New Moon Modules

[VinceL]

Check out the Lunar Experience website for 2 new Moon Modules. Both are add-on's for the M568

Cool! Thanks for the heads up!

I was literally just sitting down to write Moon Modular a letter asking if they had considered implementing some way of getting an isolated trigger output from resetting the individual tracks of the 568. The Assigned Position Outputs of the 568A is an even better way of achieving that same functionality, and being able to do it twice per track is a great bonus. I wonder how they work when switching the 568 between the various modes (4x32, 2x64, 1x128).

Also cool of Moon to offer a discounted package deal. Hopefully Noisebug does the same.

It seems like people aren't as interested in these modules as I am, but I'll keep yapping anyway. I like the concept behind the 568P, but I feel like there really needs to be a "Reset" input of some sort on it. For example, if you set up a chain of 8 sequences using the Assignable Outputs of the 568A (or whatever else) to progress from one sequence to the next, once you hit sequence #8 there's no way to get back to sequence #1 without manually hitting the Recall button AND setting the rotary back to sequence #1. In other words, unless you're using all 12 sequences in a row it seems like this has limited practical use.

I feel like an additional two jack inputs would really push this module into something highly useful - a "Reset" jack that resets the sequences back to sequence #1 (or #13 if on the second bank), and a "Recall" jack that serves the same purpose as the Recall button so that you can have it reset back to whatever sequence you have selected. Using the combination of those two jacks you could pull off complex sequence orders like ABCABCBC.

I'm really hoping that there's some way to implement features like this, and it seems like it would be easy enough. Otherwise I can't help but feel that the 568P seems like a lot of wasted potential.

Very excellent ideas, NV, and I concure!

Good points, NV.

I know Gert is a member of this forum. Hopefully, he will see this topic and possibly identify a way to automate either a reset to memory #1 or recall the selected memory. If there is no way to do this, then automated cycles would have to be based on rotating through the 12 memory banks. And, this is assuming that the "next" function only recalls memories in the selected bank...otherwise, you would have to use up all 24 memory positions for an automated cycle.

In any event, I have placed my pre-order for these modules with Noisebug.

This is a good idea. Have you emailed Gert about it yet? It's probably too late, but it doesn't hurt to mention it.

Cheers,

I just received a call from Noisebug. My 568A and 568P modules will be shipping out today.

In order to use either the 568A or 568P, you will have to replace the daughterboard on the 568. The replacement daughterboard is included when you order a 568A or 568P. It's a rather simple procedure to swap out this board.

Once again, it's time to start moving modules around to make room for these new ones.

Congrats, Vince!
