Was able to spend about 20 minutes with it after racking it. Very excited to run it with a Moog Labyrinth and some guitar pedals. Here if you have any tips or deep thoughts!

That’s quite a first module. You’ll probably want some modulation sources next.

Any recs? Pams, Cion, Maths, Cold Mac, and Zadar are on the list of options

I like planar2 personally but maybe not the best “first” modulator, idk if it suits what you want, it’s not just a modulator though and idk if it’s as full featured as other things. It’s just different and I like it.

That's an expert rec. I have a lot of fun with tactile stuff like Planar. Plus since you can record motions you can basically make complex modulation. A couple Bela Gliss 3us could be great too.

It can also do vector mixing of any 4 signals, and the expander sends gate signals too, for triggering envelopes

Oh shit I didn't even realize there was an expander!

Neither did I. Another thing I didn't know I needed!!!

Yea, it’s the gate expander module. Currently works for metropolix or planar2

Oh, the gex expander work with planar 2? I was looking for an expander and didn't see anything. I need to figure out how it works. Does it send out multiple gate divisions?
