"Tested and working with external speaker. The internal speaker does not work and it needs to be hooked up to an external speaker. The switch for the drum/tempo machine volume is damaged and you cannot turn the volume up. All other functions have been tested and shown to work."
"Refine your dynamics with Bus TRANSIENT. This intuitive attack shaper gives you immediate, surgical control over the attack and body of any sound source. Add clarity, tighten your groove, and bring every element of your mix into focus."
"We try out Bus Transient, a new effect plugin from Arturia for shaping transients. It provides separate multi-band processing of transient and non-transient elements of the sound. It sharpen and soften attacks and make individual instruments pop in a mix. We will explore its features with a few different types of instrumental sounds, and also check out a few of the factory presets.

"It just keeps coming. An HVAC company installed a mini-split in 2020, right after the warranty goes out, we find that they likely didn't connect the flare nuts right, causing it to slowly leak. They haven't responded about my complaint... but they did tell me it would be $3600 to repair.
I woke up to my wife asking me to help me find our second oldest cat who wouldn't come for food, which wasn't typical. All day she sat, unmoved. Her breath rate at 70. It finally dropped. And, tonight we finally got her to eat some tuna. But I've forced her to drink water... and, well, it just sucks to have your furry friend so sick, and we have lots of them to share their pain.
And our car has had a strange issue... all of this, right before we go on a trip. Makes sense.
Oh well - guess this is just life. I'll take it over the alternative.

A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.
After my recent work with the S-4, Torso reached out to see if I'd like to borrow the T-1 for a couple of months, with no expectations on me making a video or doing anything publicly with it. I found the T-1 to be an exceptional sequencer for noodling around, for both better and worse. Better: you quickly start writing song ideas you wouldn't otherwise come up with, and arranging multiple parts across different instruments is extremely fast. Worse: it was challenging for me to shape the output into a finished song; to get to the finish line, I had to work against (or ignore) some of the T-1's best features.
Together, it makes me think the T-1 would shine most as an idea generator with another sequencer (e.g. the DAW), where you could take output from the T-1 and then further refine it. Really enjoyed my time with it, though.
This also marks the return of the Moog Matriarch. I had sold off the Matriarch because it was too large for my smaller studio, or maybe too large to justify keeping around as a mono device for the table. Then I got a larger studio and immediately missed it. Happy to have it back, even if it still feels too big for what it does.
As for the rest, well, they do what they do well. The Micromonsta 2 is a great synth for filling in the gaps, and is bitimbral; the Arturia Drumbrute Impact is a superb drum machine for live performance; and the Chroma Console is a perfect little sweetener, here taking a mono instrument into the stereo space.
Performed and recorded live to a multitrack output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.
"A piece created with Nintendo Game Boy, @buchlausa Music Easel, and @KORG_INC microKORG S — an ambient electronica track where looping sequences intertwine with random phrases and hand-played harmonies.
The Game Boy runs LSDj, repeating a simple sequence while adding delay using the TIMELINE.
The Music Easel plays arpeggiated phrases, processed through the MOOD MKII with pitch-shift and SLIP effects.
The microKORG S performs synth pads using a long-release tone.
Additionally, in Ableton, field recordings are loaded into the Wavetable synth to create layered pad textures that blend into the performance."
