To be fair, it says "Outside Broadcasts" on it...

...but yeah, not your typical OB vehicle; perhaps more in a support role. Dog blanket etc.

Definitely a hero for me, basically the first rock/blues guitarist I discovered decades ago. I thought he was inspirational. But I totally get how one person’s fave can be another’s “Meh, overrated”. It depends where you were at when you heard them.

I'm currently staying with my mum for a few days to help her out, and pulled this old white Yamaha RGX A2 out of a cupboard to twiddle with while I'm working. I've always had a guitar leaning up by the desk in the hope that I might learn to play it some day...back home it's a Fender Strat. But I ...

No problem, it's only a mild case.

I recently had an email which began: "I'm Adam, and I shall be triaging your"...[something].

It's only when you start talking about triage that you need to worry.

Language is sound, like the rain, a babies cry, the wind, and it is just as meaningless, one sound against another, the intellect is a human construct, a false representation of who we really are, also, no matter what we believe in we have to always keep in mind the possibility that there is ...

Currently waiting for a new PCB for the "Axis 64" version to arrive from JLCPCB. Fingers crossed... https://i.imgur.com/GtStiRA.jpeg I was looking at the patent for the Lumatone yesterday and finally found that angle that merlyn & co correctly figured out officially documented. If this one works ...

...no, you're right, VMs are a non-starter in the music world.

Actually I don't think I have an answer to this.

We'll have to decide for you then. Compact hardware polysynth....

Hi lorenzosu - welcome to SOS!

If a thousand of us chipped in $100, might that do it?

Yes, if you give me $100K I’ll have a think.

(Seriously though, agree 100% with Eddy.)

All kinds of people were present, bound only by their mutual love of bleeping noises and twinkly lights.

You lot should try it. You'd love it.

Fun day today manning the Gullsonix stall at Synth East, and explaining the benefits of transpositional invariance to bemused punters. It was nice to play the OSCar previously used by Chris Hugget, and marvel at the mysterious VDU-based synth device that accompanied it. (Apparently it's the only one ...

It will be mainly for home recording not performing modelled instruments (like Pianoteq) Pianoteq is very good, and likely to run on more modest hardware IIRC. (It'll even run on RPi.) Personally I'd probably choose a keyboard more for feel than sounds, because there are plenty of great choices for ...

Thumb drives are like socks; just choose your favourite colour.

Taking some stuff for PAT testing today. If I've got a keyboard or sound module that takes a 9V transformer, do they need the keyboard, or just the transformer...?

Tue Feb 18, 2025 1:57 pm

My main reflection on music tuition, looking back, is to engage students in what they want to play. I hated the material I was given for early lessons in trumpet/piano/guitar. Although, at five, they might be a bit too young to have formed strong opinions on that? :D My piano teacher used to hit my ...

Clever. I’m surprised by the design, but I guess there’s a cost saving. (?)
