Re: MOD Devices sponsors Linuxmusicians.com

Just out of curiosity what do you mean by "space" here? Is this referring to a physical space for interaction with new hardware or primarily a different set of discussion avenues with MOD core members? I tried to look it up when this topic first appeared, though either info was more spars...

Re: MOD Devices sponsors Linuxmusicians.com

Hi everyone Gianfranco, from MOD Devices here. I've been following this topic since the initial announcement and I did not want to participate in the discussion because, in my eyes, any form of influence from our side would constitute the very reason why people advocate against the sponsorship. But ...

Re: Step on to the future

I have a few things with vulnerable connections, manufactured for reduced cost, so I protect them by creating a secured loop, so no pressures can affect the actual connections. Tripping roadies, clumsy drummers, or prancing guitarists need not stop the show. Pretty easy to homebrew such solutions. ...

Re: Step on to the future

One of the most interesting things in this experience of putting a new product available to the public is to realize that things that you care very little about are total blockers to some and also things that you believe to be crucial are not even noticed. As it seems, the RJ-45 might be one of them...

Re: Step on to the future

Gianfranco: Just curious, is the headphone out really a TS connector? Looking at the pictures it looks like all the connectors are actually TRS. The technical specs section of the kickstarter page lists them all as TS. That was a typo and is already fixed. Thanks for the notice. They are all TRS ja...

Re: Step on to the future

to have both cheap durable connectors AND a digital bus, maybe you could do it with TRS and 1-Wire protocol. as a plus you could use the same connector for simple foot switches and expresion pedals(which many people already have.) That is good discussion topic. We've discussed a lot (and I really m...

Re: Step on to the future

I didn't realize it would be so extensible with switches and expression pedals! Now I really want one! :\ Gotta still save up for my studio monitors though. Anyone know if the switches can be toggle or momentary? It would be nice to have both. Best of luck! That is very good question They are physi...

Re: Step on to the future
