Nice jam! I've been thinking about using a Gamut Rep to sequence a Dixie II and a Bastl Pizza to replace the Quadrantid Swarm in my modular techno setup. Your video certainly gave me some ideas! Thanks! :)
my only issue is it's inability to save a state. basically, you turn the dial to the right, it generates randomness. turn it left and it loops that state, from there you can adjust the switches and length. but if you bring the dial to the right, you lose the entire sequence and it generates more randomness. lets say you get an idea going and it's 4am. you want to power down and record it tomorrow, you cannot. so as much fun as it is i prefer the opp ned for the duties i've set out on. it's worth it, but important to realize this. for some this may not matter. but my idea is using it as a bassline seq. what i love is the ideas it spits out, so it's making these two melodic and bassline voices go, in key w/one another. w/opp ned, you're able to generate a sick arpeggio and decide what notes it is allowed to play and which not. only missing a slew otherwise that 8hp module is an underappreciated beast. you don't know you need an arpeggiator eurorack module til you have one. and although i haven't touched the wmd, i theoretically prefer opp ned, for its ability to dial in a set of notes extremely easily on the fly whereas the wmd has set scales. i'm mostly looking for this sound here, able to tell it to play the root, tritone, octave, so i use this for such a simple thing i want it to eat up as little hp as possible. i had fun w/gamut, but for a more permanent solution, i do believe i'll be reincorporating opp ned. i like that once the scale you build is set, you can then determine it's spread, direction, etc, and these can be modulated via cv. so, pretty much endless improvised techno fun waiting to be had, w/control over variations in a super intuitive way. power down and it'll save that state. just wish it had gate per step it outputs, but besides slew/gate i felt it was the perfect utility to get jams like this going.
oh and i haven't messed w/dixie or pizza, but i've heard good things about them. the intellijel quad vca has an amazing sound, i'm interested in messing w/their amps 6hp dual vca, or the other dual vca which is simply 1/2 of the quad. i think them and noise engineering are both in a very favorable stage of refinement at the moment.
