‘Tis the season! 🎃

Suurin este suomalaisen musan ja leffojen kehitykselle on, että fanihenkilöarvostelut eivät vastaa mitenkään tuotteen todellista tasoa, ja pahimmillaan rapauttavat julkaisevan aviisin mainetta. On selvää, että 1.5-2 tähteä voi järjestään nippaista helvettiin.

Tämä EI koske Sisu 2-leffaa, muuten.

In two weeks, join BAFTA-nominated composer, musician and producer @peppepappa.bsky.social in conversation with GI.Biz features editor Lewis Packwood at MCM Comic Con London.

I do. Don’t have one, but a few predecessors are in my locker.

Sharp objects and stones are forbidden. 🤣🤣🤣

Okay, someone obviously is talking at the EGX in London. @remedygames.com

How did you find it? Cannot find anything here… (no news there as such)

Goddammit! ❤️

Aaaand have a good one! 👍

I have those, but in black. COOL STUFF!

I’d love to find an Emulator II or III. Used to have four E4xt Ultras plus an E4 keyboard and am missing that certain punchy sound. Converted my whole E-mu library to Kontakt too many years ago. Been in-the-box since 2000 or 2001.

I’m glad to answer. Most sold stuff had quirks, and early processors/midi were usually very laggy, not coherent and midi lag was sometimes varying a lot → synth gets sold. Or, the UI was shitty. Or calibrating was a pain, or this or that. What I’ve kept are solid pieces that are bliss to work with.

I had a virus, but sold it long ago - one of the chips started acting up, and had it fixed, then dumped it. Same with Nord Modular G2X. Just heating up, then garbage out. Centennial DX had an expansion that made programming it a tad awkward. And the gold plates kept falling all the time.

I sold a few of those, mostly due to maintenance costs and workflow changes. Some of them are retired and in flight cases. I found no fun in chasing old chips for Oberheims, for instance. DX7 was crap, noisy, and FM8 is easier to use. They’re tools, and no emotional ties to anything…

Forgot the Hartmann Neuron VS. I had a fullblown one, but sold it due to various reasons and noticed a VS ran perfectly in an old computer. It still does, by the way. Some pics were in my then Twitter account (no longer exists).

Pedals: some distortion and cheap compressors, a few odd delays and a very cheap zoom pedal for bass effects. Most of the effecting was in the box and a shitload of plugins all over the place.

Oh, there were quite a few. A modular synth, Studio Electronics Se-1x, omega 8, Oberheim Matrix-12 and XPander, Kyma, Haken Continuum, John Bowen Solaris, Macbeth m5, DX7 centennial, Nord Modular G2X, Roland JD-990 and a V-Synth XT… er… something is missing… oh, a little MemoryMoog and a Voyager.

This is awesome! 🤣

I mean, if they think it’s that pointless, why not letting someone have a fun cup of coffee while spending 15 minutes with it and spread some internal jokes there? Lore is precious, it makes the world believable and layered, and it sure as hell creates a lot of fun for fans, too.

Yuck. Crap job, that. Why would they use AI for a task that simple - I mean, if that’s there, you can only imagine the rest, such a shoddy shed job. Effing bunch of lazy slackers.

Actually, thanks for the PTSD 🤣🤣🤣 Now I remembered that. Yea, it’s a little worse.

Guess what would be cool? If Disney+ app for Apple TV would keep the language settings for at least 24 hrs.

But no. We’ll fly to Mars soon and people can have new hearts and livers and one piece of scheiße software demands me to select something else each day.

Ok, 1st world problem.

Tomorrow. #aircon25 date: 11th June 2025, time: 14-15 EEST / 11 UTC

(And here’s to hoping I got that time right. You know, you’re lacking something when you’re good at something…)

Todellakin. Kolmen Kaverin Jäätelö = aivan helposti parasta maan päällä.

Well. They obviously screwed up with automation ”insert bypass” parameter. No more bypassing your inserts. (That is, unless I’m so stupid I cannot find the item where it used to be)

Checked: yep, they really have been that stupid. Sticking to 11.1.2 - do NOT update to 11.2.

Hey. Any #Apple #LogicPro users? Is it really they managed to introduce a new bug, which hides an insert/effect/instrument/whatnot BYPASS parameter in the automation lane? It's nowhere to be seen and using Touch mode (and clicking effect on/off) creates automation for "64 unknown" - but mute works.

Great picture! 🤩

Checked the lawn. The bird really likes digging holes. 😄 I couldn’t care less, animals are cool.
