One of my favorite rack mount synths is the Roland MKS-70. A 12-voice DCO polysynth made in 1986-1989 that is update-able with Frederic Vecoven’s mods. It’s basically the same as a Roland JX-10 Super JX which has been been used on countless soundtracks including Twin Peaks. Lately, I’ve been obsessively trying to figure out how… Continue reading joys of control(s)

bleak & challenging Futures
i’m so thankful there are knowledgeable, critical folks out there like Mat Dryhurst.these are excerpts from his talk linked above.

I hear about things, look at the specs, sometimes read the manuals, and look at what else is out there that does similar things or maybe look at possible DIY opportunities to save money. All that said, I have a built-in censor for this… Continue reading gear: dreams of the non-virtual poly
current music of interest
This list contains much of the music I’ve been listening to for past few months. I’ve never been very good at keeping a record of this, but I’m curious at how my musical decisions are informed by what I’m listening to.
