System 1m

Jolly good. However, if you want to access the 4 voice polyphony you can only do it via MIDI. Using it via CV is a monophonic only experience. I think this is a bit s**t considering it's designed to sit in a Eurorack as you therefore have to leave a small gap in the rack to get a MIDI cable in round the back.

Other than that though it's a keeper, especially when you put other audio through it. The filter is luvverly.

Just wanted to share that as nobody else anywhere seems to have mentioned it.

I worry about these racks. I can see someone plugging the wrong lead in somewhere and down goes the national grid. You be careful $:-\$

I know absolutely nothing about these systems, but figured someone must have wanted a easy midi thing, so anything here?

Feel free to completely ignore this if appropriate!

You lost me at "However"...

Lucky I trust you!

Ah! - try routing through an Après-MIDI module... Apparently they are good... but reportedly a bit slow to get going in the morning.

I was wondering what you thought of the System 1m. It looked quite exciting initially when they were teasing the thing, but then when I saw the fairly limited CV options I was a little bit disappointed - I guess we're far too spoilt for choice these days.

If it sounds good though that's the main thing of course!
