(1) I use Claude a lot at work (software development) and play around with it for my personal life and hobbies. For my synth hobby I have Claude write manuals tailored to my needs and preferred style. I don't like manuals that describe buttons in words. I'd rather see the actual icons plus text

This is (was) my converter for eurorack audio levels to line levels for the external Yamaha mixer. Due to passive attenuation the crosstalk was quite bad, the kick drum was clearly audible on other channels. Found out that the mixer can handle hot ER signals. No audible crosstalk #eurorack #synthsky

Help! I am addicted to the Xaoc Leibniz subsystem and have a lot of fun using them all. After Drezno II, Gera and Jena, I also ordered Rostok today xaocdevices.com/main/rostock/ #eurorack #xaoc #synthsky

With my box full of adapters, I feel prepared until… What kind of strange adapter did you need in the past? And did you have it, or did you have to build one? #electronics #vintagecomputer #synthsky

SID revisited. My buddy Claude and I wrote a program to output a bunch of different sounds to feed into the Intellijel Multigrain for background textures. It runs on the Commodore C64 from 1983. #commodore #eurorack #c64 #synthsky

The OXI One does take external clock & reset, but that's about it, no way to route rack CV to its internal params (transpose, pos). It's built to be the master, not a CV-shaped slave. That's why I'm eyeing the Westlicht PER|FORMER, where basically every parameter is CV-routable #eurorack #synthsky

That's what I love about the Monome Teletype. Here I needed a bargraph, the higher the input, the more outputs are active. Together with Drezno and Gera it's a CV-controllable bit mangler now #eurorack #synthsky #teletype #patchnotes #xaoc #monome

Having so many blanks isn't a sign of wealth 😉 #eurorack #synthsky

Added a third module from the Xaoc Leibniz universe. Bit crusher, wave folding, destroying sounds, gritty stuff. Great addition to my humble Industrial Techno journey #eurorack #synthsky #xaoc

Having such a blast with Xaoc Drezno, now it's time to buy a second module from the Leibniz subsystem. Jena is a configurable bit mapper with many built-in patterns. Xaoc calls it a binary transfunctioner, but that sounds like "Marketingsprech" as we call it in Germany #xaoc #eurorack

Xaoc Drezno II and Bastl Ikarie were added over the last months. Both are great for my Industrial Techno journey. What resources would you recommend to learn more about patterns and how to achieve things? So far I found "Underground Electronic Music School" on YT very helpful #eurorack #synthsky

Call me old school, but I really like it when a Eurorack company includes a written manual #eurorack #synthsky #xaoc #drezno

I have so many questions now. Is it a show? www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6AF... #synthsky #eurorack #synthesizers

Bought a Behringer Crave to use on weekends when I'm not at home. Mechanical build quality, oscillator and filter are okay/fine, but the built-in sequencer has some serious bugs. Nah, not for me, will return it. #behringer

I do a lot of software development with Claude Code, and it works quite well. To get a feeling for what it can do (and where it fails), I also try different tasks like comparing/transforming documents. It didn't manage to find "cow" in here, it hallucinated about finding it in line 24. #Claude #llm

I thought about using wireless Bluetooth headphones with my modular synth. Almighty AI complains that the latency (~250 ms) would spoil the fun, because the sound would lag when I interact with the synth. Anyone here using BT headphones? #eurorack #synthsky

www.linkedin.com/pulse/kindli... I was curious how Hofstadter thinks (now) about his ideas about "what is intelligence and how it might work" after recent developments with LLMs

After almost 3 years in modular land, I still don't get the point of 1U modules. They're just oriented differently, and not everything is available in that format anyway. #synthsky #eurorack

Any hints on where I could buy one of the Monome Teletype expanders in Germany? #monometeletype #eurorack #synthsky

Sitting in a tiny apartment in Canada, after a drizzly day of errands, shopping, and tinkering with my little Eurorack case, revisiting a long-term project of making very slow, long, ambient electronic versions of Gymnopedie No. 1, and Canadian Facebook is serene because it doesn't allow news links.

I'm quite chaotic, but sometimes I get the urge to organize stuff like my 4 dedicated scope leads and 8 dedicated channel cables #eurorack #synthsky

A few weeks ago I posted my implementation of the Turing Machine in Teletype. It wasn't working properly. Here's the fixed version after a long session with Claude - now you can see the LFSR staircase. #eurorack #synthsky #monometeletype #claude

Stolen from Reddit. I think it's a good one. Btw - load your setup into Claude and talk about the gear you're thinking about buying. Sometimes its take is really helpful. #synthsky #eurorack

Current state of things. Moved the Monome Teletype clone next to Pam's and moved Marbles into the 2nd rack because I hardly use it. All in all, it's finished (for today 😀) #synthsky #eurorack #modularsynth

Procrastination phase. It broke weeks ago when I dropped it. Now this head has become a symbol for my current state of mind #procrastination

The Moog Spectravox is now part of the overflow rack. It's a powerful filter, but I hardly use it. And why oh why does the carrier input only accept line level? Do you have one and use it? #synthsky #moog #spectravox

Has this been done by a highly specialized thief or .. #synthsky

Reading about other nerdy hobbies has the risk of starting a new and potentially expensive one. MUST RESIST!
