-New audio interface

-New PC

-Transformer saturation processor

-Fix my Viscount OB-12

-Build a full GM5, with additional MIDI merge inputs

-Buy a 'virtual orchestra' type soft synth I'm happy with

-Think about a MonoWave(X) and some MB controllers for 2010

-Spend time actually playing/writing music (I want to really finish at least one track)

Work

-Starting an R&D dev team with a couple of mates

-C++ programming/embedded systems development

-Perhaps revisit some of the engineering topics I brushed over in uni

-Try to earn enough money to actually pay for my mortgage

Other hobbies

-Develop my automobile mechanics (I do a little more each year)

In no particular order ...

DIY/techy Stuff:

Complete all my partly done MIDIbox projects: 2 sequencers, MB-CV, MB-FM, simple stereo 6581 MB-SID.

Build a second x0xb0x.

Put shorter ribbon flex cables in my MB-6582 so I can put the damn case together!

Finish mods to the first Korg DW-6000, and steal the filter board from the second DW-6000 and get it working with MB-SID.

Complete repairs to CS40M.

Music stuff:

Finish my tech-house-ish album that has been several years in the works.  Convert my live set to be less laptop-based and more based on standalone, tweakable tone generators and sequencers.

Life stuff:

Seriously re-evaluate my lame-ass daytime career.  Make my wife happier.

Really nerdy stuff:

Lay foundation to a MIDIbox builders/users convention.

I forgot...

  • put a Puma hub motor in my mountain bike and crank it up with an 84V LiPO battery pack.

I just finished putting the hub into a wheel and making an additional torque arm out of a chunk of steel (absolute requirement because otherwise the motor would tear itself out of the rear dropouts). The Puma is a geared brushless hub motor and is insanely fast.  Here's some video I shot of my friend in his electric powered KMX Kart.
