I hadn’t thought of doing it like that. (I have a different Tascam recorder.)
I love the Befaco instrument interface module.

It's a lot of fun and can generate very unpredictable, non-repeating patterns. I think I got interested in it after playing with similar sequencers in MiRack.

Not sure I've listened to that one, but I am a fan of those musicians for sure.

Tremendously glad W&B is back!
Very much enjoying watching it on YouTube and seeing the artworks being discussed.
Thank you.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

WaldmΓΌller was an incredible observer and painter of trees. Definitely of the paint-every-leaf school.

I enjoyed that show. I liked how his green card wife always called him β€œCheeps” along with Louie Anderson’s wonderful performance.
