

Cute feral cat Hissy return! Hungry as ever 😻
Our cute feral feline friend Hissy returns. She is doing well, but hungry as ever! Indeed, she ate two cans of food plus crunchies on this occasion.
Her markings and …
voice suggest that she is at least partly Siamese.
She is still quite skittish, although learning to trust people more.
