Aye. You don't hear too many things using the name minstrel nowadays.. regardless of its original meaning (of course its medieval). I reckon the more recent association is too strong. Seen them in the shop today. Would they have been called minstrels if they were white chocolate? 😅.. probably not. T...

No. I'm quite sensitive to it as I/we've had various hosting & bot issues in the past. I'm always expecting something tbh.. and we are overdue some drama I reckon tbh haha No issues here anyway. I've had some updates on my phone recently & chrome is sometimes a bit sow opening up §.. as it is other ...

Ah.. it is racism. If they were conscious of history & other peoples feelings, they wouldn't have used the minstrel / golly images. Lyons Tea in Ireland had a massive campaign with Minstrels , for decades.. right up to the 90s possibly. Can't remember. You could get tokens and put them towards cups,...

What's a derail? I'm just glad that Marks & Spencer rebranded Midget Gem sweets cos the name is offensive to people with dwarfism... I see the point.. buy its a shame that 2 meanings can't co-exist. I get it though. Language evolves when it's alive. It's to be expected. Midget is a common enough co...

Need to attend a fancy dress party as George Michael, but don't have time to grow designer stubble? Smearing treacle on your face before applying a generous handful of muesli around your shaving lines is a good substitute when combined with a pair of shades, stonewashed jeans, white t-shirt and blac...

Link for hitperson kickstarter?

The metaverse is as fucked as here so

Rant incoming: NFTs are shite. People are stupid if they part with wealth for this stuff. At least with a fart in a jar, you have a jar and a fart. Bad value is still bad value though. I've seen the utter waste of kids buying power-ups and skins/costumes for their characters in games.. and my mp3 co...

Ah sure.. If we had nothing to complain about.. it would be impossible to find something to aspire to.

Apartment 'living'.. if you can call it that - is great.. but there does come a time where you have too much stuff crammed into a limited space.

Space & free time are as precious as gold.

As are permanent decorations, potted plants & artsy stuff.. I think.

Everything looks bare & dusty AF. Perhaps you could arrange some more permanent decorations? A few potted plants and some artsy stuff can make a huge difference to a room :geek: Ah yeah, we have all the typical stuff you'd expect to find in the room.. just there is a lack of density now. Furniture ...

Hate taking down the decorations. That's one of the benefits of not putting any up. ;) Or never take them down 😄 - A mate of mine a few years ago.. put a black bag over the tree & tried to bring it upstairs to store in the spare room (nothing else he swore.. ). Half way up the stairs, it all fell a...

How's all the circulation stuff feeling with c19 Barfunkel? Has it complicated the usual aches & pains much?

Hope you recover from the bug ASAP

Several different jobs in one inconvenient megaslog.

Never ending

What do you make of pamela's new workout Tim?

I'm completely rewiring my room atm (overdue).. to coincide with finally amassing the last few bits to get my modular going.

I've got a PNW and really looking forward to using it. Did you get any of the extra breakout modules with it. I got the pexp1.

I'm not just saying this because I have one.. but anything like the usamo is gold. I was never happy with the tightness if drum patterns or sequenced synth lines, be they with the internal seq of the box or via a step seq etc.. from live. Always found things sounding better without live being involv...

Midi splitter..

I've got a kenton thru 5 and a midiburner thru 10.. which was great value & can recommend the quality. Supposed to have faster chips in it. Its been 100%

Sorry for the spellchecker malfunction there


*as opposed to buying a drum machine unit with an inbuilt midi cv interface also

Yeah.. usamo is fine with multiple midis.. just don't swamp it with 5 sequences all running simultaneously. I wouldn't rely on the tr8s or similar getting clock from live and hoping for a tight signal to the dfam. COMPUTERS / Ableton is whack AF.. especially with USB imo. I'm lucky enough to have 2 ...

Bingo! I have a couple of expert sleepers USAMO boxes. They work great. I have the dfam being triggered by the tr8s, which is getting clock from the usamo. Never tried using the ksp as clock. I find the combo of the drum machine and dfam a good match.. and it's cool getting the audio of both lined u...
