At the end of 2022, I took part in a giveaway organised by Thonk, an online shop for modular synthesizer products. The goal was to raise money for a charity for Pakistan. The prize was a Plinky, an out of the ordinary synthesizer with a very peculiar interface.
Thonk also had the good idea to include 2 modules from Music Thing Modular.
I was lucky to be among the 4 people who won this giveaway. And I am now the proud owner of these two modules: Startup and Twin Drive.

Startup includes a clock generator in the upper part, with a tap tempo and a split control.
The lower part is an audio mixer. The mixer has no knob. Instead, relative volumes are set by patching : loudest on top, quietest at the bottom, one stereo input. Finally, there are two stereo headphone outputs. I would have preferred two mono outputs, but here we are.
They have a temporary place in the rack, because they were not in my plan. But I'm not going to leave such fine modules on a shelf.
