Thank you for this Will. Looks like a very worthwhile update and as it happens there is a Yoshimi part in one of my Forum Album tracks. I'll update my devices this weekend

Thanks Will :) For the sake of completeness I'm going to add another option for those wanting a custom email address based on their name. There are companies out there that have realised people want this and they have registered vast numbers of domains which are surnames and who offer a 'click and ...

It's a bit late for some people maybe, but for those who can, I thoroughly recommend getting your own domain name. It's definitely value for money. No matter who you use for a hosting service you can have a website and email address of your choosing. For example mine is musically.me.uk, and my ...

I thought that was excellent, great work guys!

Where are we on the IP V4/IP V6 debacle? Trying to build a sufficient body of relevant user data to try and track down the problem... I'm in touch with some folks behind the scenes (thank you to those who sent me the information I asked for in my previous post in this topic) and awaiting some ...

Why am I reading a thread about people who care about the largely undetectable (unimportant) little differences in recreating a track by some grey haired rockers that few care about, it says a lot, about me and you. Clearly there are people who do care about the largely undetectable differences ...

I wouldn't describe myself as an organist but have taken up that mantle on occasion. The XK5 is a superb instrument, a friend of mine has one with the additional manual and a pedalboard. This pianist can't get enough of it and this synth fan considers it a synth albeit a very specialised one ...

It was deliberate. According to the powers that be, the new ordering is based on popularity and post counts.

Sorry Eddy - if the issue seems to be with ipv6, do you want the ipv4 number or the ipv6 number (or are they the same?) IPv6 is more of interest to the tech folk but if you have IPv4 also then please include it. They both identify you as a unique internet user* (and effectively serve the same ...

There is some investigation going on behind the scenes but more cases would be useful. If/when anyone experiences the slowdown issue with the forum over the next few days please let us know (either by posting here or sending me a PM), citing your IP and browser version. If you don't know your IP ...

I ordered a white mug with the red logo and the product description said it was dishwasher-safe

This sounds very much like arcade game music from the '80s. Nice!

G. Stoner Hilcot returns... Can we have a little more detail about G. Stoner Hilcot please Drew? I must admit that I'm intrigued too. I know who all the clues point to - but he's been dead for 14 years so are we talking about an AI creation or did you dig up some obscure recordings? It is that ...

I have to take my hat off to the guy who made this - he's done a great job. Top marks to the chap creating this modern homage to the SID. Totally agree! The designer and builder is, in fact, a woman -- Sheila Dixon; and she's done a bang up job. Oops! :oops: I've updated my original reply :thumbup:

It took a staggering amount of time, but I have 50 seconds in skeletal form! :clap: :D https://audio.com/don-music/audio/chiptune-8-aug-15-v1 This sounds like proper chip-music to me! May have something that will work! https://audio.com/don-music/audio/050825-gtr-v2 Much as I'll defer to Andy when ...

I have to take my hat off to the lady who made this - she's done a great job. The SID chip is stuff of legend and rightly so, it was way ahead of anything else until Paula appeared in the Amiga and that's an unfair comparison given that Paula came out later within the context of a 16-bit system with ...

I'm very happy with my Korg 2600 M

Their upgrade prices do feel to have gone up in the last year or two but you do get a lot for the money. I upgraded to V collection 11 but only because the additional content was worth the upgrade price for me.

A good tip is to re-read the manual again after a period of ownership. It's surprising what you can learn once you think you know the gear. I'm glad it's not just me that does this! :lol: Everything* needs a manual, preferably a good one. * Tom Carpenter (Analogue Solutions) demonstrates this in ...

There have actually been a number of new C64s over the past few years or so. One of the YouTubers has now bought the name and is able to begin blessing some of the latest offerings with the Commodore name, livery and logo. It's been a fascinating journey. Whilst I can search and find one, where is ...

An excellent outcome! Well done and it's good to hear that Spitfire were willing to help also

BillB wrote: ↑Tue Jul 22, 2025 2:05 pm Is this still about the Polybrute 12? In which case, the above post should perhaps be moved to that thread?

Yep - I've now merged both threads into this one.

Also, I agree with Tony (and others) insofar as the PolyBrute 12 is something more special than the average special thing

The second is very nice but I love this first one!

A recent visit to family friends in Norway saw me stood accused of being the obstacle to my own success. After laughing and explaining that I just like messing with synthesizers I was told I was wasting my talents. I’d be very grateful if SOS or some benevolent forum poster could explain how and w ...
