I had a lot of fun last night jamming on my TD-3-MO with some drum loops going. I don’t think timecodes work in Postalgic yet so jump to 29:05 for some ‘good stuff’.

My buddy got me a new toy! Very excited to start playing with it. This will be my first analog synthesizer. Not counting the microKORG I had briefly in my twenties.

Tonight we saw EMF and Spacehog live. EMF was great. Spacehog was… Spacehog? Their music is… not that great. But they were very entertaining: the guitarist got very mad about his equipment not working and at one point shoved his brother and lead vocalist over. Literally shoved him hard and he fell flat on his back on stage for a bit while everyone looked around in confusion, trying to figure out if it was a bit. But it didn’t seem to be a bit, and they got it together. I guess brothers fight, I wouldn’t know, having never had one.

I started to get the itch to buy a Behringer TD-3 so I could make some proper acid on stream and managed to hold out long enough to realize I should just see if there is a good iPad version of the 303. And, sure enough, this Pure Acid app kicks so much ass. I’m kind of cheating in this set as I’m just using and abusing its randomized composer button.

This setup is pretty nerdy. I’ve got the SeqTrak sending midi clock sync to Pure Acid to keep them in sync. Then MIDI is going from the MPK to the SeqTrak and through to Pure Acid to help control both. Audio from Pure Acid is going into the SeqTrak so it’s part of its FX processing and even responds to the note repeat function. It’s hella cool.

I got a new toy today. Here’s hoping I make something I’m proud of with it.

Had a lot of fun last night with this. Unfortunately I fear I will be using my sample from this hilarious TikTok for the rest of my life.

This Hz thing is really crazy. It took me a minute to figure out how to load and run the examples, and they’re all really impressive.

Hz is a code-powered IDE for crafting intricate soundscapes and composing electronic music with surgical precision. Tailored for the technically driven, Hz empowers you to sculpt audio with deliberate intent.

Memorial Day techno stream on the SeqTrak

More SeqTrak live noodling from two nights ago, forgot to post it.

Another music stream. This one went better so I saved it.
