| Lenore | How to Be a Werewolf, vol 2 |

| Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms | link.springer.com/… | $50 | |||
| CLRS | Introduction to Algorithms, 4ed | $80 |
A solid (and beefy) reference text, considered canonical enough that it's often referred to by the authors' initials alone. A 5th edition is now available, but I haven't decided whether I'd prefer that one. |

Will probably be very expensive. |

I prefer the original 1974 release, but I suppose the 4AD reissue is acceptable. |

| Intellijel | 7U performance case (104hp) | controlvoltage.net/… | $700 |
Quite lovely but a touch too expensive right now. |
|
| Adwater & Stir | Altair-Duino LED output register kit | adwaterandstir.com/… | $20 |
Eh, why not. |

| Elektron | Digitakt II | controlvoltage.net/… | $1 000 | ||
| mki x es.EDU | DIY system | ericasynths.lv/… | $700 |
The DIY system, not the kit set. Not sure what I would do with it once I've assembled it. |
|
| Detroit Underground | DU-INO | frgtwn.com/… | $250 |
A Eurorack shield for an Arduino Uno. https://detroitunderground.net/modular/du-ino/ |

Ugh, reappeared in the US just when I filled out my dual RackBrutes. |
|
| Make Noise | MATHS | controlvoltage.net/… | $290 |
Will not be going into eurorack 1. |
|
| 4ms | MetaModule | controlvoltage.net/… | $650 |
A physical module with VCV Rack embedded; includes virtual versions of other 4ms modules (and is of course compatible with other VCV plugins). |
|
| Molecule model kit |
Mostly so I can make models of psychoactive compounds as decorations and statement pieces. Because most interesting compounds are quite complex, I may also require some extra pieces. |
||||
| Molten Modular | Motion MTR |
Could get in 1U if I get a case with 1U rows. |
|||
|
| Acid Rain | Navigator kit | acidraintechnology.com/… | $50 |
Not going into eurorack 1. It could be fun to have a bunch of these in a skiff dedicated to CV processing. Also available as fully built modules, but the kits are half the price and twice the fun. |
| Krypt Modular | Oar | kryptmodular.com/… | $15 |
Passive 6-input combiner using diode OR logic. |

Awaiting notice from the creator to purchase. |
||
| Pine64 | PinePhone Pro Explorer edition | pine64.com/… | $400 |
A smartphone running mainline Linux. Definitely not ready to be a daily driver, but it should be fun to play with regardless. |

One can never have too many Eurorack patch cables. Red and up are the sizes I need. |

| boredbrain | Xcelon | boredbrainmusic.com/… | $900 |
Hoo boy, if you thought the Hexmix was gorgeous (and expensive), then wait until you see this beauty. Should probably put it in its own dedicated case, like the 4ms Pod48X. |
|
| Great Scott Gadgets | YARD Stick One | hackerwarehouse.com/… | $155 |
The provided link includes a case and antenna. Maybe buy two? |
|
| Tiptop Audio | Z2040 filter | perfectcircuit.com/… | $220 | ||
| Empress Effects | ZOIA Euroburo + desktop adapter |
Might skip the desktop enclosure and go for a powered 4ms pod. I definitely don't need it, since I have the regular pedal version, but… |

I prefer the one in the lavender pot, but the pink pot version is fine, too. |

Really nice for bedtime relaxation. Cooler colors (blue, purple, green) are preferred. |
