2 become 1: Disting EX review and comparison to MK4

Hi!

Disting MK4 is one of Eurorack's most popular modules - and rightfully so - but, as I mentioned in my review of it two years ago, it's very hard to use without the manual unless you have an excellent memory, only use the same few algorithms, or have the superhuman patience to wait for parameter names and values to scroll by on a two-character screen.

Enter Disting EX - two conjoined Disting MK4s with a small but hi-res screen that is a great example of a whole becoming more than the sum of its parts. This module also paves the way for a new line of algorithms (modules) that use the combined real-estate to enable more comprehensive and powerful applications compared to the one-trick-pony character of Disting MK4's modules.

If you're interested in eurorack, this module is worth a look.

All my best,

Ziv (no longer waiting for parameter names to scroll by on youtube as "Loopop"...)

P.S. Sorry if that song is now planted in your head... if you don't know what I'm talking about you've been spared, just don't google it!

Thanks very much Dave - and darn it! I forgot to make a comparison in the video, but indeed the jacks are better in the EX. Still not like regular modules, but it will definitely take more than a light brush

Hey Ziv, those jacks are very useful, yes, but the controversy over those is that they have a very weak physical connection. I rarely use my MKIV for live uses for that reason - the cables practically fall out if you just brush them. I don't know if Os got a better-quality jack for the EX (mine is still on pre-order...grrr...), but I hope that he did. Great vid as usual!

I think i need one. :D I had the Mark2 version but was way to complicated cuz of the lack of display.
