Also got the on-off-(on) switches today from ebay that I ordered. Took a bit longer, as expected, to get here from the UK, but by only a few days.

I hate paying for shipping so Iād rather just do a big order and call it done. I also very much dislike having to wait for parts. Iām trying to get into the habit of remembering to only do Tayda orders around the 3rd week of the month when they have their monthly 15% off sales.

Has anyone from stateside here in the forum ever ordered something from Japan that got āpresented to customs?ā I have an Order from Tokyo Tape Music Center stuck in Chicago right now and am wondering what to expect.
If you can predict Tayda sales youāre a better prophet than Iā¦ Last year they were doing them on average about every 2 weeks, but sometimes longer gaps and at least once significantly shorter (two sales something like 9 days apart). This year so far only one a month.

You probably have a few other modules with a couple knobs you hardly ever use, right?

I was like sure!
Well he stopped by my work today and dropped this off!!

It aināt modular and it aināt LMNC but this was the most beautiful sounding Piano module ever and it was in the mail today! This is my second one. I sold the first one to buy my wifeās engagement ring back in the day. It predates Midi over USB so now I have to figure out how to use one of my other modules (Mother 32? Neutron? BSP?) as a midi converter if I want to sequence it out of DAW. For $70 itās in great shape even at 30 years old.

I just spent about Ā£40 on a Midisport 2x2 to handle older MIDI equipment like that. I grew tired of using those cheap but really dodgy USB-MIDI cables that drive a cart and horse through the MIDI spec.

Two days after my last Tayda package, another one. No, I did not place Tayda orders two days apart, what do you take me for? I placed them four days apart.
Itās weird, when I place these orders they seem to make some sort of sense in my head, and when they arrive I say āwhat was I thinking?ā Not that I wonāt use these parts, but some Iāll have no use for very soon. But Iāll probably use two of the jacks in a week or so, and one of the LEDs, and Iāve been itching to do some Nano breadboarding.
