old drum machines
I have quite a lot of nostalgic feelings for old drum machines. The Boss DR550 was my initial experience. I borrowed it from a friend and spent hours creating patterns. Such a simple device compared to what exists these days. The first machine I properly owned was a Kawai r-50e, it had that awesome 80s orchestral hit. Next I had a Yamaha RY-30, which had to be the best drum machine ever created. I have fond memories of sitting for hours with it and headphones trying to recreate FLA, Front 242 and Skinny Puppy. One machine that I always wanted, but wasn’t able to afford was the Roland R8 MKII. I found this video which demonstrates how lost you can get in something so simple.

This is a pretty good demo for those of you looking to try your hand at manual beat chopping and other rhythmic shenanigans in Logic Pro:

In other news, I watched a bit of Eden Log at lunch. Although I haven’t finished it, its pretty cool from a visual perspective. Acting is dreadful unfortunately.

Max 5
i upgraded my Max/MSP 4.x license a few days ago. i have to say that i like the new version a lot, its much…friendlier…i guess. i never really got into Max, which is surprising since it cost quite a bit of money. however, the new Max for Live in Ableton has got me back into the idea of creating my own simple effects. So i am making my way through the tutorials, again, and hopefully i will have some skill when M4L comes out. Max is yet another diversion, but i figure anything to get me back into making music is a good thing.

sample rate nonsence
the next big dilemma in my life is what sample rate. i have been testing the quality and comparing that against the additional system overhead to see if it is worth it. not entirely sure i can tell the difference. there may be one, i may not be listening to the right material. i am strongly leaning the way of 32bit/44.1kHz, since there are less resources consumed and i don’t have to worry about sample rate conversion or dithering. unfortunatly, as in the previous post, this dilemma is another aviodant strategy. its always a bit of a shock to openly discuss, so as of right now the decision is made. moving on.
