yeah, not surprised. If they sell it too cheap, people won't take it serious or think it's "pro" enough.

Silly, but not surprised. Still cheaper than Live, I guess.

Well, the price is fair, I guess. It's just that I already have Ableton Live and don't really need Bitwig... Maybe I'll wait for the 2.0 version. But if everybody does...

Coincidentally I just got these back from OSH park today:


Experimenting with using PCB material as front panels for eurorack stuff.

1st experiment looks promising (2xAttenuator and 2x4 Passive Mult').

If they work out I'm gonna move onto more serious stuff (an active mixer is next in the pipeline).

What a great idea raulduke!

were you a beta tester? just asking because I have yet to speak to anyone that has used it and I would be curious how it compares to Live.

I thought that the Fronttenplatten Design company was the go-to for a lot of diy synth panel work?

It is. But it is also more expensive than osh park ;)

I'll make the panels I've done public once I've confirmed they work and fit

Sadly no. Found out too late...

Heads up.

The mult and attenuator front panels are up as shared projects on OSH park:

They work fine for me. Note I use these jacks:http://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/pj301bm-3-5mm-jack-sockets-x50/

Ordered a set of the mult panel (and all three are mine... duplicate modules in synth-land are very, very useful.) Hopefully Erthenvar jacks fit in it :)
