Went and saw “Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind” at
the Rialto yesterday. Pretty good. Enjoyed it.
Got a new toy yesterday. A Roland GR-20 guitar synth.
It’s fun. It tracks a lot better than I expected. The
built in sounds aren’t bad, but not very tweakable.
Running the midi out into the computer for softsynths
seems to work really well. Played with some
linux based softsynths (amSynth, zynaddsubfx) and
got some interesting results. Then fired up wine
and “vsti” to try running some windows VSTi’s.
Playing guitar and having the sound generated by
an emulated SID chip from a c64 is way more fun
than it should be.
