I've been deeply involved with my new Korg ER-1 drum machine. I bought a Behringer Xenyx 1202FX mixer to plug all my toys together and I've been having a great time learning how to program the Korg ER-1. Without a sequencer, it's difficult to put together an actual song, but ...

The Korg EA-1 arrived first today. Overall the cosmetic condition was good, but a few of the pots were glitchy and the selection jog wheel skipped around. That's no good. One of the glitchy pots was the main volume knob. It would cut out one of the voices intermittently. Also ...

Tomorrow my ER-1 and EA-1 synthesizers arrive. I would have had them today but, it's MLK's Birthday so no deliveries. It's not been so bad waiting as I had my Casio CZ-101 to play with.

These last couple days, I've been talking (both via email and voice) with my best friend Andy. He lives in LA. For those that don't know, we've known each other since 3rd grade and got in to all sorts of hyjinks through out junior and senior high school. We also ...

I've been neglecting the blog lately. Posting isn't hard, but getting together coherent ideas that are at least interesting to me -- if not interesting to you folks -- is hard. Everyday, as boredom sets in at work, I come up with all sorts of ideas and projects. I generally ...
