"First trials with an Akasha Synth Dodecaedron. The whole electronic is turnable and supplied by sliprings!
Much more is possible in future - also in more musical ways, but I was in a terrible rush before NAMM."

HackMe Vectr Controlling Make Noise Erbe-Verb

Vectr_Erbe-Verb_Video Published on Jan 18, 2015 Matthew Heins

"Vectr Demo Video - This video showcases Vectr working with the Make Noise Erbe-Verb. I demonstrate recording and overdubbing loops with Vectr, using Vectr as the master sequencer and clock for my modular rig. I'm using Braids as an audio source going through an enveloped VCA, then through a filter, and finally into the Erbe-Verb. Vectr is controlling the Decay parameter of the Erbe-Verb, the Pre-Delay parameter of the Erbe-Verb, and the cutoff frequency of the filter. I record a loop, then pretty much noodle around overdubbing and playing with other synth parameters. Good fun."

"Vintage Wavemakers Modular Systems kb 668 Rare Modular Synth programmer In working condition with no cosmetic or functional defects. Tested with my eurorack system and Arp 2600. Seems to work fine.

The only minor issue is the right hand side oak end is secured to the unit with some particle board which is cracked. And the 2 front face screws are missing. If sold I'll be happy to get it to 100%
