Hi @AlliewayAudio any news on the development of your Eurorack modules?
Also do you consider to release your Audio Series 1 for the upcoming 4ms Meta module?

Greetings @m9dfukc , sorry for the delayed response - I guess the delay itself speaks for where things are at at the moment, haha!
I’m currently in the progress of finishing a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, so have been quite busy between that and internships - in my free time I’ve been occasionally poking at modules #4 and 5 in series 1, but can’t give a precise ETA for their arrival as my free time is very limited at the moment. I promise to update here as soon as I have more to share!!!
As for adding the modules to 4ms Meta, that sounds awesome, but am not sure how that would work with them being premium modules - does Meta support premium modules, or do they need to be open source? Am also curious what the porting process is like, it seems like an awesome module and would love to bring mine over if it’s not too big a process!

As far as I know premium modules are totally possible with the 4ms Meta and the code won’t need to be open source. If you are interested in porting your modules you could drop 4ms an Email and ask for help. I certainly would (even) buy a second license just the have your modules running on the 4ms Meta (if I finally decide to get one)!
Looking forward to what you come up with. Wish you much success with your Electrical Engineering degree!

Awesome - I will check it out when I have the chance 
And thanks for the good luck wishes, much appreciated <3

Just want to say that these are still one of my favourite VCV modules and I would love to see these in Eurorack one day. Currently I am nerding out with Bumper a lot … out of curiosity; was NCOM an inspiration here?
Any news on the “modules 4 and 5 in series 1”?
Edit: Ok, I should have read the manual first 
… NCOM was not mention here but other modules that I have to check out now

Greetings! Thank you so much for your extremely kind words, I am always over the moon to hear from people who enjoy my stuff - please share any music / patches you make here!
I’m honored that you are enjoying the modules - Bumper is probably my favorite module I’ve designed, despite being the first, and I have a working HW prototype on a breadboard (using an old school logic and analog approac, no microcontrollers) that I’ve just been waiting for the free time to build!
I’ve mentioned on my youtube and discord, but may not have said here - I enrolled in college studying Electrical Engineering during the period where I was creating the VCV modules, and classes quickly ate up most of my free time for Allieway endeavors. That being said, I have the fourth module, Zigzag, fully prototyped in VCV with all major functionality working (there are some audio clips in my posts above / the discord), and the fifth module (and beyond) in various states of design/prototype.
I definitely plan to return to both VCV, youtube endeavors, and even some other exciting software/hardware projects, in the not-so-distant future - so stay tuned here and on my youtube for updates!
Thanks so much again for your support, please feel free to reach out anytime

Addendum: So I just realized I got so carried away in giving a much-needed update and forgot to answer the actual question you asked, LOL 
NCOM was not a direct inspiration, but Bumper was very inspired by the Serge ethos of extremely “generic”, almost minimalist modules which have a staggering array of possible applications limited only by the creativity of the patch-programmer. I was simply exploring the design space of these types of “seemingly boring utilities” as they’ve been touched on in the modular space, and noticed that stepped integrators have almost never been played with, despite their widespread utility in other areas of electronics!

Lovely patch, thanks so much for sharing - excited to hear more 
Bumper in conjunction with quantizers can lead to lots of neat melodies <3

Hi @AlliewayAudio have you seen the freshly announced Joranalogue Walk 4? Very much reminds me of Bumper with more channels but less flexibility. I am very much looking forward how the Bumber Eurorack module will look like

Meanwhile I got the Joranalogue Walk 4 … it is semi intuitive so far. Very much would prefer a hardware version of Bumper … any progress on that front? Are you still working on new VCV Rack plugins?

Heya, thanks for the report! Joranalogue Walk 4 looks like a neat module, and feel like it’s definitely different enough to coexist with a hardware version of Bumper 
As for Bumper HW edition, it’s still a work-in-progress, but as an update I actually just recently graduated college and have started an electrical engineering career (sadly not audio-related, but so it goes) - and am getting my little home-lab set up at my new apartment currently so will hopefully be back to active prototyping soon since I have significantly more free time than I did as a student!
Thanks again for checking in and for your support, it really motivates me to know people enjoy my stuff
