Something a bit different - at least I’ve not seen this - I’m using a the sequencer from the Behringer Edge to drive the Crave!
As well as changing the pitch, the velocity row is changing the filter cutoff.I’m usin

Hard to argue against.
The internet is now five websites owned by three people and all of them are awful

One of my experiences with computers involved punch-cards. Yes, I'm that old!

First they came for the LGBTIQ+ people and I went 'wait - that's me!'.
To be clear, they're not rounding up queer people into ovens - but they're silencing their voices and that's pretty fucked up.
I’ll be setting up shop here pretty soon. I will delete all of my meta apps. This is unacceptable. Meta has already said they will abandon all fact checking and moderation. This is not okay.

Unbelievably fucking cruel.
A federal court has ruled that Florida can detransition inmates.

Some trans inmates are having estrogen pulled, hair shorn, and put through state-run conversion therapy.

This is the cruelty of abandoning incarcerated trans people.

Federal Court Rules In Favor of Forcibly Detransitioning Transgender Inmates In Florida
Incarcerated transgender people were a major topic of debate in the 2024 elections. Now, a judge ruling on a Florida policy shows how cruel abandoning trans people in prison can be.

In this little video, I'm using the ASM Hydrasynth to control the Edge.
For those that don't know, the Edge is the Moog DFAM 'tribute'. I've not seen anyone control it using CV like this.
I'm sure someone with more talent than me would do some great things.

I watched this a while ago and it's defiantly worth checking out.
Red Means Recording released this video a year ago, but as a trans synth artist, I find that few people know just how impactful trans people have been on the history of synthesizers, and with it, the entire landscape of electronic music

My new plan for donations - give money to everything Musk opposes. Probably not perfect but it feels good so far.

I get nostalgic around this time of year, often watching movies from my childhood.

I watched this recently and it takes me back while being still feeling current.

My Government wants to store nuclear waste up the road from me.
Interesting how this comes out days after our local by election.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

'It's madness': Residents just learned nuclear waste from AUKUS subs would be stored locally
The $368 billion AUKUS pact is promising to return submarine construction to Australia. But residents have just learned the deal also means nuclear waste will be stored on their doorstep.

I handed out how-to-vote caress in our local by election yesterday. At the close of counting last night my party’s vote share was up about 4% and the Labor (the lefter of the two parties had one).
Not a bad day.
