Loving this one with the skipping record!! Ladder filters for the win. Boy Eats Drummachine with some sounds reminiscent of his earlier works... Im getting some 'Gun Fight' vibes from this jam. Check it out. #synthsky

Heck yeah. Man, I'm bummed I just looked at my Bandcamp and saw I missed a show of yours in the bay! I need a to be better and stay up on this. Any clue on when you are playing out again, never seen you live and I need to change that!

I made that choice 488 days ago & i don't regret it. I heard somebody in aa say the "first year of sobriety will be the hardest year of your life, but it might also be the best." Lots of stuff to face head on that you had been ignoring if you were a degenerate alcoholic like I was. Best wishes!

SERIOUSLY!! I'm so mad, I just built my first pc almost 2 years ago and Windows says this shit to me.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh my!!! Are you ok? See that's what I'm saying. My housemate had a similar thing, he was riding to work & just woke up in a ditch with paramedics over him. Luckily he had a helmet on. Had to have a major surgery. Then 4 weeks later this happened to me and I may need surgery on my hand now. 🤦♂️

Tgr SUPER-Radwagon!!! You could have it mounted on the top of the rear cage to make it easy to park and play, and have a speaker on either side of the rear wheel instead of a pannier.

Sick! I've always wanted to take my modular rig up on a ride but I'm scared I'll break something important, even if I'm careful, you never know. I am actually recovering from a shattered wrist from a mtn biking accident right now, at least I'll heal. 🤣 Maybe I'll make my mother32 case a lil skiff
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
I make every patch 100% live from scratch after a bit of programming in Pam's Pro, no other sequencer yet. So almost everything I do is keytracked in this manner.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks, I do like this one alot, I wish I recorded it on my pc not just this phone recording. 90% of the time I fire up the pc to record it, I lose the flow but for some reason I can usually sneak a phone recording in without scaring away the jam spirits.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
So I'm still experimenting with it myself... Gate out on the keyboard to trigger in on maths or similar envelope generator gives fun pumps, pitch to attenuverter to mult to v/oct on anything you want keytracked gives me fairly accurate key tracking. I need a scope util. Currently tune in Ableton.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
Oooh this sounds like a fun time!
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
Phone probably requires less power so is good enough for that but not high power operations like jamming
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
There's that... A lot of times I'll end a jam by closing up the filter cut off so that's often it for me... but there's just so many points where ot could go silent... maybe the envelope is closed on maths... or I forgot to turn on my pedal board... Or evidently unplugged a vital patch cable. 🤣

Hey Audacity has been free for 25 years. That was my first audio production program... And I did NOT need to know they are selling merchandise right now dang it! 🤣🤣 Coffee mug ordered! Thanks. Ableton is one that once you use it, it's hard to go elsewhere. Cheers!

Ugh. I wish I could get a p3. That's my gas rn They seem to be unobtainium for me though. Was gonna grab when first dropped but waiting for stabilizing and should have just copped then, they went up in price since and im out of work now.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
Yours sounds like the typical issue with flexible power cords on portable devices... do you move/ use the device while charging it? If so you probably just need a new cord. That is how phone cords tend to crap out since they are often being moved around while charging.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
Man that sucks! I'm having a gremlin in my system right now too. Thought it was this old mixer that is definitely needing some work. Removed it and was good for a week. Today issue came back but it was my fx pedals cycling off randomly... Today it was my audio interface which is much scarier.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
Then that is worth every penny!! I bought a module that's sole purpose is to do just that! You plug cv into this and the eyeball flashes along to your patch. He seems to be out of these ones currently but this one looks cool. Maybe he can make customs, he seems chill. www.etsy.com/listing/1466...
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
Definitely a steep learning curve. But one worthy of the climb! I've been at this for a decade in semi modular and a year in Euro- there are still times I can't figure out why I'm not hearing sound! 🤣🙃 So many moving parts that need to be configured properly compared to turning on a keyboard synth.

Have you tried the ES Lil Mikey? Just wondering because it's on my list...

Can I ask what you've tried? It sounds like probably everything obvious has been checked? I was thinking of getting a Lil Mikey or b3faco instrument interface for this... not worth it?

I think this is inviting more dust into the case... I've personally never had any issues with heat in my rackbrute, which is very enclosed, and o don't have ac, but I hate dust in my electronics. You will have different needs depending on where you play your synth though.

My Arturia KeyLab has CV outs: pitch, gate, mod1, mod2. I put pitch into a vca w/attenuverting, then into a buffered mult & send to anything else like clouds or similar I'm trying to have follow my keys. Particularly fun on Plaits drum voices. Adjust the offset to get the tracking right.

You can save on the extra ac and dehum electricity usage by using this handy bottle which I guess was technically always an option. I just let a salesman at the grow shop make a sucker out of me. 🤣 It was pretty standard practice here in NorCal at the time though.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
You have to alter your ventilation cycle to accommodate the CO2. Depending on size of flowering room(ppm meter takes guess work out) for me it was, about 3 hours before "morning" you stop pumping exhaust out, crank AC and dehum on high, with CO2 blasting so that you're~ 1800ppm come "sun up"
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
I like this idea more I have heard of people brewing beer and off-gassing that into the room for a neglible boost in co2 ppm. However, I really feel like you need HPS lighting or REALLY good LEDs to need to increase your co2.

When I was doing indoor gardening, I would have a propane burner running which was not awesome... Lots of heat and moisture. Adding it did seem to boost overall production by a bit but required alot of cost to maintain. Had to add a second dehumidifier and run the ac more, propane cost...

He is quite possibly the least qualified person in the world to have that amount of power. He can't even legally possess a firearm & has shown countless times that he's impulsive & vindictive. If he was in the same room as me eating food & cutlery were in his vicinity, I would be a bit on edge.

We were like damn, we will give them the gnomes back and the cops drove us there to do it, we apologized to the old woman who lived there and then the cops drove us back to my friend's. One of my favorite police interactions.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
Reminds me, as a teen I saw a yard FULL of gnomes... like, 1000s!! So my friend and I took two and hopped in the car and left. Get to my friends house & a helicopter spotlights us, cruisers&suvs swarm, about 12 guns drawn. Come to find a neighbor saw us and thought we were burglars. 🤣

Comparison is the thief of joy my friend. I've wasted 15 years of my life growing weed mostly for people that didn't appreciate it. Living in tents. Often for free or pennies on the dollar. Even got robbed at shotgun point by a boss when it came time to pay us but his meth habit had kicked back up.

I built my soil from scratch. I get alot of amendments from Jeremy @ Buildasoil. Their cover crop seed blend and reamendment bags are great. Just gotta source sphagmum peat moss, sand, volcanic rock, and get a couple yards of compost from a local farm.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
Then when I plant in the spring I cut the cover crop down and let it be green mulch. Feed em liquid fish hydrolysate, kelp, and molasses but mostly water and reapply Epsom salt twice during the season. Once middle of veg, once at budset, and top dress with more ewc and compost at budset as well.
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
I do a hybrid Clackamas Coots style, I recharge it after harvest by adding kelp, alfalfa, feather, crustacean/crab meal, glacial rock dust, epsomsalt, bu's blend cow manure, ewc, and sand and rice hulls then put down a cover crop seed blend of mostly clover, flax, lentils peas, and vetch.

The last time I had a power outage...
e.g. Alice Lastname (@xmissedthespot.bsky.social) reply parent
I used to keep it old school when that happened. I always keep a gang of candles on hand, propane and a grill for camping/cookouts... But I added some solar led lighting, a Jackery power bank, and 2 solar panels to my camping gear 2 years ago and power outages since have been pretty fun.
