Our very own Blue Nautilus takes us behind the scenes of Seaside Modular and the journey of bringing the Proteus algorithmic sequencer from concept to physical Eurorack module.
This episode explores the realities of being a small modular manufacturer, going from Python script to VCV Rack release to hardware production. We dive deep into the challenges of product development – managing feature creep, navigating conflicting feedback, coordinating beta testing, and the countless decisions that shape a final product.
This isn’t a product advertisement (the Proteus is currently sold out anyway) but rather an honest examination of what it takes to bring innovative ideas to the modular community. Whether you’re curious about module development or considering your own manufacturing journey, this episode offers insights into the process.
