Stand installed, everything wired (as cleanly as this amount of wires can be) up and tested. Looking at this picture, sitting in this space, looking around feeling very humbled. I’ve never clicked with a setup as much as I do this. Time to spend some (a lot) of time making it sing.
The Yamaha S80 has an incredibly deep synth engine, with 4 sliders and 5 knobs to access it through its little display. Still, once I figured out how it worked, the editing got much easier. It’s still not great. That said, it still sounds wonderful — don’t let the rompler snobs fool you!
I’ve had this thing for a long time (a wonderful gift from a friend’s family who weren’t using it and had no space) and have always enjoying it. It has sadly been living in the basement since we moved here because there’s just no room (really, it’s huge) in the office. Have really been wanting to use it with the rest of the studio so I crammed it in up here tonight. This likely means I’ll need to re-org everything AGAIN, but glad to have it back where I can use it anytime.
Didn’t come up with any earth-shattering ideas for the 360 camera, but figured since I did a bunch of cleaning and organizing today it would be acceptable to share my studios. I am very very very lucky to have these spaces to work. Many thanks to my family for enduring the noise. These work best in full screen view.
This morning I also finally finished the norns studies. It was not surprising to find that after only a week I had lost a lot of the momentum in comprehension that I had built. Streams is essentially an audio to pitch converter, used as something like a 16-channel freeze pedal. I tried to patch something like this on Axoloti a few months ago and although it worked, I couldn’t get the pitch detection stable enough. I have lots of ideas of things I would like to add to this if my coding skills ever let me make them happen.
