The BlipTronic works well! Crazy you had to play live in order to keep time, nailed it though.

Slow and steady wins the race. Are those vocals in there?

Oooooh, that's a tasty blend, rich and bright! Great job on doing live parts, excellent outcome, everything's nice and tight. I lost it at "only creates pure weird crap", had to look up what a "U-Create Music" looks like, glad I did hehehehe

Good track! And well done for doing things live.
Had to check what instruments the BlipTronic and the "U-Create Music" were, very cool that you found a use for them.

Nice one. Good sounds and props for playing live, sometimes more fun that way. I'm inspired to march to the poles to vote ... actually dropped my ballot off yesterday though, very eager to find out the outcome, maybe cautiously optimistic for a positive one. I too, will now go look up these mysterious instruments.

A lesser (though perhaps smarter) person would just record a sample and loop that to the tempo, but clearly you like to go the extra distance and play the whole thing live.

You are correct.  I thought of the sampling a loop after the fact but I didn't know what I was doing and playing live was my only hope at getting something started. Some weeks you start with the loop other weeks the loop starts with you

Now I feel bad that I said it only produces pure crap. It is a weird toy but you actually can do some neat stuff in a "so crappy it's kind of good" way.  And now I have been messing around with it all week.

As Devieus smugly pointed out, I could have just sampled it and problem solved. It's kind of a miracle that the 6 position BPM knob actually landed a fairly accurate 100 bpm that I could sync up to for several measures at a time.  Holy shit I think I see Corky in your avatar, or am I the only one seeing it?

Love the guitar sound combined with the synths.  It's like the Cure meets New Order (imho).  Really enjoyed the guitar line midway through as you can sense the race reaching it's peak.

Sounds fantastic to me.  And sometimes those imperfect or chaotic elements make the song.  Love the hopeful feel of this.  I did my part and voted early and, at least locally, the election went the way I hoped it would.  Got our jackass senator voted out!

A little text to speech but no real vocals.

I played the wedding march at a friends wedding using the bliptronic and a casio VL-Tone.  Forgot about it since! Fun gadgets.

Yep, definitely fun to play live after a few weeks of sequenced material. I did not get the total blue wave I had hoped for in the election but Dems made good inroads in the state houses which is a good sign!

Thanks for listening everyone!
