Uploading parts of my livestream for those who missed it.
This was the final part with Cardinal -> https://youtu.be/IGwe_ixXr1A

Many thanks to and for the opportunity!

Feels especially meaningful to share this Cardinal excerpt now as I finally have my own physical modules in an old case to play with, after relying on institutional access or years of staying in the virtual world. I still love my virtual ones for sure. The software versions have been immensely helpful in developing my understanding of which modules I actually want in my physical playground.

And now: a real life Plaits, getting lost in the Programmable Complex Waveform Generator, and making a cozy space for my spring reverb tank to not hum, and having so much fun with Tyso-Daiko, which is wavetable so digital! and so on… and old Disting that Os left in the case...

When I finally got my hands on a physical Plaits and saw its beautiful aesthetics and easy user interface, I had goosebumps. After playing with it on screen for so many years, you know.

Curious question for you my fedimates: how does your workflow and sound change when moving between software and hardware? Does the physicality change what you make - your timbral choices, your sense of time, anything central to your practice?
