Here's a beater to avoid.
This was my first car and I fucking hated it.
Oh shit me too. Good memories of blasting the 18£ Snare Rush Mix at full volume with the windows down, though.

shrunk the modular down to one case. sold off like 3 rows over the last year and bunch of other stuff to condense/focus on what i have time for and what inspires me i guess.
How do you like the O_C and what do you use it for?

i recall when obama was president interviewers would often ask people in the rural areas. . small towns or conservative places how they felt about Obamacare and w/o fail they'd say they hated and it was a mess and had caused harm.. then they'd ask the same people very next question "how do you feel about the Affordable Care Act?" and w/o fail.. oh we love it it's greatly expanded access to healthcare and without i don't know what i'd do.
the branding by the republican party was effective to the detriment of republican supporters which is typical. and people are so uninformed.
what we should deny them is fox news, OAN, NewsMax and facebook. but ya know.. mericuh.
but also liberals are SO EMOTIONAL and IRRATIONAL

people would work on it or they would go without water. it doesn't have to be a surplus of labor sitting around. people can stop working in one field and go work in infrastructure if its needed
Fuck water, they should work on BRAWNDO infrastructure. It's got what plants crave!

I was a big LGPT fan and gave up trying to proselytize anyone a long time ago, so I'm glad it finally has a good spiritual successor made by someone who gets what it's all about. I don't know if I'm going to pick up one of these. I'm leaning towards not, but I'm glad it exists.

Always struck me as weird it came out on Rephlex anyway, nice to hear the backstory on that.
I agree but "nice to hear" = the backstory is being documented somewhere? Or... as in it would be nice to hear this backstory? Cos I don't see it anywhere

Weird, I thought I liked dub but I don't like any of this stuff.

It was a fun and versatile synth but sounded weak even at release, let alone now. Hipsters gave it a bad rep too, unfortunately.
Last post from 2013, eh? Sounds like we're about due for a MicroKorg revival.

Parallel World is a very good track
Weirdly been listening to this several times a week lately. Excellent balance of hope, mystery, and of course trademark Actress fuckedupness

korg monologue is a great little monosynth that's in yoru price range though i don't think you can save patches.
Not only can it save patches, it's one of those synths that can perform program changes quickly enough to serve as a drum kit. It also has extensive CC spec and is just overall very responsive and snappy. The sequencer kind of sucks for all but the most basic of tasks, but it can be kind of fun.
The Elektron models both seem great though, and come with the all-important sequencer.
Otherwise, I might go for one of the budget Modal synths in this range. That'd probably give you the most sound design options.

Yeah... eurorack doesn't even seem that expensive now relative to most vintage stuff. You could get a decent smaller system for the price of basically any 80s Roland now. Which is kind of fine because there's so much good modern gear now.

War of the Worlds (Spielberg version)
Thanks for validating. My friends talk so much shit about this, but as even-keeled popcorn horror, it's pretty damn good. Maybe it's the happy ending that bothers people.

It's pretty goofy that she was trying to sue Gorilla Glue tho. Like, you did a dumb, just accept it. Maybe her health insurance doesn't cover it otherwise though :|

If only Tidal was a Max library, it'd make everything much easier for me
If only everything was a library. I'm so sick of 99% of problems (or just foregone possibilities) being compatibility issues. I hope someone solves this problem in the next 20-50 years.

Yep, once you've had a taste of the fluid frontier, everything else feels like a toy.

Some (maybe useless) thoughts:
- Pitch bend is 14-bit - as long as you only need 16 per (virtual) device, you can just assign them to different channels
- You can also bake things like inertia (or "fine" controls) into your synths in order to fake higher resolution
- Anywhere you can use OSC, a lot of these resolution problems melt away, and so does mapping/organizing, which imo is potentially an even larger time suck

Chiastic Slide up to Gantz Graf was incredible. When the lines were blurry between their main output, Gescom, and the remixes. And the EPs and albums mirrored each other. And they were making futuristic sounds on what was probably pretty dated hardware at the time (RSD-10, DX-100, ASR-10).
Quaristice and the remixes around that time were also excellent. Same with Exai.
When NTS is good, it is very good. SIGN is still growing on me. I hope to hear new remixes very soon (I understand the SOPHIE one was actually 5+ years old?)

That is so sad. I enjoyed so many of his posts. RIP

I like to think this is a highly personal, idiosyncratic hobby/occupation/whatever. Maybe this is less the case than it used to be, but based on the sheer number of tools out there I think it's still true. That's a fucking beautiful thing imo and I don't wanna step on those flowers too much.
Therefore I am pretty hesitant about prescribing what people should do or use - I am much more interested in chatting about the possibilities and what gets them excited. There's certainly a practical aspect to that, but maybe what us jaded vets see as "blingy" some newcomers see as comfy or as an extension of some aesthetic thing they are enthusiastic about. Making wrong purchases is part of the deal - for some folks that leads to learning what they don't like, and for others, it might mean learning the joy (really!) of squeezing the most out of tools ill-suited for the purpose.

I guess what I left out or could not verbalise is that I feel most people do not want to go through the "learning your tools and your preferred way of working" phase.
This can take years, though, and it can change along with your tastes and experience.

If I was starting over from the beginning, I'd rather have the MC-101 (or the TR-6s) than a whole bunch of other shit I churned through early on: TR-606, DJX, TR-626, MC-50mkII, RY-30. The only thing I still have and occasionally use from those days is the TX81Z. Hell, I am tempted to replace my volcas with a TR-6s. Seems like a pretty nice, if limited, little beat box.

As it so happens I found a new artist on Bandcamp last night. Problem solved.
Who's that?
How does the World view America these days?
