Tendrils

US customs is now forcing businesses who ship to the USA via Australia Post / Zonos to give them full access to their eCommerce platforms, including all sensitive customer and checkout information. This is an invasion of privacy and has security issues so I refuse to comply. If you live in the USA and still want to buy Tendrils, you can purchase them at Perfect Circuit or Detroit Modular, or alternatively email me at [email protected] and we can organise courier shipping.

I’d like to officially welcome Andrea Gill aka The Tunegirl to the Tendrils Artist lineup! She’s an amazing live performer and we’re happy to have her on board. She’s been digging how Tendrils (and TendrilTies) help to make her live case more playable.

Our landing page just got a spruce up!

A huge restock of Black and Lime cables (including Stakkas & Straight cables) has just landed. There’s a new 120cm Right Angled length available in Black only, but more importantly, they’re the first 2 colours to introduce our new improved compact head design across all lengths! They’ll fit into the tightest of jack spaces, are much easier to pull out and they even weigh less than the OG version. We Love ‘em!

Lots of new features have been added to the Patch Planner.

There are now 5 cable types, a restyled interface with floating windows, more tools and additional key commands. You can now load multiple racks and patch between them, which can be drum machines, synths, mixers, etc. as long as they match the scale of your MG Racks. This gives the ability to plan out complete live electronic setups!

Here's a quick video run-through of the Tendrils Patch Planner.

A brief run-through of the features and workflow of the Tendrils Pa...

The Tendrils Patch Planner has launched:
https://tendrilscables.com/pages/patch-planner

1. Upload a picture of your rack downloaded from ModularGrid using "Show>Screenshot" or copy and paste your MG link.

2. Set the Scale in the Tool panel by clicking two points on either side of a module and input the distance in centimeters. 1HP = 0.5cm.

3. Select a cable colour and the “Draw” tool. Click and drag the crosshair to draw out a cable path. It will automatically smooth out the cable run after it has been drawn, so don’t worry if it’s a bit wobbly!

3. Use the "Edit" tool to adjust the cable shape and path. Click on a cable head to select it, then drag it to move the path, or use points along the wire to change the shape. Clicking anywhere on the wire will create a new point. Double-click on a point to remove it. Pressing Delete or Backspace when a cable is selected will delete it.

4. Once you're happy with your patch, “Save” it to .json file to open and edit it again. There’s also a "Send cables to shopping cart" button to create an order in the web store and an "Export list to text file" button to get a list of the cables used in your patch.

Key Commands:
Cmd/Ctrl + Z: Undo
Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Z: Redo
Cmd/Ctrl + "+" (or "="): Zoom in
Cmd/Ctrl + "-": Zoom out
D: Switch to Draw tool
E: Switch to Edit tool
C: Open colour picker for the selected cable (only works with a cable selected in Edit mode)
Delete or Backspace: Delete the selected cable (Edit mode only)
Escape: Close the colour picker popup

Enjoy!
