For example, the Varigate 4 allows for something I’d not seen in modular by being able to set probability within a sequence of a step triggering. I’d seen this applied to clocks but that wasn’t as predictable as what I created. Also the repeat function of the Varigate 4 is hard to replicate without using a few modules.
Finally anything you'd like to add?
I’ve just got home from Moogfest where we showed the
Varigate 8+ for the first time. At the time it had only been
together for about 2 weeks, but the code was more than 90%
with only some minor things left ot finish. We got a lot of
good feedback the few days we were there and I’ve come up
with a few cool things to add to it. I also played a live set over
the weekend using it which helped me figure out some things
that would make it more friendly for live performance. The
Varigate 8+ is my main focus right now and we plan to have
it out this summer for $599. I’m also working on a few other
projects as I have time which may be ready some time this
summer or could have to wait til NAMM. Keep an eye on
Malekko’s website or Muffwiggler for new announcements.
We’ve got some really cool stuff in the works that I can’t wait
to share with everyone.Thanks so much for having me this
month. I really enjoy your work. I’m always recommending people check out your Varigate 4 video if they have any questions. Keep up the good work, looking forward to upcoming videos from you.
A big thanks from me to Ben Davis for the interview, it's always great to get to know people a bit more and I'm excited to see more of his work in future Malekko products too.
