Thanks to you and @auxien for the response! That Midihub device looks amazing.

Not critical at all but I'm curious so I'll ask here. Is there a hardware device that will take a midi gate in as a trigger (hopefully with the ability to filter which notes to accept) to send random modulation of selected midi cc's? Drambo for iOS does this and it's one of the cooler tricks I've ever found. I've never seen this in hardware. Squarp Pyramid comes close but that's clock-based rather than MIDI gate.

Went for 4 hours on Friday, turned out pretty fun Tracklist

Thanks! This definitely gives some info I'm looking for.

A bit off-topic, but not sure if there's a better place to ask this. Does anyone know of a book that specifically gives an audit of costs for different wars? I know Piketty touches on this in his Capital books but I'm hoping someone knows of a book that's more focused on this specific subject. Thanks in advance!

All Jungle and Breaks on this one. Enjoy! Tracklist

Looking forward to this. Otik's been consistently great.

Probably differs greatly depending on what styles you prefer but I'd go for the Adrenalin EP. IMO it's all at least baseline decent though.

Why is Aphex Twin's cousin out here pretending to be from Jamaica?

I want more stuff like No More Dreams 03, please.

Born in Eugene, raised in Springfield. In the 90's, there was not much of an IDM scene but hearing "On" on KWVA is a big reason I'm here now. Rave scene in the late 90's was a lot of fun out there.

I agree with the general sentiment behind this. And I want to stress that the following is a general interest in the tangents surrounding this topic, rather than surface contrarianism. Overconsumption can lead to a host of pitfalls. But not necessarily. It's realistic questions of conditioning on 2 levels here: the capitalist consumer, and the electronic music fan. The former is conditioned to support their surroundings and enrich themselves through purchase. The latter is conditioned to largely (some heavy lifting with that word, don't want to get too long-winded) expect futurism/innovation. These two conditions usually coexist in the same person. Would it not be more reasonable to ask manufacturers to themselves "take a break" in this situation? It's an easier argument in relation to capitalism. I'd be surprised if there's not major oversaturation in the market of synths/etc over the last 5-10 years. Regarding innovation, that is an unavoidable nature of this world. Your comparison of the Volca FM to KQ Dixie (which rules, good shout) demonstrates this. The innovation part is why I still think referring to the Volcas and instruments like them as toys is largely misguided. Part of innovation is being able to make technology more affordable and accessible. The Volcas are one of the greatest achievements to that goal. But an even *bigger* advantage is MIDI. MIDI makes the idea of its physical components largely moot, imo. Going back to my first post, most can access a DAW. Not too hard (or expensive) to get that to open up deep capabilities in the Volca FM (for instance). I honestly wish there was more focus on comprehensive MIDI (really MIDI 2.0 but hell I'm already old) in compact gear coming out. Best of both worlds, less need for physical resource, blah blah blah. Thanks to anyone who read all this.
