I’ve managed to offload almost all of my synthesizers via eBay. Only five remain of the original 20, and one of those will be leaving soon. The keepers: Ensoniq SQ-80, Yamaha TG-33, Yamaha TX81z, and Yamaha TG-77.
The last one to leave is going to be the Alesis Fusion 8HD. It’s very powerful, [...]

While the sample trigger/recorder was running I [...]

I’d like to be able to say how many hours I worked today, but I don’t really know. I think, with the exception of food and restroom breaks, it would be “all of them” (depending upon whether you count research and education as work).
I spent a lot of the day reading the Warrior Forum. [...]

Today I’ve launched three “Indie Challenge” sites:
