Starting work with a double cappuccino & cinnamon. It’s now straight work with no days off until June!

My experiment for a rainy Saturday… Pull the solar panels from some garden lights, wire them in series and use it as a CV source on the modular synths. It’s like a theremin but controlled by light. #synthsky #modularsynth #solarpanel

Ok so #ChatGPT asked me if I would like a cartoon character made from a picture of Kacie. I said yes but I want her operating a large format recording console wearing headphones and this is what I got. #caturday #cats #recordingstudio #OpenAI

Playing around with a Sequential Circuits Pro One. It has cool little sequencer built into it which only records pitch not rhythm. Adding the Yamaha DX7 run through a digital delay for a doubling effect. #80s #80smusic #BronskiBeat #smaltownboy #synthsky #vintagesynth #sequentialcircuits #yamahadx7

Tron: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
One of my favorite soundtracks from 1982. An amazing combination of synthesizers and orchestra! #80’s #wendycarlos #tron #soundtrack #moog #Crumar #LondonPhilharmonic #modularsynth

It’s #caturday in the studio with Kacie the #studiocat helping mix and reading up on how to align a MCI JH-24 tape machine. #cats #recordingstudio #catsky #catsofbluesky #avid #avidprotools #catsofbsky #analogrecording

Caught a leaking battery just in time on my “Real World M48 Digital Midi Matrix”. 16 midi in 48 midi out. #midi #Sycologic #midipatchbay #synthsky The studio uses two of these to route most of the synths.

Just finished setting up a Raspberry Pi zero W to work as Commodore 1541 drive emulator so I can store & load sounds/sequences in my Emu SP12! #commodore1541 #emusp12 #vintagedrummachine #synthsky #raspberrypi #emusystems It’s also just as slow as the 1541 ever was. 🐌

Ok, I discovered synthesizers in 1977 and I never knew this album existed until today! #electronicmusic #moog #thebeatles #georgeharrison #experimentalmusic #modularsynth

Making Syncro/Midi cables today. Using all five pins allows the cable to be used for Din-Sync or MIDI. Din-Sync was used a lot in old Roland drum machines and sequencers #midi #synthsky #roland #vintagesynth #vintagedrummachine

Ok just finishing up day two SCE’s power shut off in my area so the studio is still shut down. So here’s a piece of equipment that doesn’t need power to work… my 1976 Rogers drum kit in Metallic Gold. (I know, it looks orange)

Here’s a fun fact… If you’ve ever used Native Instruments Retro Machines MK2, you’ve used some of the actual synths in this studio! The raw waves used to create the Chroma, Four Voice, Matrix, Poly 6, Pro 1, Quadra & Super JP banks were all recorded here. #nativeinstruments
