Reading took the lead over Greensboro 1-0 after 1. Outshooting 17 to 8. Khazeyev in goal for Greensboro, not his fault, he's been fine for gargoyles so far. #echl #hockey #greensboro

Recalibrating this synth again.

The tuning is so bizarre. Oscillators drifting a few cents out of tune in mid range (still very usable), then +/-20 cents out of tune around C1 and C5.

Heard it was a problem with these reissues but more I read more it might just be a 2600 thing.

I was 9 years old and mailed Ken Dryden a long letter to a law firm in Toronto where he was articling. I shared how much I missed him playing with the Canadiens and the team wasn’t the same without him. I begged him to come back. A few days later, I received this reply from him.

One of the last pictures I took with my Fuji S3 Pro. Although 12MP, it was closer to 10MP effective resolution. It had great dynamic range at the time. From 2015, camera 2005

Kind of replicating the experience of a vintage #arp #2600 #modular #synth with a sequencer.

Using a mixer case to house the Story #behringer 2600 clone along with a series of 2500 clone modules, including a sequencer, a sequencer switcher, a mixer sequencer, a multimode resonant filter, a VCA etc

In fact, that's a good question. What are the sports related fediverse services and servers? Is there one for lemmy too?
We just posted about our new radio episode. We'll also have videos on occasion, on our YouTube channel. We need to set up shop on the fediverse too. What's your favorite non centralised video platform for sports?

So... the #Leafs traded Ryan Reaves to #SJS after acquiring Michael Pezzetta. You probably don't need two of these, but why the whole acquire Pez & trade thing to begin with? To annoy #habs fans?
