Hi everyone,
it's time for another update. Thanks for taking part in the survey last time. It gave me a really good insight into what design and aesthetics you want. Seems like the fancy prints aren’t really necessary … and maybe giving the sidepanels an overhaul to make them more minimalistic.
Sascha and I were quite busy last week finishing some prototypes for journalists. Filip and I mended a few things in the tek.waves firmware, while Sascha put together the products in Germany and sent them out in the post.
He also went briefly to the Musikmesse in Frankfurt for a day – apparently it wasn’t very busy there this year. Superbooth in Berlin is probably going to be more interesting, but unfortunately we’re not exhibiting this time. However, I will fly down to Berlin on Thursday morning, pop my head in and say hi to a few people. So if you see me there, would be great to have a chat! I fly back the same day.
These updates are also a good opportunity to give you guys a behind the scenes look into our working environment. Here is a picture of Filip looking at some waveforms of the tek.waves at an oscilloscope.
Also, as it has been requested in the comments, I made a video showing how Patchblocks, Pocket Operators etc. all work together. The hub didn’t have enough inputs, so I added our new PBMIX-3 to the setup. In order to get the triggers to the Patchblock and Volca, I had to use some tricks. Luckily the PO could forward the triggers from input to output, so I could then feed it to the Patchblock, which then turned it into MIDI Clock and sent it to the Volca. This meant all devices get a sync signal, and additional audio signals where mixed in the PBMIX.
That’s all for now. Happy Easter!
All the Best
Sebastian, Sascha, Filip and team
