I'm working on several interesting things right now that would be excellent fodder for conversation here. Unfortunately, I can't talk about any of them. At all. So that leaves us with yet another Disembodied Hands video.

The fine folks at Elektron put out a new OS for the Analog Four yesterday, and after lunch today I installed it, and discovered that it gave the A4 channel mutes in performance mode like those on the MonoMachine and MachineDrum (and, I assume, OctaTrack.) I was just dicking around and testing this out against a Maschine patch I'd made earlier in the week, and figured that it'd be fun to throw up on YouTube.

Anyhow, as I said, lots going on 'round here, but nothing I can blabber about just yet. How's your day going?

I like how Live is just acting as an FX rack. How are you finding the touch interface?

Sounds great.

Why no love for the Octatrack?

**Chris Randall** (2013-02-17):

@atlastop: It doesn't appeal to me at all. It's primarily a live performance sampler, and as I don't do any live performance, I don't have any use for it.

@WhatisValis: Live is not built with touch controllers in mind. It isn't very happy with touch; it isn't multi-touch aware at all, and many of the controls (specifically faders, and much of the M4L control complement) are difficult to use with touch. But for this sort of thing, or triggering clips or whatever, it's fine. I have to jack the size of the interface way up. (140% in the above video.) As a result, it makes that monitor, which is 23", look much smaller than it is.

My yard can kiss my ass. That is all I can say about today, unfortunately.

**inteliko** (2013-02-18):

Great tune. Loving the set up.

**dj empirical** (2013-02-18):

very very cool.

My day is going fine, thanks! Honoring presidents and whatnot...

Did come across this, though... thought it should be dropped off here:

@brsclts: Bad Idea jeans.

**brsclts** (2013-02-18):

OK, apologies... bad form on my part. It gave me a chuckle, though... the guy's audacity. In that strange way, I almost have to appreciate it. Almost.

That is just...something. What the...I'm just not understanding the amount of work that went into that and what the intended result was.

the entirety of that linked-to site is the poster child for hipster inanity run amok.

to modify a catchphrase from a once-popular television show in the US, "let bullshit be bullshit".

to get away from the last topic, this vid floated into my inbox today. some fun with a MaKey MaKey and vegetables:
