Welcome to the fifth episode of The Rack Pack! Today we've got 4/5ths of the crew (Moonbass Alpha is out on a secret mission) going freeform across a range of topics:

* Seaside Modular heading to Machina Bristronica in late September

* traveling with modular (and when people think you've got a bomb)

* what it's like at Machina Bristronica

* SynthDad's Testing Table™ with Griffin's Claw, Bishop's Miscellany mk2, and the Ohm Bohm kick ecosystem

* moving on from significant modules (the Arbhar / Lubadh conundrum)

* getting started with Digitakt 2

* some modular news

* Patchworks officially closing : /

We wrap up 100% knowing all our social media handles and talk next episodes (we've got some great guests on the horizon).
