Re: mini-milton gate outs

2008-06-04 by elemental

Sounds good!
Hoping to get a Mini-Milton or 2 to complement the Frostwave Fat
Controller I recently found on eBay. Is there an estimated price tag
yet? ETA?

It looks wicked, loving the circular design. I assume it would be
possible to link 2 up so that you can construct a 16-step sequence?

Thanks
