We're set up at Keane's in the Bronx for a night of Pogues music! The cymbal on the right had a crack that was repaired recently. First time I'm using it on a gig in five or six years!
Nearly 70 loops and one shot sounds that originated from an acoustic drum kit and mangled with violence. Plenty of fodder to drop in and use straight away or cut glitch and build your own elements.
Magazine talking about Roland using Artificial Intelligence. You would think this is a very recent article, but it is from the Roland Users Group magazine, from 1988.
Speaking of the Ensoniq VFX-SD, it was advertised as the “First Music Production Synthesizer”. They must have meant within the Ensoniq family of synthesizers, because this came out in 1989, and before it, there is at least one that precedes it, in 1988. See reply to learn what it is.
Found a neat closeup drum cam of Chika drumming during Hanabie's Denver show. I usually like watching the drummer in any live show, but Chika was really far to the back of the stage at NYC. (Was able to get a good view of Matsuri's guitar playing though!) It's cool to get a really close up view of Chika rocking out from this angle! :AquaYeah:
