Why tho

Boy howdy, I disconnect from the news cycle and get in for a real shock every weekend, lemme tell ya.

Real talk, 5-pin MIDI DIN is the shit. Just one single way to connect the thing, clearly labeled, easy as can be to just unplug and swap to a different device.

Anyone got any suggestions for a Mac-compatible editor for the JV-1080? My eyes are getting too old to look at a digital display from 1994 like this.

I need VST developers to stop marketing things based solely on how grungy and digital they sound. Hell, for the same price I can just buy an old rompler and get authenticity.

The older I get, the more I understand the appeal of pentatonic runs

Gonna disconnect from the news just for today and Friday so I can celebrate my birthday, and my wife's. Back to gnashing my teeth every time I doomscroll on the weekend.

Easy, Aliens

If you ever need to experience what drugs feel like without pissing hot for a potential employer, by all means go through most of Baki the Grappler and its sequel series. What an absolute fever dream of a battle manga.

BYTEMAPPER//HELIOS.III is an animated exploration of an audio-reactive, retro-inspired environment set to the music of ByteMapper (@bytemapper.bsky.social) youtu.be/hN-hb4IYDhg

I know the modern era is all about that digital shininess and clean sound. I get this big dumb smile on my face anytime I hear stuff coming back from my Portastudio tho. Thing is just mojo with a power cord.

Peep my wife’s hydrangea tho

Subterranean Homesick Alien

A week or two in now with this obtuse Roland D-110, and I think I've finally figured out how it works. The manual is one of the most confusing documents I've read, but that's all good. It's got a vibe for sure.

Sicckkkkkk

Living for the era of cheap rack gear. I might not ever afford the likes of a MKS-80, but by golly I can snag a D-110 for less than the cost of a decent fuzz pedal.

Dropping a new song tomorrow

My new hyperfixation is just going to be Talking Heads
