Can someone remind me how to change the scales attached to the scale talker in the factory setup now that the EigenBrowser doesn't work. Ideally I'd like to pick from the named list, rather than have to figure out the semitone ofssets. The Global Scale Talker refers to a set of variables which I'm assuming are related? The Scale Manager displays a single scale name, but changing this doesn't seem to have any effect.

I'm all sorts of excited about the new Monome device. It seems similar in some ways to the Organelle. I'll be watching this thread with a lot of interest over the next week! https://llllllll.co/t/approaching-norns/13236/126?u=gonecaving

Spectrasonics Keyscape is being released today.

Spectrasonics Keyscape is being released today. I note that it requires a 64-bit host (though thankfully the content is also exposed through Omnisphere2 which can run in a 32bit host). Has anyone managed to get a working 64bit version of EigenD yet?

There are all sorts of interesting things in this set of articles.

There are all sorts of interesting things in this set of articles. The article entitled "Plays Well With Others" I think has relevance to the wider electronic music scene and not just modular. http://econtact.ca/17_4/

Hmmm, getting harder to resist buying into Roli!

It's NAMM teaser time, and it looks like there are more interesting controllers on the horizon.

EigenD question: I want to have an on/off switch on a key, that generates a gate into my modular.

EigenD question: I want to have an on/off switch on a key, that generates a gate into my modular. ON=gate high, OFF=gate low. Anyone (Geert Bevin?) ideas as to how to achieve this?  Does the Latch agent work this way? I have Expert Sleepers & ES-3 if that helps.  Objective here is to have the option of running sound from EigenD through a MI Clouds and be able to trigger the Freeze from my Alpha.

Shiny new mk3 breathpipe for the alpha arrived today, along with a spare instrument cable.

Trying to build EigenD from github today on a different machine to the one I've developed on before. I'm getting the following error and was wondering if anyone else has seen this??

Just a quick note to say that I've added belcanto and a config to Mark Harris's Creator repository that builds a simple hang drum setup (ie. just the pair of hang drums) as developed by Geert Bevin.  It should be easy to add this into your own setups!

This is interesting. I'm wondering what changes, or hopefully improvements, Roli's aquisistion of Juce will bring?
