@dtauvdiodr totally. I've got some pretty massive pedal power supplies that do well, so it can be done!
@alisynthesis woah. i have daydreamed about a far less sophisticated version of this
@ahihi same. It's fracking brilliant.
@alisynthesis that estimated price will be tough to justify though, unless like 10 of my existing power supplies suddenly break
@ahihi yeah, it is not cheap. It would be pretty awesome for a dedicated live setup though. Like if you had one of those cool DJ style coffin cases and this was mounted permanently inside there, you could have all kinds of different setups that would just be ready to go.
If I ever decide to play live enough to justify one of those cases, I will probably also be able to justify this badass power supply. 🤣
I've been doing a show like every two months, which is probably not quite enough.
@alisynthesis oh my, I already have to much gear I don't need (as in "do not have time, spoons and skills") 🤣
@dec_hl if I'm going to buy stuff I don't need, it's probably going to make sounds lol. For me, this would be a really practical thing, and it also happens to be pretty gorgeous
@alisynthesis
I've recently fallen into the rabbit hole of buying stuff I don't need that makes pictures. Some put the pictures on silver halides. Others store them in magical silicon. Can recommend that rabbit hole, too.
But yeah, a universal power supply for all my silly bleepbloopboxes sounds... awesome
@dec_hl
@ozzelot @alisynthesis back in the days, when I was still using my DSLR I bought a 1k2 CHF lens. So I know about that rabbit hole 🤣
I have way to many interests/hobbies for way to less free time (and energy)...
@alisynthesis I have four Behringers, three Hurdy Gurdy, an effect pedal for one of them, two FM1, a microphone and a mixer. And I barely know how to use the HGs. I never found the time and energy to wrap my head around the Behringers and I need to restrain myself 😂
I love synth, but I would love even more to understand them and be able to use them 😥
@dec_hl One thought I have for you (because this topic is near and dear to my heart) - have you tried just exploring the instruments sonically and not worrying about the end result of what you're making?
Sometimes it's so hard and frustrating to have something in mind you can't achieve for technical reasons! If that's the case for you, maybe you can just consider it sound art and enjoy that.
(And sorry for the unsolicited advice, I normally try to stay away from that!)
@dec_hl also, you have 3 hurdy gurdy?? That is seriously one of my favorite sounds, that's so cool!
@alisynthesis I once had four, sold the bottom one.
I made the #NerdyGurdy myself. The latest has a pick up. I took lessons when I still had the spoons for it and I was planing on also starting with the Nyckelharpa...
@dec_hl 
I've had to stop myself from buying a hurdy gurdy many times. Those are gorgeous!
@alisynthesis If you have ANY woodworking skills (or even if not, but manual skills), consider buying a Nerdygurdy kit.
I had so much fun assembling it and doing the research on the finish I wanted and so on! It was totally worth the ~600EUR I spend on the kit, bag and tools (and it was the cheapest of the lot by far)...
If you ever happen to visit Berlin we should do a jam session 😊
PS: feel free to give advice, I'm totally happy with it...
@dec_hl oh wow that would be such a fun project! I actually am an aspiring but totally awful woodworker lol.
And Berlin is one of the top cities on my list to visit someday, so I may take you up on that. Haven't been, have always meant to go!
@alisynthesis I like how this looks so much! I hope it's good build quality, I bet that thing puts out some heat.
