Ok. So I bought a Behringer System 55. Some may mock the thing as not being as powerful or expressive as modern gear. But I couldn't figure out what to get for less than a mortgage or two. But it's really really cool imho. Also I love Tangerine Dream - Haha! 😅

Decided to replace my 4, partially sketchy, 2hp Tune modules with a very sexy, multi-function, micro Ornament & Crime.

Wish I knew better back when I got those 2hps...

Hello hello! Just discovered this instance - Whew!

By way of introduction, I went to music school, but then became a software engineer. Now I both record and publish original music, and make programs to do so algorithmically.

What I listen to, play with friends, practice, study, and record all seem to be different. Similar experience, maybe?

Links to places like my journal, https://ology.github.io/tag/music/ are in my profile. :)

Anyone else been to https://www.mi.edu/ ? I went to GIT for , way back in '87, when everyone in LA (but me) wore spandex and had their "long hair image." Haha.

(And I still wish I could have afforded to go see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, back when they were just another L.A. band. To this day, I still can't believe I survived Hollywood on $600/mo.)

My synth with gaping chasm, awaiting a fresh batch of modules to fill the void.

Here is a little write-up that I did a while ago with code, and audio of saxophonist John Coltrane's mysterious circle diagram - https://ology.github.io/2022/04/23/coltranes-mystery-music-diagram/

I got a transparent, jewelry display-hand to hold my patch cables. It's glued to the top of a pickle jar that is filled with marbles. Ha :-)

Pro-tip: Before buying a bunch of used modules, go ahead and get (too many) black 6mm screws - Ha.

Been working on a way to save and visualize patches with my https://metacpan.org/dist/Synth-Config programming API. It's a work in progress, but here's a basic patch (image attached). Trying to figure out how to best represent knob/switch/slider settings currently...

Turns out the (possibly tedious) that I recorded today, 2024-04-20, is exactly 4 minutes and 20 seconds long. Huh

My new (used but working) Rossum Electro-music "Morpheus" stereo morphing Z-plane filter - whatever that means - Woo! :D

"Warps" - I approve. Very simple functionality. Fully intuitive, as are the other Mutable Instruments modules, that I have.

@stevenray Yep, Already know what an envelope generator is. Whatever the "universal slope" thing was, was my curiosity.Didn't know they were the same.

Yep. The used Mutable Instruments, Clouds module, that I bought, arrived mostly, but not entirely, broken. Sadness again.

Non-musical, heavily tweaked glitches and #noise. Signal: From my E352 "Cloud Terrarium" to my new M.I. "Clouds" directly to my mixer, with no effects added.

@ology@musician.social avatar

To the handful of people who invent modules: PLEASE, for the love of all that is holy, include an "Examples of how to use this thing" in your documentation (which appears to be geared to other electrical engineers).

This is what some of your fellow inventors do for the software they devise, that would be otherwise incomprehensible.

Thanks in advance!

@eikenberry Slow going indeed! I'm writing a "librarian" app that allows you to save, tweak and visualize your patches. It's at https://metacpan.org/dist/Synth-Config and is a work in progress...

Chord chart for new track ‘1986’.
Inspired by the All In setting on my UA 1176 compressor, this riff has full chord strumming that needs a thinner pick. This might be the track that requires me to mic the Half Pint. As good as my other amp is into my audio interface, the Half Pint sounds better, even recorded on my iPhone.

@ambergrey @NigelTufnel My favorite pick ever: Thin, tortoise shell 0.75 Pickboy with holes to grip better :D

@ology@musician.social avatar

I guess Revolver is my favorite Beatles album, in that I like every single song. All other albums have tunes I skip every time. What is your favorite ? "None" is an acceptable answer, I guess. Haha

@jake4480 Ohhhh yeah Rubber Soul. I need to give that a re-listen!
