The chaos into which we are all descending makes me want to quit life and play videogames.

This month's OSC plugin is Synthmaster One - it seemed very flexible at first, but I'd say I'm going to have to try a few things first before I settle on something to make.

Okay...let's get equipped and wired up and jamming.

Okay well, I've been thinking of some audience growing pieces for fun. The K1V plugin is so nostalgic in feeling that I might use it to cover or compose original stuff in the vain of SNES to PS1 era games.

I did so good today...why do I feel so damned sad?
I got my new piece of furniture and set it up. I still need to reorganize and clean, but...isn't this better?

Would appreciate some knowledge/information about obtaining new wavetable data for my Sonicware ELZ_1 play. #synthesizers
Willing to post my CyDrums patches if I get some.

I've been trying to cram as much as I can into the new OHYAD version's initial release. Unfortunately, some of this week is going to be spent walling off parts that don't work yet.
I definitely need a break.

Very excited to hook this TR-8S up, move the 6S work to it, and get to some real work.
Yeah, I'm in the red, but I hope that doesn't last long. #drummachine #roland #tr8s

I've changed all of my game pages on Itch to have Community sections instead of comment sections. Probably best for how people usually use comments.
Today I've also started remaking/polishing Dungeon of Power's soundtrack - aiming for a small update in the near future.

If you were to ask me what my plan is after November 1st, it's the same as it was after my place burned down and I was homeless for 18 months.
Nothing. I have no plan. There is no plan that I could have that makes up for this mountain of bullshit.

#sonicware #ELZ1play v2 reactions:
+ Wavetable Synth model! Nice!
+ Layers.
+ New effects!
+ Play mode looks nice.
= No new parameter access.
= Didn't add pattern chaining
= Does the free Waldorf plugin export to this? Help?
- STKDrummer kits still can't be made natively. Boo!

I put up this month's development report on Patreon but for some reason marking things as early access for paid members is now harder, not easier.
Thanks...and apologies to fans. I'm working on a vid, though. You'll see what all three games look like right now.

Another late night of messing with hardware. Tried again to tweak CyDrums presets into a Taiko kit.
It's possible that the models here are too electronic in nature to do it. I might be barking up the wrong tree.
Now it's 2AM and I'm swiping dating profiles.
