my ibook is on its last legs and i’m currently updating from my girlfriend’s laptop. what would make life easier? a new mac. i have my eye on a new mac book pro but it means selling off a lot of gear. gutted.

after an incredibly long-drawn-out process the korg ms-20 is home. jim at singingcatservices did a fantastic job of restoring the synth to its former glory. word of warning, avoid the “hammond hire company”. enough said. well, maybe there’ll be a future diatribe. watch this space.
sorry for the “playing”. i was just messing around with sounds. check from 9:36 onwards. sounds really nice to my ears.

i really love the DMC channel on the NES. i found modulating various parameters with LFOs can provide interesting results here too. this is not something that i’ve heard in .nsf tunes. so maybe this is one of the few instances where you have more control of the 2a03 than you would by using a purpose-built tracker.

for a long time i felt pretty uninspired by the results of controlling midiNES with logic audio. it became pretty clear that the amount of automation required to create the desired result would be pretty laborious for what would be incredibly simple to do in a tracker.
that said, my setup revolves around sequencing and controlling various bits and bobs via midi or osc and overdubbing guitar and vocal parts on top. so using midiNES is a convenient way of integrating the 2a03 into my setup.
i’m currently learning renoise and discovered that its meta devices would be ideal for modulating parameters in midiNES. in this little snippet i’ve focused on using LFOs to control volume, duty cycle and pitch of the channels of the NES.
i’ve also uploaded the .xrns source file if you’re interested in doing this yourself. hopefully i’ll post some more in the next few weeks — please forgive the sloppy tracking!

i finally installed my sid2sid board in my c64c. this means that the two sid chips inside my c64 can produce up to six channels of goodness. happy days.

this is about as finished as the track is going to get. i think i’ll leave it rest as a work in progress so i can start on my ever growing to-do list.
to do: learn processing, build midi-cc lfo in pure data, build sid2sid, build arduinoboy, make my blog look nicer…
