I saw this on Hainbach and Konstantin’s SB20HE live streams and it’s a pretty unique workflow and sound. It uses its own voltage levels on banana jacks though, so do you really think it counts as “Kosmo Modular Format?”

What are you referring to?
Robin talks specifically about and shows examples of LMNC modules and Kosmo format at the indicated point in the video.

Robin bought a few modules from Sam, and is referring to those and showing them in the video.

Ah-so you have to watch the whole video to get to it. Who has the attention span for that?

No, the video link is time indexed and jumps to the exact point Robin starts to talk about his purchases.
But if you want to go there yourself, jump to t = 2264s

Are you suggesting Robin does not cater to short attention spans?

It’s the internet era. You still can’t judge a book by the cover, but now that’s because the cover is TMI to pay attention to.

Looks like @Maxhirez didn’t get the timecode link for some reason. It worked for me lol.

That, or he mixed up the Hainbach video and the Molten video.

I got a message about this upcoming event too. I often wonder how Robin Vincent got the idea of reviewing euro rack technology the majority of which he evidently does not understand: “there is an input and you put in a thing and then you do something with another thing and then add some more things and oh, next some stuff happens” … This is apparent from almost every video.

He brings us along on his journey. It’s endearing when someone is willing to be vulnerable like that, I think. And he figures it out.

I have to credit Robin with “encouraging” my early steps in modular DIY — he did a video on a build of the Befaco Even VCO, and he clearly knew and said he knew very little about what he was doing. Yet in the end he had a working VCO. I would’ve built modules with or without that video but I did say “I have more building experience than he does, if he can build that module I can too” and I built an Even VCO as my second module. Worked right away, too.

If it’s an honest wonder, I think he lays it bare in this conversation with Steve from Thonk. He even gets into how @lookmumnocomputer inspired him around 24:30 in the video. @Jos, I say this with love, because I have thoroughly enjoyed your posts and music here, but this one comes across as elitist and it just rubs me the wrong way. We want people to not be afraid to lay bare their ignorance and to share their process as it’s happening.

On a lighter note, Steve’s reply to “how do you start to troubleshoot a module?” was “go to bed”.

Oh dear, it was not meant as elitist, sorry about that. If you look at my posts you find that the mistakes I sometimes make show that I’m human as well. Its indeed honest wonder since I myself would not dare to publish videos to a world wide audience on subjects I feel I know little about.

…
which is good advice. As someone who writes software a lot, I have learned over the years that trying to solve a bug in my own software late at night is a waste of time. The next morning upon waking up my first thoughts often turn out to be the solution to the problem ( as if I’ve been brooding over the problem the whole night ).

Yeah, I thought it might not be intentional
