This is Takazudo Modular Highlights vol.15 (distributed January 17, 2025).
This issue has two announcements:
- 6 New Design Blank Panels Now Available
- Olivia Artz Modular: Time Machine Restocked
6 New Design Blank Panels Now Available
First announcement: New design blank panels are now on sale.
We've been making and selling design blank panels like the UFO and Sun designs, but in collaboration with designer friend SAUCER, we created a new series of design blank panels that were added to the shop lineup last month.
Each of these blank panel sets includes 5 panels in 1HP/2HP/3HP/4HP/12HP sizes. We chose the most commonly needed smaller sizes for the set designs.
I, Takazudo, post photos of shipped products on X almost every day, and these blank panels look really great even in my own photos. Please consider using your favorite designs for any empty spaces in your rack.
Olivia Artz Modular: Time Machine Restocked
Second announcement: Time Machine from Olivia Artz Modular has been restocked.
This is a unique DSP effect module based on a clock-syncable 8-tap stereo delay. At the Festival of Modular 2024 Tokyo event we mentioned previously, many visitors got to try it and showed great interest.
Time Machine successfully raised funds through crowdfunding, and after DivKid, a prominent figure in the modular synth world, featured it multiple times, the initial production run sold out fairly quickly. We even received inquiries from overseas customers. Our stock also sold out about 3 months ago, so this is a long-awaited restock.
I personally use it almost all the time. Beyond its intuitive and easily controllable interface, it produces great effects whether you're casually tweaking it for dramatic results or using it as a versatile delay/reverb. Highly recommended.
As another note, we expect to restock OXI Instruments products in late January to early February. OXI Instruments products are currently out of stock, so please bear with us a little longer.
As for my plans this year, I'm thinking of focusing on properly writing up explanations for each product we carry. So I'll be updating both the website and YouTube bit by bit, and I'd be happy if you check in from time to time.
That's all for this newsletter.
See you next time.
