Haku and Infinite Machinery modules

Tabby cat with two eurorack-module boxes. One os marked M-infinity and TZ Dual VCO.

Haku helps his human pal Erik Ribeiro (@eriksuperlazy on Instagram) unbox and set up new modules from Infinite Machinery. Erik got these back when we were all at Knobcon. I, too, am still setting up some of the modules that I acquired there.

It appears the Infinite Machinery modules in question are the TZ (thru-zero) Dual VCO and Low Road filter.

And here they are installed and set up to make some noise.

Chichiro and Doepfer Dark Energy Mk1

The Doepfer Dark Energy was built around the Curtis CEM3394 “synth on a chip”. Curtis filter chips are well known and prolific in analog synthesizers, but this chip also includes a VCO and VCA – in short, a full synthesizer voice. It would definitely be fun to get hold of one of these, either packaged like the Dark Energy or on its own to experiment with.

Chichiro and XAOC Devices modular

Chihiro was eager to climb into the bottom section of the XAOC Box. Once again, I was moving stuff around which meant taking just about everything out to get to the ribbon cable headers.

This expression speaks volumes 😸

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.
