If you can't handle me at my LSB, then you don't deserve me at my MSB

My favourite part of every Roland manual is when it makes a quick aside to teach you about TV antennas for some reason. Absolutely inexplicable. I love it.

I've been putting together a reabank file for the SC-88 Pro. Just published v0.1.0 (and there's also a blog post on the website if you choose to read some rambling).
Screenshot of the Bank/Program Select section of the REAPER plugin ReaControlMIDI, with the file "sc-88-pro.reabank" loaded, bank "Variation 008 (SC-55 Map)" selected, and the program "Church Bell" selected.

*reading midi instrument tables* THAT'S RIGHT!! NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A [[128 005 Big Shot]]!!
Scan of an SC-88 Pro manual's instrument table, showing, among other things, instrument 128 variation 005 Big Shot.

All right, stranger. What's the deal? This is Ebonheart. Are you looking for someone in particular?

Sometimes I wish I didn't have a real job but then I wouldn't be able to afford all these 90s synthesizers :(

In other news I've been having a particularly busy week but I've been making steady progress rebuilding various parts of my production workflow so I should be back to making MIDIs sooner or later

Here's another midi I wrote a couple years ago for a game, rendered on the SC-88 Pro! "invasion", an action piece. Quite fond of the time signature changes in this one.

Now have a working SC-88 Pro: here's one of my original MIDIs, "petra", which I originally wrote using SoundCanvas VA, playing on it.

Anyways while I'm here, here's a quick video upload of my favourite single MIDI release I've made (not including my full OSTs of course)

Melee Machine, fighting game music rendered on Roland SC-88 Pro simulated via Roland SoundCanvas VA.

I've also put up a blog post explaining the process of making these videos:

It's not that interesting since they're obvs just static images, but you might have a laugh at my herculean struggle against YouTube compression

Just put my small back-catalogue of single releases of free game music on YouTube!

Just cleaning up shop a bit before I get back to making new music.

We used to be a country
The newly renamed “TGJones” replacing a former WHSmith on the high street, but with just the worst possible branding you can imagine.

POV: You tried to upload a video with a gradient in it to YouTube
Screenshot of part of a grey-to-dark-grey radial gradient. The gradient looks blocky and has banding because it has been ruined by compression artifacts.

It's 23.2 MiB for 4:17 of 4K video not bad. I could probably get it smaller with some ffmpeg magic but this'll do for speeding up uploading videos of static images to YouTube

Doing some absolutely cursed video encoding here.
A screenshot of a video with VLC Media Player's "Current Media Information" window open on the "Codec" tab. A variety of encoding information for a high quality 4K MP4 video is shown, but most notably the cursor has highlighting the statistics "Frame Rate: 1".

Graphic design is my passion (actually could be worse)
A graphic in 4k resolution showing SpeedyVelcro's avatar to the left, and some text on the right. The text reads "[Insert Track Title Here]" in bold on line 1, followed by a horizontal dividing line, followed by "[Insert summary of track here]" in italics on line 2, followed by "By SpeedyVelcro (speedyvelcro.com)" on line 3, followed by "Licensed under CC BY 4.0." on line 4. The background is dark grey with a black vignette.

Added some floating and glowing to nav links; looking very pretty now.
Screenshot of a portion of the navbar of SpeedyVelcro's personal website. SpeedyVelcro's avatar is in the top left, and next to it is the word "SpeedyVelcro" in bold text. Below "SpeedyVelcro" are the words "Code and Music Emporium" in cursive script. The "Home", "Games", "Music", and "Blog" links are visible in the screenshot. The mouse cursor is seen hovering over the "Games" link, which is slightly offset upwards vertically, and has a yellow glow around it. A single thin white line underlines all the links.
