I've added a bit more information on my MS-10 page:

notebook.zoeblade.com/MS-10.html
The MS-10 was a semi-modular synthesiser made by Korg in the late 1970s to early 1980s. It's appropriately named, being more or less half an MS-20. Specifically, it has just the one oscillator, one filter (the lowpass one, naturally), one amplifier, and one envelope generator. It's also missing the MS-20's trigger (gate) switch, sample & hold (track & hold), and external signal processor. Curiously, it gains pulsewidth modulation — perhaps it wouldn't fit on the MS-20's already full user interface. In spite of all the cutbacks, it sounds pretty good in its own right — it still has that gnarly filter, after all — and many artists have made great use of it.

I've added some more details to my Juno series of articles, as I once again wonder what I'm doing with my life. 😅

notebook.zoeblade.com/Juno-60.html
The Juno-60 arrived a mere year after the Juno-6. It added 1 KB of memory with battery backup, which could store up to 56 of your programs (over the top of its 56 presets), and DCB control. DCB would later evolve into the far more popular MIDI, which the subsequent Juno-106 was equipped with. While DCB only controls turning notes on and off, changing the program, and a CC equivalent for the VCF and VCA, you can at least use an appropriate MIDI to DCB converter such as Roland's own MD-8 to control an unmodified Juno-60 over MIDI. In contrast, the Juno-6 can only be controlled by the more fleshy kind of digits. The other changes are pretty minimal. The VCA gets a bipolar volume slider. On the other hand, the Juno-6's continuously variable highpass filter has been reduced to a mere four steps, even though it still uses a slider rather than a switch. This somewhat brings it inline with the System-100M's highpass filters. Apparently the poor CPU just couldn't cope with the full range of yet another slider, and this is the one that would be least missed. If it weren't for the large, friendly logotypes, you'd be hard pressed to tell the first two Junos apart. The Juno-6 even has a conspicuously empty space on its right-hand side, where the Juno-60's memory-related interfacing lives, suggesting that perhaps it was intended to be a Juno-60 all along.

1 March 1932 | German Jew, Hans Fred Aron, was born in Essen.

In January 1942 he was deported to the ghetto in Riga and in November 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz. He was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

Die U.S.-Regierung hat angekündigt alle Organisationen zu veröffentlichen, die im In- und Ausland Geld von ihnen bekommen haben. Das bedeutet für Organisationen in Russland z.B. nun die Gefahr verhaftet zu werden. Sie stellen also nicht nur die Unterstützung ein, sie unterstützen nun Staatsterror.

Brexit was pushed through by lies. The Sun lied about benefits tourism. Later, it printed this pathetically small apology.

The government should force all news media to print apologies for falsehoods in a form that makes them as visible to the public as the original lie.

4 February 1917 | A Polish Jewish dancer Franciszka Mann was born. She was most probably the woman who on 23 October 1943, inside the undressing room of gas chamber II at Auschwitz II-Birkenau, seized SS man Josef Schillinger’s pistol, shot him & wounded SS man Wilhelm Emmerich.

When Laura K insists rejoining the EU wouldn't bring growth for the UK as EU countries on average don't grow much atm, it is (deliberately?) misleading.

The UK's economy can of course grow if trade with EU countries increases, no matter how well they are doing for themselves.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
