Modules trades?

Hi LZX’n folx! I’m slowly getting familiar with the LZX Community Forum. I haven’t found the place/protocol to swap modules… is this verboten?

#2 — Agawell · 2020-07-18

most of that seems to go on at one or more of the following places:

muffwiggler

facebook lzx group

facebook video gear b/s/t group

from what I can tell

#3 — reverselandfill · 2020-07-18

but why not here?

some people don’t have/want facebook, so another (more focused on video) place would be cool.

start a thread?

#4 — warpigs666 · 2020-07-18

Can you link to the video buy sell trade group? Also I would much prefer to have a subforum here. I don’t check Facebook very often and it would be difficult to keep up with sales/trades there in any case.

#6 — efp3 · 2020-07-19

Good to see you on the forum @bentoncbainbridge! Love the Rue Bainbridge work you two did last year!

#7 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-07-19

I am one of those people - dropped Facebook after they helped the Internet Research Agency elect the Russian president, and totally Zuckerfree for 2020!

So, here are my LZX and BSO offers:

Audio Frequency Decoder (one LED is not lighting, otherwise working perfectly) ON HOLD, Cadet VCO, Cadet Fader, Cadet Scaler, Video Logic ON HOLD, Video Waveform Generator, Color Video Encoder, Video Sync Generator, Staircase (missing the retaining screw in the center and some panel marks; working perfectly), Castle 110 Counter, LZX Vessel case (Golden Yellow) with wheeled flight case and Ergotron base

BSO Triple Video VCA, Hexadirectional fader Mixer, Triple Video LFO, QVAM Quad Video Attenuator Mixer

and here are my LZX wants:

Visual Cortex, Topogram, Memory Palace, Castle 101 Quad Gate, Fortress, Diver (silver panels would be nice if anyone has them!)

I have other non-LZX stuff to offer / that I want, or we can use cash or crypto to even things out?

#8 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-07-19

hi Emmett, good to see you here! We are premiering a new Rue Bainbridge piece next week with New Media & Sound Art Fest called I’ll Wear a Mask for You

#9 — efp3 · 2020-07-19

@bentoncbainbridge that looks amazing! Very cool! I might have a few LZX pieces for trade. I will send you a message tomorrow.

#10 — catbiscuits · 2020-07-19

I don’t have anything to trade or sell but please please let’s not use Facebook. It’s a force for incredible ill. I’ve been a scholar of network culture for two decades and published books about it, but what FB has become is so bad that I don’t feel it’s an exaggeration that it could end civilization one day. I wish all manufacturers would not use it.

#11 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-07-19

(again I’m not sure of the LZX Community policies, so please let me know if I’m supposed to start a new thread?)

@catbiscuits please share links to your books!

Facebook’s business culture gave us secret police on the streets of Portland, OR.

#12 — catbiscuits · 2020-07-19

Hi Benton, here is one. I was the editor. When we published the book, we thought that it would go out of date quickly. Much of it has not. See the chapter on politics, which I can’t take credit for. You can find it in the usual underground sites…

http://networkedpublics.org

#13 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-07-20

I would also be interested in a BPMC Fluxus Duo or other Eurorack video modules.

Looks like I can no longer edit my earlier posts in this thread…?

Well, the Vessel is no longer available. I have possible leads on Fortress and Castle 101 but still looking for all else on my list, thanks!

I have an LZX Cyclops for trade! Let me know if anyone is interested.

#16 — Psychoflauge · 2020-07-23

I ain’t got anything you’re looking for to trade but I’m interested if you’d sell any of the BSO modules

#17 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-07-23

hi @Psychoflauge please give me a few days to think about that. I’ve sometimes come to regret selling modules, so I’m preferring trades ATM. If you have anything else to offer in trade, please DM?

#18 — Psychoflauge · 2020-07-23

I’ve got a curtain but I doubt you need one of those

#19 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-07-23

VWG and Video Logic have traded. I no longer need the Castle 101. Vessel is on consignment at Control. AFD is on hold. Who has a Topogram, Diver and Fortress to trade with me?

#20 — Psychoflauge · 2020-07-24

Hey Dm your PayPal info I’ll get that BSO tvvca

#21 — warpigs666 · 2020-07-24

I’m looking for a Color Chords and Passage if anyone is looking to sell or trade. I have a Cadet I Sync Generator to trade towards it.

#22 — wide_closed · 2020-08-01

Does anyone with a vessel need an ergotron VESA stand? I have one I’m no longer using to sell/trade. I am on the hunt for a Prismatic Ray.

#23 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-08-11

Found a brand new Topogram. Before I order, just a quick check to see who’s holding… Here’s my current trade offers https://newyork.craigslist.org/brx/pho/d/bronx-eurorack-modules-for-trade/7163788360.html

#24 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-08-13

I couldn’t wait any longer! I’ve ordered my brand spanking new Topogram. Here’s my updated list of offers/wants for trade: https://newyork.craigslist.org/brx/pho/d/bronx-eurorack-modules-for-trade/7163788360.html

Spotted this PVM on SF Bay Area Craigslist: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/ele/d/san-francisco-new-sony-pvm-14l5-14/7193394579.html

Be safe, Californian friends!

#26 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-09-21

hi folx, I’m still missing a few modules from my LZX case. Who’s ready to trade me a Voltage Interface, Fortress, Diver, Memory Palace or Visual Cortex?

I have a few more things to offer, including freshly modded Vectrex and Wobbulator, CRTs including a 36" Trinitron and PVMs and BVMs, other studio AV gear including a Leader LBO-51MA, and an updated list of Eurorack modules including LZX

#27 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-09-22

Woohoo! I just found my Diver here on LZX Community!

I still seek: Visual Cortex, Fortress, Voltage Interface, Memory Palace.

I have to trade: VWG, PR, Color Chords, and much more great gear as linked above

#28 — rempesm · 2020-09-22

Messaged you about Color Chords.

#29 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-09-23

Thanks, @rempesm! My Color Chords and BSO Hex Mixer are out the door and my Fortress is on its way!! Who’s holding a Mem Palace who wants in on the goodies above??

#30 — Robbertunist · 2020-09-26

Anyone in Europe willing to part ways with a Curtain, Staircase or Doorway? [Update: I bought a Doorway so the list is one module shorter]

Or is someone from the USA or Canada flying over here? Customs tariffs & inspection delays are a serious pain in Germany.

I’ve got a bunch of audio modules but no video synth gear to trade.

Thanks for reading and for trading

:+1:t3:

#31 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-09-26

What modules are you offering?

#32 — Robbertunist · 2020-09-26

I’ll take a couple of photos later, there’s too many to type & try to think of before a late breakfast

:sweat_smile:

#33 — Robbertunist · 2020-09-26

Here are a few photos to give you an idea. I’ll get working on the list.

#35 — Robbertunist · 2020-09-27

Thanks for saying so @vhsdestroyer but Germany’s custom officals bust the ass of anyone buying stuff from outside of the EU, unless you’re a business ownee but even then, I’ve seen hassel for people who had just established theirs.

Thanks @Psychoflauge for pointing that out

:+1:t3:

For some reason I thought you meant a Staircase but alas, they’ve only got the Doorway which I just bought here in Berlin over the weekend. The list of desired modules shrinks, slowly.

#38 — Agawell · 2020-09-29

looks like nowhere has a staircase - luckily they appear to be due for restock, once Chromagnon is out - just like pretty much everything else - patience…

#39 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-09-29

I have a Staircase to trade! It works fine, it’s just missing that center panel screw. Still seeking Memory Palace and Visual Cortex in trade…

#40 — Robbertunist · 2020-09-30

I waited way too long before taking the dive into video Synths but thankfully there’s plenty of other under utilised or explored audio modules to experiment with that keeps me busy atm.

Patience does pay off for those who wait but I’ve also paid for my hesitancy. I’m itching to see & hear a video of just what the #chromagnon#chromagnon can do.

#41 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-10-01

I’m still just shy of my complete LZX system… is anyone seeking to trade their Memory Palace, Visual Cortex or Voltage Interface?

I just added a Genelec 2.1 digital monitoring system to my CL trades ad: https://newyork.craigslist.org/brx/pho/d/bronx-eurorack-modules-for-trade/7185109127.html

If you’re concerned about shipping, I’ll be driving from coast to continental US coast next week… I also have PVMs! Let’s trade!!

#42 — TrashTeam · 2020-10-02

Just throwing this out there, I’m looking for a Color Chords if anyone wants to sell one. I’m always a few minutes late. So maybe if I put it out in the ether it will magically appear.

#43 — saiteron · 2020-10-04

aaand i’m looking for a Marble Index and a Shapechanger

:eyes:

#44 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-10-08

Genelec system has sold. Still lots of great items. Who has a Memory Palace, Visual Cortex or Voltage Interface for me?

There’s a guy selling a VC here in Berlin on this website. Not sure if it makes sense for you @bentoncbainbridge because of import taxes for instance.

This URL is for a Vidiot so hit the search bar at the top. [Update: the seller of the Vidiot just wrote to me saying it has just sold!]

Hi Folks.

I have a BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt new in box for sale. $150 shipped in the L48s

I thought I was going to use it for a project but it never worked out.

Cheers,

Chris

#53 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-11-03

ooo, getting so close to completing my LZX case… I still need Memory Palace, Visual Cortex, Voltage Interface…

Here’s my updated offers: https://monterey.craigslist.org/pho/d/monterey-lzx-video-synth-other-eurorack/7222742296.html

The Andor 1 Deluxe has traded but I still have an Andor1 standard… plus many other goodies. Let’s trade!

And, yes! I’m in California for the Fall.

Happy voting, Benton

#54 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-11-05

Is there a way to send an LZXindustries.net shopping cart for someone else to pay? I have a nibble from someone who isn’t holding any of my wants, but could the trader just buy a Memory Palace direct from LZX for me?

#55 — Z0NK0UT · 2020-11-05

They could buy LZX Gift Cards for you. Or buy a Memory Palace and specify your address for shipping.

#56 — bentoncbainbridge · 2020-11-06

thanks @Z0NK0UT

hey, anyone holding a Panasonic WJ-MX50A? I need yet another (working, please)

#57 — wednesdayayay · 2020-11-06

my friend has a mx70 they aren’t using.

I hope this isn’t against the rules to bring up.

I didn’t want to make a specific post about it but thought if someone brought up something close I’d say something.

#58 — LILWILLY · 2020-11-06

no parents no rules!

#59 — Psychoflauge · 2020-11-17

Its not what you specify but i got an extra wj-ave5 if thatll Work out

Hello!

I have a set of 8 built Cadets I never use and want to sell as a set. Cadet I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VIII, IX.

They all work just fine but I just never worked them into my system. Comes with ribbon power cables but NOT the 14 pin sync cable.

$850

I can ship to the L48 or we can sort out a safe pickup solution. I’m in NYC.

I’m still missing a few LZX modules from my case. I’m seeking LZX: Visual Cortex, Memory Palace, Chromagnon

My offers:

#63 — Agawell · 2021-02-04

Benton, everyone is missing chromagnon - it’s not been released - maybe before the end of March though!

#64 — Fallinggirl · 2021-02-06

Do you know what would be so rad? If we could just buy the modules we need RETAIL. I can’t believe that I want to throw money at LZX but they won’t let me. There are a bunch of modules I want that they’ve discontinued and that no one will ever part with

:pensive:

#65 — bentoncbainbridge · 2021-02-06

@Agawell true that!

If anyone would like to trade a Cromagnon pre-order please let me know!

#66 — Z0NK0UT · 2021-02-06

The small LZX team can only make so many things! But don’t worry, there will be improved designs of all the modules that have gone away.

#67 — Fallinggirl · 2021-02-06

I know, I just love you guys and your modules so much. I’m a video synth addict.

#68 — Fallinggirl · 2021-02-07

Does anyone have a Cadet I for sale or know of another way to sync the Vidiot with Cadet modules?

#69 — rempesm · 2021-02-07

Which Cadet modules are you trying to use? Not all of them require sync.

#70 — Fallinggirl · 2021-02-07

The ones I really want seem to need sync, like the ramps and vco.

#71 — Fallinggirl · 2021-02-07

Is there any way you would just sell Cadet 1?

#72 — a_digital_index · 2021-02-07

The set is long gone. Sorry

#73 — bentoncbainbridge · 2021-02-08

The BSO TVLFO has been snapped up; the list has been updated!

#74 — Robbertunist · 2021-02-09

Have you tried the Facebook LZX group page? I’ve seen a couple of people ask for the Cadet 1 on the recently & good things seemed to have happened.

#75 — bentoncbainbridge · 2021-03-03

hopefully you could join us at some point! This would be a great topic to really talk through and come to some helpful solutions as a group.

hi folx, one more try…

I’m still seeking a Visual Cortex! Anyone have a VC for sale or trade?

I’m also looking for Color Chords, Bridge, Passage, Memory Palace.

My offers include:

#85 — Fallinggirl · 2021-04-26

I’m not sure where the vote stands right now but I too refuse to use Facebook and would appreciate posts being made on this forum or some independent website. I don’t have a Facebook account and think that a thread should be made here where people can offer up their modules for sale. God knows I’m looking for EVERYTHING.

What I really want to buy (please sell to me): Visual Cortex, Curtain, Shapechanger, Color Chords, Cadet II and a reasonably priced Memory Palace.

I’m READY TO BUY SO PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANYTHING YOU’RE SELLING.

#86 — bentoncbainbridge · 2021-04-30

Who’s holding?

I also have a modded Vectrex to trade.

Seeking: Visual Cortex, Memory Palace, Color Chords, Bridge, Passage

#91 — bentoncbainbridge · 2021-06-27

Hi folx, I’m still lacking a Visual Cortex. LZX Community member @devingreenwood tells me all the trades happen on Discord now. Why are we siphoning our community away from the LZX forum to yet another centralized platform?

#92 — Robbertunist · 2021-06-27

I don’t think there’s a lot of trading going on there (on Discord) but ya, it does look like more than here if it’s sales not from some of the DIY manufacturers.

I like the format of the site here but somehow the Discord layout is really good, it’s designed to promote more proactive interaction. The General channel changes topic from day to day or week to week, the Mainbow DIY kits was an active theme up until a few days ago because of an incorrect cap value.

#93 — bentoncbainbridge · 2021-06-28

this post is off-topic. should I delete it or is it best to start another thread? -benton

I avoid centralized platforms because they absorb and destroy communities. We saw that with Facebook years ago—upon moving our followers to FB, Zuckerberg algorithmically eliminated our engagement in a bid to force us to pay for the value we brought to the platform.

According to the Forbes article, users like Discord because they aren’t throttling engagement via algorithms. That will change as the VC investors demand a return.

Also, the alt-right history of the platform makes it off limits for me:

“It was founded in 2015 to make it easier for gamers to talk while playing video games and gained notoriety as a home for the Alt-Right two years later when white supremacists used it to orchestrate that summer’s Charlottesville protests. Caught largely unaware, Discord only worked to expel the racist groups after the protests ended with 34 people injured and a woman dead, mowed down by a car”

#94 — emooh · 2021-06-28

Do you consider Twitter to be a centralized platform? It seems to be popular with extremists of all types.

Or more to your point, there seems to be a history of alt-right organizations in particular utilizing Twitter. Assuming you have made amends with this and find utility in the tool beyond its less savory use cases, then perhaps you might consider that Discord is simply another avenue for us amateurs and enthusiasts to communicate and enjoy the community.

Oh & bump for anyone holding a TVFKG! I have multiple visual cortexes, color chords, marble indexes, etc. for trade!

#95 — bentoncbainbridge · 2021-06-28

True that, @emooh! Ultimately, I am trying to quit all social media. Not easy…

I have a prototype TVFKG up for trade. I’ll DM you. EDIT: The jacks are acting funky, as happens with these first gen LZX prototypes. The TVKFG is currently unavailable until I finish cleaning and testing.

From the wikipedia article you linked:

" In a study by Gabriel Weimann from the University of Haifa, Weimann found that nearly 90% of organized terrorism activities on the internet takes place via social media.[10] According to Weimann, terror groups use social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and internet forums to spread their messages, recruit members and gather intelligence.[10]

Terror groups take to social media because social media tools are cheap and accessible, facilitate quick, broad dissemination of messages, and allow for unfettered communication with an audience without the filter or “selectivity” of mainstream news outlets.[11] Also, social media platforms allow terror groups to engage with their networks. Whereas previously terror groups would release messages via intermediaries, social media platforms allow terror groups to release messages directly to their intended audience and converse with their audience in real time:[12] Weimann also mentions in “Theater of Terror”, that terrorists use the media to promote the theatrical like nature of the premeditated terror."

I’m on the fence about Twitter. I’m happy that they’ve been taking action against terrorist groups in the wake of 1/6/21. It’s hard to quit these platforms.

#96 — Robbertunist · 2021-06-28

I hope ye guys can strike a fair trade

:+1:t3:

I think it’s good to see some some debate on important issues that are important to our community and more so, to millions of people across this planet.

Anyone looking for a VisibleSignals RGB Matrix Mixer with the Direct In expander, Dual Distrib (2x 1 RCA input & 3 RCA outputs) or a Video Mult? I have each of them in both white and blue panels with a selection of knobs for the mixer.

I’m in Berlin, Europe & can ship internationally.

#97 — bentoncbainbridge · 2021-06-28

@Robbertunist oh! I didn’t know about the white panels for the Visible Signals modules. Yes! I want those!! will follow up via DM, thanks

#98 — bentoncbainbridge · 2021-07-01

I got my Visual Cortex! Thanks to the sharp eyes of @sean and @saiteron !

At this point, I have a pretty good set of modules. I’m going to spend the summer playing with what I have, so at this point my only offer up for trade is a Navigator, in case anyone has another Visual Cortex to trade? I’d also consider Color Chords, Octal Quantizer, or Marble Index.

Thanks to all who traded with me, and the good folx in this community!

cheers, Benton
