Was playing with Moog Model D on the iPad last night and made use of one of the samples I saved.

Don’t know what I did, but adding a few modules and updating to the latest version of VCV Rack has left all the knobs useless, as in they go all the way down or all up. No control. 🙃 I’ll try reinstalling it before unplugging the cable and plugging it back in. Anyone else encounter this bug?

A cheap amp (this is a Goodwill find, $20) that has a bunch of amp models pairs fairly well with the 303 clone. Just bump up the gain on the amp type you like. Now I need to memorize how to program the 303 😅

Kicking off the halfway to Halloween season with another rewatch of The Guest.

This analog horror game seems like it would be massive amounts of fun to play. I have to get it sometime, even if (like most ttrpgs) I end up just reading it. Also how much fun would it be to create a fitting, eerie soundtrack for this game? www.gauntlet-rpg.com/public-acces...

It's the end of the month again, which means rent is due, which, because of the economy and times we're in, means many are facing eviction- many on this very site. If you are blessed enough to have the means, consider running a search for RENT HELP and helping a stranger keep a roof over their head.

It's alarming that most traffic coming to my websites is made of automated shitbots shelling SEO work. 99% of my contact form submissions are ai-driven SEO offerings. I don't update my site or socials enough for data hungry algos, but I don't need your greasy bot's help writing. #stoptheslop

Pepperidge Farm remembers my desk and studio being this clean… I may have become a pile of cables and lost dreams this past month. It’s 50/50.

Happy THE FOG Day everyone! Last year, I celebrated its 45th anniversary & thought I’d share my piece again today on this, the 21st of April. from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/45-years-lat... I’d appreciate any shares and/or subs - thanks so much!

Bloodborne appreciation post. That is all.

Spent time yesterday making presets for Arturia Pigments with the goal of creating 1 note environment ambiences of the haunted/dreadful kind (horror and dungeon synth vibes). Most of these hit the goal. Two unexpectedly became beautiful, mystical soundscapes. I’ll share some sounds soon.

Haven’t seen it in forever but I kind of want to watch the original Castle Freak. Could use a dose of that amazing Crampton & Combs combo right now.

If anyone with an SDR and antenna wants something to do this weekend: I would really like to compile a database of IQ recordings from the No Kings protests that have a strong police presence. Generally in the 100Mhz - 1Ghz range, and more specifically frequencies used for P25.

This is my (really bad) first title screen. Eye of the Blood Witch is a ttrpg dungeon crawl pdf I've been working on here and there so I wanted to use it here. Just in case, you know? In case I keep working on it. The buttons should be cleaned up next, then audio added, then revising the menu, then

Sometimes the happy little accidents that happen when working with modular synths feels like tapping into a magical, cosmic source of cheat codes for ear nuggets.

Just enjoying my newly discovered fact that Moebius and Miyazaki were such great pals that Giraud named his daughter Nausicaa. I haven’t fact-checked this yet so don’t blame me if I was watching a garbage YouTube vid on Moebius’ life. Art has a way of bringing artists together in fantastic ways.

Happy 303 Day! Hoping to get some recording in with this later.

Does anyone have experience dealing with a Tascam Model 12 power issue? Having issues where the mixer doesn't turn on when I flip the switch, but sometimes starts up after flipping it on/off a few times. It's out of warranty by a month,c of course. Hoping it's a small repair.

You know what inspires? What keeps money away from the tech broligarchs? What flies in the face of LLM-generated slop? What neuters the streaming services? Bandcamp Friday’s in three days. 100% proceeds to artists. Pay money to great humans for their amazing music. Feed yr soul w/ the real deal

We are stuck inside today due to the storm. There is so much ice covering our area. The front door was stuck. Feeling thankful to still have power because a lot of this area is without it.

672 hours of Elden Ring Nightreign. I WILL make it to 1000. And one day I will become above below average at this game. 😅

Happy Yule! Hails to you and yours. Please enjoy this new compilation of winter synth that I got to be a part of. So many great artists are on here!

Just finished Shuna’s Journey by Hayao Miyazaki. Feeling hopeful, and also recharged in the creative department. It was beautiful, and the story, from 1983, timeless.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

It’s on sale. Oh no, Nightreign DLC is right around the corner but I never played the full DLC. Okay. I have to. I loved it the first time around.

Tomorrow, Tuesday Oct 28th at 6pm EDT, @thestateofsynth.com chats with one hell of an incredible talent. Anniee will be our guest! @nr.fm . Synths mostly come at night. Mostly. Tune in live and join the chat here: nightride.fm/chat?station... or here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYfx...

Bring Her Back hit a couple of the holes in my armor so hard that the armor’s useless. Gonna need a few days to come back from this one. It was excellent though! In a while I will revisit it.

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

Does anyone know what the monster "Kevin" is on the board in Cabin In The Woods? Bonus points for why no one bets on it.

Getting into Godot lately. Enjoying it immensely so far, even if it's been following tutorials. I used to love playing Stone Soup on plane trips so I think starting with a roguelike is a good option for me. Yes, talk me out of it please... OR drop some Godot-related links for me to check out.

It’s totally normal for me to buy tickets for The Cure in Ireland next year, just in case I get to go, right? Right?

I’m about to experience an incredible hot pepper season. Here’s three of the 12 plants I have going in the garden.

Today's one of those days where I wish it was worthwhile for game developers (mostly talking indies/solo devs here) to support Mac users. I fully understand that the number of mac vs pc users doesn't make sense for a dev to tear their hair out for a handful of us without a pc, but one can wish!

My wife decided to cheer me up this morning with coffee and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 in bed before we head to my first synth show in Richmond today. Coffee helped. I have a sudden urge to never eat chili again. I feel thankful that she knows and delivers on cheering me up with art of all kinds.

It's a Thursday and I'm overwhelmed with work so why not get a Nightreign run in to push my anxiety into great new heights?

Going to bark at the moon tonight.

That strat has enough modifications, but we can make more. Can’t have those blinding orange strings over a white pickguard. No. Need to add more black to this with a new pickguard, black pickup covers, and black accessories. Then maybe custom resin knobs in black and orange to match?

All I want to do is make music and play Elden Ring at the same time.

Checking out Daggerheart this week. So far I’m impressed with just how much info is in the book, and the cards are a great addition. Very neat package, and tons of great art.

Been quiet lately for a lot of reasons. One of them is keeping more of a balance between being online and totally closing the internet out. This is part my recent library haul. There was also a book on songwriting and a horror novel I picked up too. 📚

With the new Logic update adding in AI, I’m going to have to do research before continuing to use it. I have questions. • Do I have to label everything coming out of Logic AI?generated even when I won’t be using it? • Can I take AI out of my build completely? support.apple.com/en-asia/109503

Tonight at 6pm EST on @thestateofsynth.com, we have a marathon episode to celebrate Starcadian, including guests and submitted dedications. @nr.fm. It's freak night every night. Tune in live and join the chat here: nightride.fm/chat?station... or here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYfx...
