Noticing

/283 - Crunching, Compiling

Quick pic tonight — I spent all my time post-bedtime working out the kinks in this patch. I was able to optimize some things to let this thing actually compile. It’s been a real rollercoaster since my last post on this. I currently have a 4 voice (my bare minimum of workability — maybe I can squeak out another?) 2 osc synth with ADSR, and LP/HP filters. This is controlled by 12 parameters on pages 1-3. Page 4 is currently the master reverb which is fed by the synth and stereo inputs to be used with guitar, etc. Now that it’s actually working I need to play with it and I’m sure there will still be a lot of tweaks, but pretty happy that it works at all!

/242 - New, Old

I played one of these at Switched On a few years ago when I was in Austin for work. They had tons of great stuff in the store, and yet this little thing was my favorite — it sounded good, and it was really fun to play. It had been in the back of my mind since then (I really didn’t need another synth) but last week I found an amazing deal so I jumped. I only had about an hour with it tonight, but I still think it sounds great and it still feels fun (minor speedbumps of getting it integrated into the midi and audio routing system notwithstanding) to play. Looking forward to digging in.

(and it can do a quick one-handed version of the Terminator theme too)

I ate my lunch during a meeting so I had a few minutes for sounds. Arps and delays are fun.

/147 - Rhodes of Canada

Quick clip of a stuttery, warbly, hazy patch I made on the S80. Recorded to h4n straight out of the synth with no external processing or effects.

We spent all day outside working on the garden and the beds around the perimeter of the house. Perfect weather and it looks great and I’m exhausted. Pics tomorrow maybe.

/050 - Hazy

Got some serious BoC vibes going on over here tonight.

50 days straight? Crazy.
