I've used phasor~ driven sequencers a lot, it's a marvelous, flexible clock. I find it super handy to parse any sort of list of events too. [phasor~] > [subdiv~] > [zl.lookup] is an insanely powerful combo. A stupidly fun thing to do is to [function] [shape~] the [phasor~] before it hits [subdiv~]. IIRC, [swing~] works pretty nicely there too. These last six months I've spent tons of time trying to figure out how [dict] and LOM work. Tedious, frustrating at times but eventually pretty useful. cool stuff @logakght

Bought a 200€ SMSL D-6S DAC. Nothing fancy when it comes to features, aside from 2024 state of the art digital to analog conversion, 32bit / 700 something kHz specs, ridiculously low THD / SNAD and balanced XLR outputs. Here are some measurements if one's curious : https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/smsl-d-6s-balanced-dac-review.48813/ TBH, I was curious to see if there'll be a difference with my good ol', mastering grade, German made, boutique SPL Crimson. The D-6S slays it, such a drastic difference my jaw dropped. I'm not sure I've ever heard such pristine sound comoing out of a computer (that includes top studios I've attended sessions at). I'll keep the Crimson for its gorgeous pres and DAC though. I've heard details in my own tunes I didn't even know were there, and I think I have great monitoring and decent ears. But fuck me that's insane one can buy something so affordable which can output such neutral, transparent (sound-stage / frequency balance) and fast (transients) sounds. I'm gobsmacked. Sound-design and mastering will be even more pleasant now, so cool! Ps: the equally cheap and stunning E1DA 9038SG DAC/headphone amp in the picture (forground) is banana too. D-6S is the unit in the back, feeding my Amphion amp & monitors.

I've been offered a Kobo years ago and never looked back, no matter how much I love a book as a physical item.

I envy you if you're reading them for the first time, I've read the whole thing twice and it's stunning sci-fi. I'll mostl likely re-ead them all again.

Yes, yes.

@xox wrote wonderful tunes and a stellar LP.

I believe @Jafs will be in Bxl too.

I've read the whole trilogy a couple of times, I love the books. I'm a few episodes in the series and think it's pretty great entertainement. It can't possibly rival with my imagination, but I'm super curious to see what they'll do, and how they'll visually / narratively translate some of its most mind-bending mindfucks. If you think they've fkd it, do yourself a favor and never watch Foundation eh. Ps:

You're in for a treat !

I think it's an amazing track, very Lanark. Fantastic emotional impact.

LP

Just a wild guess, I wouldn't be that surprise if it was out on Raster. He's headlined a label party a few months ago, so who knows ? The recent live snippets sounds incredible as always, and there seems to be some evolutions in his experiments. Can't wait.

So… I’m now beta-testing the stripped-down teaser of a synth that been discussed a few posts earlier (that synth yeah) : it’s astonishing. And these 1024 partials are delicious, so sharp, paradoxically hyper digital and organic sounding at the same time. The full synth will be a masterpiece, I can’t even imagine how deep it will be. And now back to patching

Bought too.
