A little silliness when I really ought to be in bed.

9 August 22: three sequences and effects processor.Sadly enough, it looks like Synthesizers.com, the source from which I acquired my mostly complete clone of the Moog synthesizer Keith Emerson dragged all over the world in the early 1970s, has fallen victim to the pandemic, supply chain problems, and changing preferences for modular synth ergonomics. RIP, Synthesizers.com.

Herewith my first post since 2020 or so (I’ve been doing “other stuff”) and a brief video of my synthesizer (three sequencers playing into a Mackie mixer and a Behringer Virtualizer effects processor) cooking away into my oscilloscope. Also piddled around a little bit in basic effects in Adobe Premiere. Could have done a lot more in After Effects, but it’s too close to bedtime.

Audio quality isn’t great: captured live on my cellphone.
