The pedal pictured above is a Pete Cornish TES Delay pedal. If you're not a guitar player of the decidedly Classic school of rock, that series of words and accompanying picture are probably essentially meaningless. So…
The easy way is to make something I buy and like. That's worked for several companies. The second most easy way is to be a tard. Allow me to submit Exhibit A to the jury: Chris - I recently reached out to you about…
Since every other music blog on the planet is reprinting Sonic Charge's press materials without even trying the synth (except Peter) I'll leave the free press to others and just do what I do well: bloviate. I assume…
I had to spend all day doing various non-music-related things. This unfortunately entailed me getting up at 4:45 in the blessed A.M., so now that I'm done I'm in no shape to post anything interesting. (I got in to the…
Okay, I went through that entire thread and made notes and counted votes and what-not. Thanks everyone for taking the time to illustrate what your opinions are in this matter. It seems to me that the whole thing…
Over yonder (how is distance measured on the Intergoogles?) on KvR, Shamann started what has turned in to a semi-interesting thread on the base nature of plug-in design. To save you the trouble of reading all eight…
Mr. Hefti passed away in his California home at the ripe old age (for a musician, anyhow) of 85, of natural causes. We should all be so lucky, I would think. Anyhow, if I know you, and I'd like to think I do, you're…
Compared to some people, I don't really have that much gear. I have, at points in my life, had as many as 18 keyboards (with keys, never mind rack mount units) and twenty-odd guitars. Now I'm down to seven guitars, a…
Just a little update about this. We're well in to the from-scratch rewrite at this point. Adam has been working on the new controls we'll need, and I'm working on the UI itself. This is entirely new code; nothing from…
Bounte's new EP, Maximal, is now available for purchase in shopPOSI. This EP features what is almost certainly the first commercial Grindhouse track, and is thus a historical artifact worth owning. Go grab one. He has…
As you no doubt know if you've been reading this site for more than, say, a week or so, you'll no doubt know that I do get a kick out of putting our more flamboyant requests for NFRs up here. This is one of the better…
Here's something you don't see every day. Indaba is running a contest whereby you make a counterpoint melody for a Yo-Yo Ma performance of Dona Nobis Pacem. Contest details here. This is quite a departure from the…
As the U.S. economy comically tail-spins in to the ground (and in the process teaching you zany Europeans that why, yes, we do actually still have a fairly powerful effect on your way of life) it logically begs the…
Well, my day at AES is now over. I'll state for the record that I don't have the foot skills necessary to stand around and talk to people all day. My dogs are barkin' right about now. That aside, I could easily make…
Okay, the Nitro and I are heading to San Francisco tomorrow for AES. Assuming there are no snowstorms, I'll be driving all day tomorrow, so no posting. I'll post some thoughts and pictures from AES when I get back to my…
