no sampler function that I’ve seen. Not sure if a firmware update could address that, since it does have audio inputs.
Anybody know where I can get one of these KITS?

Touellskouarn has a list of sellers, and I've found all sorts of places that sell the effect pre-built, but it seems Thonk is the only KIT seller, and of course they're sold out.
The problem with Thonk is, they may be sold out indefinitely — like the BugCrusher which is still on the Thonk site but hasn't been in stock for a decade or more...
Luckily, through this very forum I got a BugBrand Crusher PCB directly from Tom Bugs, one of a handful he had left apparently. After jonesing for the Crusher for years, to have Mr Bugs pop onto the radar... Forever grateful.
So, I figure if anybody knows Touellskouarn, it'd be the people here; I'm hoping this Arc Merc'het Brao story has a happy ending as well.

that work?
Several pages back there was a whole back and forth about strings. I just got a whack load and did a bunch of restringing. The Labella gold white Nylons went on my acoustic (Emerald Balor), which is meant to be tuned E-C. I had phosphor bronzes on there but they are just too hard on my hands.
The gold white nylons are a bit stiff and I feel like the action is a bit high, but I recorded this noodle. The K&K piezo is shocking close to the acoustic sound in the room. Also featuring me hitting and tapping the body, and Portal, Crystallizer, and Valhalladelay in various forms.
Also tried the copper white nylons on my Lull. Didn't love the B string so that's E-C as well. Tuned E-C the C string sounds great, and even better tuned D-Bb).
Finally, I snagged the last new set of 32.5 winding Labella flats for bass VI on earth (I think) and installed them on my Silhouette. Jury's out there but wow are they smooth.

Thanks. Coming from you.
Means alot.
But there's alot more work to be done to move this "concept" forward.
interesting. there are couple of things that seem odd to me, but i would have given it serious consideration if it had been around six months ago. (i think he should’ve also credited his inspired by section to roger linn, but that’s just me.)
the way you switch octave ranges is either hokey or genius.
buddy of mine asked me about gear today - words words sampling words words eurorack words words live performance words words looping...
He wanted to know my thoughts on certain software and hardware solutions like Maschine & Ableton w/ Push. Ultimately, I said - Just get the Octatrak.
Now I want one again

I love my Octatrack in theory. But it is very bossy.
I genuinely don't know what I think about it, some of the concepts are cool, but it also looks like something that someone pieced together from things they bought at Michael's or Craft Barn or one of those kinds of things. Kinda looks shabby. I know that's superficial, but that's what stuck out, at first.
Speaking of MPE and other stuff... the Iridium 3.0 beta is out and I got on board the beta testing. it has MPE, and I played it with the ROLI. There's some bugs right now, but that's what I'm looking for, right? what's cool about it (and something I really wish the Hydra could do) is thatI can have the MPE controller and a regular one both hooked up and usable, so I don't have to switch anything out or any settings.
I'm still not set on what my ideal MPE controller is. There's a lot of plusses and minuses to all of them, from what I can tell. I probably will get a Sensel Morph, soon. I don't wanna spend a lot, because I think there's gonna be a lot of new ones in the next year.
