Upgraded my old M1 mini to Mac Studio M3 Ultra 256GB

Finally the latest Mac Studio was released, unfortunately only with M3 chip instead of a M4, but I simply waited too long already.
Let’s see how this one compares to the previous M4 Pro I bought for my son in regards to LLM’s.

This one will be used with Podman Desktop, LM Studio and hopefully be fast enough to also handle voice recognition and rendering in realtime.

256GB VRAM will be more than enough for my use cases, 96GB was simply not enough as I already saw that on the 64GB M4.

Eurorack – Neuzeit Instruments

another block of modules for my eurorack

I’m completly obsessed with those modules of Neuzeit Instruments,
they are very well designed with a lot of embedded functionality.

Neuzeit Instruments Warp

This one is a kind of drone oscillator with 4 separate or coupled voices,
with embedded waveform warping and multiple LFOs as well as distortion.


Neuzeit Instruments Quasar

This is a binaural processor, which has the ability to redirect sound across the room in 3 dimensions, simulate bouncing, hovering, moving and so on. There are also some effects possible.

Neuzeit Instruments Orbit

A filter that can also be used as a voice in self oscillation, with embedded bitcrusher and the ability to add 4 harmonics.
