Thanks for the tip. I'll give that one a try. I used to be all into viritual stuff, but midibox opened my eyes :D. It's something about spending time in this enviorment - it gets to you :P

yes, me prefers hardware, too, but when it is unaffordable (ob-x) and an emulation is that good, listen without watching and try to tell which is the vst and which is the original :)

Hehe, I haven't got enough experience with oberheim to tell the difference in a blind test. But critic listening: There are minor differences that I hear - sometimes - but not in any way does the vsti sound bad. Worst case, only a little bit different, but that is a completely other thing than bad sounding.

Wow, didn't realize you could get touch in that size! That's why I use the 12" screen... It's got the wacom pressure sensitive pen and touch. (it's not dedicated to music.. just my general laptop) I think it's silly to purchase a computer w/out touch, these days.

nice one, it will be great for battlefield, too :)

awwwww, u just gave me withdrawls.. Battlefiled 1942 was the only game I ever really got in to!

Well, they proudly(?) sell Bose which is shit in expensive suits. Get a pair of KEF Muon for 1.600.000 NOK instead :D

oof. poor people...

Better make sure that FB, G+, LinkedIn, Pinterest and such don't eat all your time.

Nao friend count is under 200 :D. Now it won't take much of my time no longer :P

If some of u was victing of my FB unfriending knife, I didn't mean to, it was just because I didn't remember ur real name :).

I hate it when I accidentally cuddle a hot soldering iron. Cold ones are Ok.

indeed.

Nice Tool.

Grr! That's mean ;) Hope it wasn't us.

Nice.. I've been thinking I need the same thing! I don't have enough motivation to exercise on my own.

great progress :)

thanks :) My motivation is really skyhigh, but it's easy in weak moments to again start fooling myself, so that's why I chose to organize it that way. :).

hehehe

Here's a link for the listing. More available, from UK. I think this looks serious. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SSM2044-Voltage-Controlled-Four-Pole-Low-Pass-Filter-24dB-Octave-LPF-IC-/120791345713?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item1c1fb9aa31#ht_500wt_969

Btw, do not tell missus. :) She doesn't understand circuits :P

I uploaded a couple of pics for you to see ;). Not the biggest studio room, but it's all I can afford to reserve for my stuff for the time being :P

you have lotsa space for moar synths :) lucky you :)

hehe. Well, I have the two SID synths comming around, and possibly a FM too in the not so distant future. Then I probably need to buy another smallish keyboard controller too :P

What is GAS?

Gear/Guitar Acquisition Syndrome.

Now everything is clear.

Best.Computer.Upgrade.EVAR!!! Plus 8GB RAM, the new happy medium.

very cool! can recommend the purchase of a standalone sd audio recorder for gig recording, they are getting cheaper every day and are more reliable than crashy laptop sounddrivers :)

Yups! Get a dedicated audio recorder or a Nagra if you want to flash.

hehe, yes, computer interfaces has it's glitches and pops, no doubt about that! We might have to look into something like that later on. We have had a playing break for a long time while people build houses and raise babies :P. Now we're almost back, with a couple of new members. So it's still rusty - like in dirt brown colored rust! :P

no soldering in the summer, you did it right! :-) (let´s not talk about the weather, hehe)

I know the feeling. Some things are not immediately in front of you, thus they don't get done.

Powered directly from the USB port of my TV hehe.

Better that than the promised armageddon :)

Well, I guess it depends if you're on the right side or not :P hehe

Yeah. Hoth freeze over again. storm in 4 days.

Its nice and warm here... thinking of taking a bath in the lakes... Nah, just kidding :)

True grit! :D

Hidden treasure FTW. We get 1 SEK for small bottles and cans, or 2SEK for 1.5L and 2L bottles. It adds up...

yep, 1 NOK for cans here too :).

:) yeah, being 30 means nothing. just think of how long it took you to get from 20 to 30. and we all aim for being 100 and run the marathons we are used to, don't we? i plan to retire with 120 at the earliest :)

By the time I reach 120 I plan to start work again. I'm starting a new business then - heavenlySound :D

Hehe, my bro in law had his 50th birthday a couple of years ago. We made a song with the chorus being something like: Now you're 50 years, soon you'll be 60 years, in no time you're 70 years old. Then you'll be 80 years and then comes 90 years, and look how steady the stone stands... doesn't rhyme in english but u get the idea :P

Crunch! Nom nom nom

for your controller, methinks you could well start off with a MIDIO128 V3 and upgrade to MIDIbox NG when its ready - btw the SEQ also integrates fine into a DAW environment, not trying to convince you or something ;-)

Hehe hawk, no convincing needed. I definetly want to build a seq, but that will probably come next after that again, or at the same time hehe :).

I have been playing around a bit now today with my piano (I have a digital piano in my studio) and I love good old piano with analog pads on the synth. I found out that I need a midi expression pedal to adjust cutoff on the filter. So that is definetly gonna be part of the next controller.

yes, the old ones were so rusty, it was fun! The only problem was to get the brake cylinder back, as i could not bleed it (bleeder rusted, too), once again brute force (and some tools) helped :)

yep, and here's the secret - the bleeder aint there to help get the piston back either ;) - it is only there to bleed air out of the system in case u change pipes or in some other way have to disconnect pipes. The correct way to do is to use some tools and brute force :D hehe.

hehehe :-D

mah gurl also haz volume spray, ok that was a really bad one *wanders off* :-)

Grrls and Brazilian wax FTW! *Quietly takes off to commit seppuku* :p

Yeah! All the Old Korg Logos and stickers is sanded off the case. Now I'm gonna paint it, get some new sticker on it, and there's the brand new expression pedal :D
