Suncrest Echoes | Dual Elektron Monomachine IDM with the new aftermarket +Drives from MachineStore @MIDERA

Last night we decided to get a Corn Snake. I used to have a beautiful California King Snake that I sadly parted ways with back in 2014. I deeply regret that. My daughter was begging to have a pet that was 'hers' and after thinking through the options (my favorite being a rat, but I'm allergic to them now), we went with a snake. My daughter kept going back to one that had a 'small tail', making it B grade. It's likely it was incubated too hot and now has a defect. But it was cute that she continued to choose that one over all the others. I think deep down she figured I'd be most likely to accept the 'cheapest one' but she maintains it was because she felt bad for it because no one seemed to want her. She named the snake Mocha because "you both like Mochas" (referring to me and my wife). Currently, the snake has been staring at me for the last 30 minutes.

I also wanted to plug the new +Drives for the Elektron Monomachines and Marchinedrums. If you have these instruments, definitely consider the upgrades if you don't have them. I purchased TWO of them. Installation was incredibly simple too. Here's a set of links to check out. Ask questions too!

$Ever present | A Kawai SX-240 and Rhodes Piano Improvisation Recently Ive got a few rude comments on my page, misconstruing events Id spoken about in the past... not just trolls (although, yes, they are those, but they dont bother me as much as people making up and changing what Id said). Now Im starting to think that sharing my life is a bad idea. Anyway - about this track, Id actually written it and had enjoyed everything Id done, except, when I went to look at the recording, it had stopped after 10 minutes! My computer went to sleep!!! Whoops. I had to make a new track, and here it is. Fractal Audio FM3 for reverb and delay #sx240 #fractalaudiofm3 #rhodespiano$ $Roland Juno 60 | Ambient soundscape with Fractal Audio FM3 I decided to help a friend and replaced all of his Roland Juno 60 sliders. I figured I’d done a lot of similar work for myself, and I’ve had a lot of people help me out so I wanted to pass it forward. Well, after spending 3 hours replacing the sliders, it was 12:30AM and I turned on the unit to test it out. But it went horribly wrong. Nothing sounded right. Noise was always present, the Attack slider didn’t work, Sub was always on, you get the picture. By this point, I was totally stressed out. I had destroyed a $3000 synth! I tried going to sleep, but it was around 3AM before I could. I woke up the next day, stressed. I ran downstairs to see if it was just something simple I missed, but nothing seemed wrong. All the pins had continuity to the traces they were going towards. By 5PM that day, I finally wrote on a facebook group. Someone mentioned something regarding the new sliders from Syntaur. He said they’re chassis legs are too short. Specifically, the Attack slider chassis provides ground to IC5, pin 8. But when I checked, there was continuity from the pad to IC5 pin 8. HOWEVER, the pad was NOT connected to the chassis. I quickly threw the old slider in, and magically… it all worked. I couldn’t believe it. That was about 24 hours of terror as I tried to figure out what went wrong. However, it is now going strong, perfectly. I’m very thankful to that facebook group!
