    Where did u get it from ?

    I just ordered it straight off the official website. The day I was whining in this thread about how long it took to arrive, it showed up. It really did not take very long at all; they are just a very lean business so I think they forego extra expenses like shipment tracking.

    It feels a lot like Nord Modular but you can edit the patch objects (or roll your own from scratch) and you have some other goodies like SDRAM for samples, SD card (with some streaming objects), real MIDI I/O, USB host, etc. It's open source, so you have access to all the code, and you can write whatever code you can fit in that little processor. But the latency is very low, so it really feels like capital-H Hardware. Pretty brilliant, especially for the price - it came in around $100 USD including a simple wooden case I ordered elsewhere. With custom objects, it crashes fairly often, but that's because basically there aren't barriers preventing you from doing anything, which of course includes the stupid shit I'm doing all over the place. If you stick to the happy path it should be mostly stable, but I'm having more fun rolling my own.

    There's some frustration on the forum by folks who 1) don't code and 2) are unsatisfied with the selection of built-in objects (although there are a lot of decent ones). I'm a total C++ noob but I'm fumbling my way through and making progress. So far I made a simple 32-bit control signal protocol for passing events such as MIDI messages between objects, which should be handy for building a standalone sequencer with my Launchpad Mini as the hardware UI.

    Or an Axoloti.

    I ordered one. A visual patching system where you can edit the C code for each module is pretty brilliant. Now I can drop DSP code in when I can't find the right module for the job.

    How long does shipping usually take to the US?

  3. Binged season 1 of Happy! in one night. It was fun watching Christopher Meloni go pretty balls out with the violence and depravity after watching so much L&O SVU (shhh don't judge me). Just emotionally engaging enough to be interesting too. It felt kinda like a TV series version of El-P's Full Retard video.

    What a vibrant response!! lol

    Give me a couple D batteries and I'll give you 10 purple inches of vibrance

     

    how about C batteries? D is a bit much girth.

     

    but re: vibrant... here is where i'd post "Vibrant Thing" by Q-tip youtube video but it's not necessary since mentioning it is enough.

    Who doesn't like more girth?

     

    Q-Tip is like butter, he can make any corny lyrics sound good. And that was like 20 years ago. And I think he is, in fact, AARP age now.

  5. I haven't posted here in a while, mostly due to my studio being a bit of a mess. I made a new table yesterday though, just from a huge bit of wood (painted black) and some hardware store legs. Now I can have a bunch of stuff out at once and don't have to either have things packed away or stored in makeshift shelving.. though the right corner of the room could use some nice triangular corner shelving perhaps for little bits and pieces, hmm.

     

    I'm digging the L-shaped desk though, it's gonna be way better for my videos than my previous setup, which was basically just the blue board on top of a keyboard stand lol

    also that MS10 isn't mine, I'm babysitting it for a bandmate. I'd never let a synth get like that haha

    Nice setup. I love that you have an Electribe ES-1 right above the OT :)
  6. Can confirm, boomers and older will BLAST Fox News 12 hours a day.

     

    The main difference between the majority of biased left wing news outlets and fox is, there is not a phenomenon of people blasting CNN. Most centrist liberals are not spending their time arguing in forums, or even thinking about the troubles we face. They are very complacent and think, in a technocratic way, that everything is going to work out.

     

    Fox watchers on the other hand are always in a state of emergency, Fox News functioning as an ideological drip of fluids keeping them alive, constantly reinforcing their ideology in what they view as an averse climate for conservatism.

    Truth, holy f, it's like blood for vampires. See also talk radio... and they blast it LOUD too, usually with windows rolled up.
  7. I actually liked Black Summer. There was some stuff I don't think they developed well but I thought it brought enough new to the table. The last episode was pretty confusing though.

     

    Love, Death and Robots was super inconsistent. The whole time I was wondering what the prompts were: "show CGI genitals and make sure someone's hand gets severed," perhaps? Standouts were the first episode, which was great, and the second, which was stupid but its animation blew my mind. The one about the freezer was kind of funny too. I like that really short format, though, it felt like Aeon Flux or something. I hope they do a second season with a little more coherence and quality control.

     

    First few episodes of Russian Doll were great but it petered out quickly after that... I think the whole Groundhog Day thing is hard to sustain without some seriously interesting shit going on.

     

    I really liked Maniac too. It's been a while since I saw it but I remember that one petering out too.
