It doesn't feel good to say this, but I think this is quite misguided. It's a popularity contest. The situation calls for a beautiful whore with a heart of gold, which is exactly what nearly half the country sees when they look at Trump.However we approach the next election cycle, I think the important thing is to focus on issues that matter in potential debates, especially climate change and health care. Attacking Trump won't work, and we can't afford to fuck this up, regardless of whatever goat-fuck of a "strategy" he comes up with.

Supercollider has me dreaming big and about ready to sell half my gear, but I'm still quite incompetent at it and getting frustrated by really dumb problems that I seem to be equally incompetent at googling.

Accidentally bought this somehow thinking it was the new Neil Scrivin (wtf) ... not bad though

This is kind of an interesting point... it could be construed as a way of defying the phenomenon of time perceived as moving more quickly with age.Come now, it's like 40% of their discography ago. Aencient!

Sourdough was breezy and fun.
Reading Woman in the Dunes now and it's OK. Waiting for some shit to happen but maybe it'll just be all dreamlike the whole time.

TT-606 is pretty lush. Sequencer not as freaky as I expected but very smooth workflow (e.g. quickest track/song mode I've ever used) and the sounds are crispy and buttery like fried chicken. Surprisingly the toms did not sound good through the BAM, but they have their own nice pseudo-reverb which wasn't obvious in the YouTube demos. It's got a lot of bounce, even swing off, and it begs for a buddy - thinking about what to pair with it... monologue, nanoloop, MnM, hmmm...

Oh, yes, even moreso.But would your av suck it so seductively

I'm due for new mixer, interface, and monitors, and I think I'll upgrade soon. At first I thought I wanted a mixer, but now I think I might go without because mixing/routing in software seems so much quicker and more flexible, and I don't like the idea of having a big mixer in my little room. I've always wanted parametric EQ and 3 or 4 sends per channel, though.
-
I thought so at first too, but I came to actually like the look. Pretty much just the Cyclone logo is ugly, and I can cover that with a sticker. It's going to be nice to have something that's -just- a solid beatbox again. And the sequencer has tricks my Elektrons are gonna be jealous of.oooh I'm eternally tempted to get a TT-606. The only thing stopping me is how ugly the new ones are :P
Most of all, though, those silky smooth hi hats, baby.
Yea, so bad!! No wonder MI doesn't want to be associated with it!When i think about a microfreak i think it would be cool, then i look at the youtube videos and this subsides

Now I have a FWP of wanting a glass kettle.I spent way too much on a glass kettle because i want to see the water bubble

My feeling as well, but I'm pretty dissatisfied with all of mine, so it might be time for me to clean house a bit and snag one.Yeah the Skulpt looks and sounds really great. If I didn't already have tons of other pocket sized instruments I'd definitely get one.
In other news, I just ordered a TT-606.
-
Anyone fucked with that Modal Skulpt? The more I ogle it, the better it looks. It seems like what I initially always volcas to be: a small-ish, battery-powered synth with a half-decent built-in sequencer, capable of getting a bit weird but good for making sketches. To be fair, volcas have good sequencers, but they're more of the primitive and rough-and-ready variety (except maybe the Kick and Drum?).

I can get behind that for the most part. You might like the lines (monome) forum a little better... or you might hate it even more.sorry that was a mean comment. what i really meant was i hate the elektronauts forum.

Yep. Hardware is excellent now, to the point that there's very little reason to buy vintage gear unless you're a collector. And you have us, the sea of talentless douches who'll probably never broadcast beyond YouTube or Soundcloud, to thank for that.
I think you have us talentless tech bros to thank not just for TE but for pretty much the entire deluge of hardware that's around now. Cash strapped amateur artists and a handful of professionals aren't enough to keep Elektron, DSI and Korg afloat.I hate the TE market. Talentless tech bros who instabuy anything they put out so they can make ambient stranger things music. Their high lonely wages drive up the price so that the poor artists can’t afford it anymore.
So: you're welcome.

I think you hate me lol.I hate the TE market. Talentless tech bros who instabuy anything they put out so they can make ambient stranger things music. Their high lonely wages drive up the price so that the poor artists can’t afford it anymore.
That said, I cringe at pretty much everything they do except the POs.

Hulu keeps recommending this to me and I can't even look at its little poster picture without getting irritated. If it was a person I would have a strong urge to punch it in the face or kick or in the groin.Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Comedy about a police department. It's ok. Meh. The humor is not my cup of tea at all. Don't like the Jake Peralta character. So that doesn't help. Reminded me a bit of The Thin Blue Line with Rowan Atkinson.
What are you consuming right now?
