Good idea, and the layout is great, I've just been toying with panel designs, and was going to just add a normal 8 step cv sequencer channel to it, but not sure now, maybe I'll do it like you did, or both!

- this was a self playing patch I had up a couple of nights ago.

PS - the reason the DD2 near the middle is darker than everything else is 'cos its still one of the really early thin-panel beta versions - I never treated myself to a proper production version (silly me...)

be careful... if you espouse banana falsehoods or frame banana jacks in a negative light you will have to answer to the banana syndicate and depending on their mood they can be quite full of wrath! :razz:

This just shows that you don't have to give up panel density when you go to a "big" format.
Wowee!

here's my bugs :love:

some pics and a quick recording here... this recording is the patch you see in these pics, crazy fun patch, it's been up for a couple of weeks now (which is by far a record for me) as I've been exploring it and having tons of fun with it. Anyway the recording is a quick one-take live pass of playing around with this patch, direct into the computer with no other processing or anything.... you can check it out by clicking here

and some pics....

can't say enough thanks to Tom, this is the most fun I've ever, ever had with a synth. This thing is just ridiculous. Plus it's the first thing anyone who comes into the 'studio' ever notices or asks about...people are just drawn to it. I love it so so much :nana:

A friend of mine made a little film of us setting up and playing our bananasequencer synth machine on the roof:

Watch out for the cats too!

Since its just us bananas here, I think we should all admit the truth: other systems are ugly. Banana systems are better looking than the rest.

Pretty much..... I've been selling off alot of euro modules to get my 10U named "otis" all tricked out and stuffed. Nothing like just glancing across a panel and instantly knowing each jacks function by color code or however you organize your modules..... and uhm, fuck multiples. :)

thanks!

I've used the LBB with the Buchla a few times with mixed results I also have a bananafied Infernal Noise Machine that sounds pretty good when I use it with the Buchla. As for the LBB I want to get my hands on a couple of banana to tinyjax cables for the oscillators then nothing will stop me from taking over the world of harsh noise
