It's a sine of the times.

Wabbit, your puns are somehow lacking in resonance for me.....

[Logarhythm]

These puns could become a saw point.

[Folderol]

Feeling punished?

You're so square.

Ramping it up again IC

[Dave B]

Yeah - loads of time Fol. Don't worry too much...

Today, I've been digging through a couple of potential synths to see which I want to use. Found some lovely sounds. Not sure if either is right but I'll start having a fiddle and see.

[Wonks]

I'll start having a fiddle and see.

And see? It's supposed to make you go blind!

[Rich Hanson]

Well, I've finished something but unfortunately it's twee and sh1t. Back to the drawing board again.

[Dave B]

Ooh I don't do anything like this early. I always start a track, fiddle for a bit, leave it, come back, change synth, fiddle a bit more, suddenly realise that the deadline is in 48 hours, panic and quickly rattle off some old tat in desperation.

Still, good to know how the sensible people work!

[Rich Hanson]

I hope you're not calling me sensible. Have at you, ye blackguard!

[Folderol]

I have an idea (at last), it's a bit thin and weedy at the moment and I'm finding trying the old [CENSORED] synth extremely obstructive

As for 'sensible', everyone knows that the sensible people aren't on here, they are out in the world doing IMPORTANT things

[Jumpeyspyder]

eek! countdown is ticking, and I still haven't chosen a track or which synth

[ManFromGlass]

Why don't these old synths have any good loops in them?
I have to actually work at crafting a composition? How quaint!

[Folderol]

Well, I've given up on the QS300. It's got some nice built-ins but they're really obvious. Also the backlight's dead so the only way I can work out what's going on it to shine a strong light on the display· As for fixing it, have you seen just how many tiny screws are used just to hold the case together

I do have another couple of hardware options, and if that fails then several software ones.

[Dave B]

I _think_ I've decided. In my head, I'm mapping out how to build the track. Hopefully, I'll get some spare time soon and actually do it.

Or maybe I'll get to the second week of September, panic and pull an all nighter...

[Richie Royale]

Just reminding myself the deadline is the 16th of Sep. Cos I aint started yet.

[arkieboy]

This is open to anyone - really anyone ... hell, last time, we even had a guitarist!!

Isn't that a bit instrumentalist?

[Folderol]

OK, all tracks pretty much in place, but another hardware synth rejected - Sound Canvas. No editable voices, and although there is quite a range, none will really do. However, for future reference I must remember it has some quite nice percussion sounds, especially considering it's age.

One more hardware synth to try, and if that fails, it's on to software ones and sample players.

[ManFromGlass]

Ahh Sound Canvas. The memories! Next you'll be trying the TX81z
