best deal in a eurorack module that I've tried thus far

Probably extends to all formats that I've tried.

This fucking lightplane is just great. What am I missing? $160 for this thing? Great feel, 3 dimensional, and it records.

Use some stack cables (or multiples) and send the x/y/z and gate out to different parameters, and it's just pretty wild. Takes a few seconds to learn, and as far as I can tell works great. I'm not bothered by any stepping (which exists in theory).

One prehensile tail UP.

EDIT: this is not to change history, but to provide a link for anyone who isn't familiar with this module, and is reading from the beginning:

Say word! I have two light strips already, and my light plane arrives tomorrow. Control modules are tragically overlooked, and this ones a doozy!

I'm just absolutely amazed with it. And in combination with the modcan cv record, it's getting pretty silly.

I love control modules like this with multiple outputs, that you can route to independent parameters, making them somewhat dependent.

I'm very curious now about their forthcoming modules. Some kind of brain controller thing (wtf?) and some thing with radio in the name. I have not researched either yet.

But this is some good shit. And I must say, it's fun to look at the lights after I record.

now, I'd love a version that recorded more than 4.5 seconds....

Damn $160, even I could afford that. Thanks for the tip! Looks sick. I need some contrallllll

Well, there was that kick starter module that was similar in concept, but beefed up with all sorts of features. Maybe you can grab one if it sees public release.

not sure what you're referring to...

and fuck - I wanted to see what heppend if you recorded, and while it was playing you played it live. It looks like your live input overrides the playback, but when you remove your finger (well, I didn't REALLY remove my finger) it goes back to playback again.

its pretty amazing, yeah. i sort of wish that it could have gate out and sync capabilities at the same time, but other than that, it's really great.

Really looking forward to grabbing a light strip or two as well.

Nelson Baboon · Post by **Nelson Baboon** » Sat Mar 08, 2014 1:58 am

ah. don't care about sync. gate out is great (though I haven't figured out or read when it sends it out. But it's working very well)

Matos · Post by **Matos** » Sat Mar 08, 2014 2:00 am

Yeah, I love that you can override the cv and bam, go right back. Cv gate and sync would be sick at the same time, but at this price point it's amazing as is.

what does this mean? What device is this referring to? What is "lightplane"

Soundmachines lp-1 touch controller.

darn it ... trying to resist. building a cardboard case to scratch this itch. Thanks for the heads up

I've really been enjoying my lightplane module too.... Not to mention all my Lightstrips. These soundmachines modules are also well priced.
It looks like they've got some pretty innovative stuff coming up as well. Looking forward to it!

The price

But their Brainterface looks wild, that's something I always wanted.

Da*n, you just made me put another module into the Analogue Haven cart. I need to stop visiting this site.

One question, however: When recording the finger movement, will it continue to record when you lift your finger? So that it records both gate open and gate close?

That would be interesting.

muffin · Post by **muffin** » Sat Mar 08, 2014 10:52 am

yes, it does. it records as long as you have your other finger on the record button. However, you cannot use the gate out at all if you plan on using the gate jack as an in to sync to another clock. (jumper selectable behavior)

just checked out that link - wow. 30 seconds of recording! Now if that is actually released, I will definitely be interested. I'm guessing that it will be considerably more expensive than the lightplane, though.

I don't remember specifically, but I THINK that, since it records for as long as you hold your finger on the record button (up until 4.5 seconds), that would work. And I guess the proof is that after a recording, it sends out gate on/off messages.

I suspect that the brainterface requires a brain. Perhaps they will release one in module form.
