Electron's Over Bridge is finally out and it's just amazing. Only for the A4/Keys at the moment, RYTM owners have to wait.

42" 4K LG smart tv. Just found there's a free National Film Boards of Canada app on there too. Streaming loads of NFB short films! :-)

Most of the patches on my newly acquired Poly-800 II are beyond fucked. I have been going through and have been writing my own, but I would love to have the original cheesball factory patches too. Does anyone have a WAV File of the cassette?

The first set called 'Preload' seem to be the factory patches. Hope that helps.

I doubt anyone is into this band. But Unsane is my favorite noise rock band. And I just bought their last album Wreck on Vinyl. Yum.

Operating system EPROMs for my sampler; these ones in particular are home-made reproductions by some guy in Germany. Funnily enough, even though these had to be shipped from Germany to the US, they still ended up being almost 50% cheaper than the officially produced ones being sold from within the US.

Jesus. Can't imagine producing those at home. He must have a laminar flowhood or something, I imagine you can't do it with dust around.

I think he just buys the EPROMs blank from a manufacturer in bulk and flashes the OS data onto them himself; otherwise I imagine they'd be astronomically expensive :shock:

I preordered a new collection of strange and underrated stories in English literature, curated by David Tibet (and also signed by him). I'm very excited, though it won't ship until mid-November. I think it also includes Coptic texts translated by him.

Also, I preordered the new double-reissue of Thomas Ligotti's Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe by Penguin Classics. It isn't as fancy as the above book, but it has some very, very weird things in it, as Ligotti always does.

A perfect-fitting Paul Smith suit (either brand new of worn once - the pockets still have their stitches), a vintage (mid-60s) 35mm rangefinder camera & Neil Young's autobiography - all for under £80.

The charity shops near me are *amazing*.

Wood or nylon tip? What brand and size? I use Vic Firth 8DN with nylon tip.


I am seriously considering selling off some keyboards to get into Euro cRack. Mutable Instruments, Intelligel and Make Noise be damned!! :twisted:
