I just added a couple rw-8s set up to my apex for randomness in conjunction with my gyre.

Is the new gyre with controller basically the same powerbeats as the old one with an advanced controller? Would the old gyre hooked up to the ice cap apex controller module achieve the same as the new generation?

Default flow

I have the 150 with the ice cap controller + netptune apex,, running 3 profiles, running a medium pulse profile,,, and 2 other profles that kick in for about 40 seconds each 6-7 minutes,, a storm (strong pulse) and OFF...

and a MP10 at the other end running random modes,,

I get a variety of flow patterns left and right throughout the day..

The new Gyre isn't anything new, just the controller is new/different. The only real difference is that there are "modes" in the new controller now - similar to those in the Vortechs if you're familiar? Also, now if you can hook up two Gyres to the same controller so that they work in conjunction with each other. Not sure about how it would work with the Apex.

You won't regret it.
