Quiet week at home. Ended up designing for myself. Enjoyed the processes. Almost made me want to return. Layed out some ideas for web and returned to old application idea for playdate. Stayed up all night. Still love designing. Hate the industry. Building out concepts to see what is viable. Tested some visual techniques in photoshop for fun. AL is excited for Animal Crossing update. Downloaded and played. She visited her island for the first time in 4 years. W/ Switch out, I reopened Korg Gadget for the fist time since 2023. Tinkered with some ideas. Tried a synced commentary for the first time. Enjoyed the experience. A lot of pandemic activities resurrected this week. Heard some bad news and need to reach out to friend. Met some new people at a bar pop up while meeting old friends. Last days of the pop and bar as is. Talked about books, movies, old jobs, bad bosses, politics, life's infinite stories. Going home on Sunday for death anniversary to support mom. Squabbled over text a bit. Taking wife to help her parents get to cruise ship before leaving.

Earlier start this week. Explored modulating Erica Synths Pico DSP x2 to create poor approximation of flanger w/ mono delay. Also stereo delay for for metalic reverb. Also applied across different modular patches to create motion and for sound design. Useful on high hats, synthesized drums, resonant pinged percussion, and parallel filtered synth tones through LPF (Roland SYSTEM-500 505 VCF to Doepfer A-103). Used Michigan Synthworks Sy0.5 for additional drums. Recorded to Tascam. Made into Multi sample kits, standard sliced kits, and one shots for use in M8 w/ Ableton. Everything Sequenced in m8 w/ samples, internal synths, midi controled and processed Roland S-1. Focused on dubbed out sounds and novel eurorack sound design this time. Recorded raw stereo to Tascam. Bad cable pops in recording.
File Name: 1_13_26 Modular Session Ableton, 1-14-16 SUBS (Samples>sample fodder> Session 1_13_26 song specific samples) M8,
2 Additional song recordings made after upload. First, a modular patch session, expereimenting with sequencing both plaits units and braids w/ internal modulation and euclidean sequencing from Pam's Pro Workout. Randomized notes via pam.

so many cool sounds that just dance along nicely in such a groove. awesome!
Honestly, it's more so that I have a shit brain that forgets everything. I do it mostly out of necessity. If I don't get this stuff down, it's lost to the cosmos. I've done that previously and there is so much I can't find or work out anymore because of things being misplaced or not having the same understanding of where I mentally was when last working. Listing everything out has made it a lot easier to return and share things.
Thank you all for listening and sharing your thoughts. It's always rad to hear from everyone and see what they come up with as well. Cheers!
