it is but spent the rest of the day looking at what I can do to play my guitar through the eurorack and now have a big list of modules I want ;) Maybe I should look at pedal video's and see which list ends up being bigger!

interestingly so many pedal makers are now making modules of their pedals, even behringer are doing it. I do have a module that lets me play though my pedal board and has been a saviour at times. I'm also looking at how I can get ableton to synch through them all as well

When playing through Ableton I've pretty much stopped using real pedals, but I make good use of a Behringer foot controller.

Might tidy my desk/studio tomorrow. I haven't made as much music as I should have recently.

was it the FCB1010?

Yes. Takes a bit of setting up, but is fantastic for controlling Ableton (and anything else too, I suppose).

One thing you might need to consider is that it needs actual midi ports, not USB, but I imagine that won't be an issue given that you like your synths and stuff.

Didn't get the desk tidied today.... maybe tomorrow.

I do have some traditional midi ports in my interface but I'm also looking at how I could get those expression pedals on the FCB working with the cv on the eurorack. I do have a module that allows me to take the eurorack out in to my guitar pedal board and I also do route ableton sounds out to the pedal board and reamp back in to ableton. Just to get some different sounds.

anyway enough about equipment, it arrives tomorrow and I need to remember how to play ;)

It's a mod chip isn't it? Or is firmware that you flash it with?

Either way, I did not. Mine is stock and I managed to get it to do everything I want.

whats the paranormal series? I did like the CVs I had them previously. Just been looking at some of the tele's
New last year, reissues of the Toronado, Supersonic and Cyclone amongst others. Robroe got a couple and said they were good. Link.

Thanks Rob, I'll take a look.

Well it arrived today but they sent a 60s Thinline Tele so now waiting for them to let me know when they can replace it
