Read the comments for this video, hilarious.


This was hilarious :rofl I actually enjoy Mark Johnston, he's got a lovely calm voice and nice demos. Oora is relaxing as well, nice voice with an Italian accent and chill bleeps and bloops. But this product launch had my eyes rolling so fucking hard.
 
I had no idea that was taking the keyboard part so literally, by using actual computer keyboard switches on it. On top of that, wtf would they choose clicky switches?!

The website editor is kinda stupid. There's nothing wrong with using web technologies for that sort of stuff, it works fine, but they would be far better off just packaging that as an Electron app so it runs like a desktop app and thus it doesn't matter if the website is online or not.
 
Since I'm now plagued by synth GAS for whatever reason, I'm just going to put it out there that this CLACK-CLACK insta-friendly synth costs more than a Hydrasynth explorer or even a Hydrasynth desktop if you want a similar size.

As a Hydrasynth Explorer owner, I approve this message.
 
I'm GAS'ing hard for a Hydrasynth Deluxe, both for its sounds and as a midi controller with the polyphonic aftertouch.

I was torn between the desktop and the keyboard because the price difference wasn't much. I can noodle awfully on keys and use them to program midi, but I'm not a keys player by any stretch. I already have a decent midi keyboard (no poly at obviously, only mono).

Now the keyboard went up in price and the desktop went down, so it was easier to make the choice I actually wanted.
 
Back in my day, we didn't have no fancy Commodore 64s... or fancy computer games...

If you wanted to play a game wayyy back then, and you were tired of beating everybody with sticks and throwing rocks at each other, you had to program your own games see on the Commodore VIC-20! You had to checkout the latest BYTE magazine see from your school library to get the code! And if you didn't have your library card you were shit out of luck and had to go back to rocks and sticks! And you took that BYTE magazine home see and you typed in the code on your Commodore VIC-20 until your fingers were bloody nubs! And then you got all excited when you typed "play" to start the game! And then you got an error because you missed a character when typing in the code, so you had to start all over again from scratch! And you did this for months until you got it right! And when you got it right and typed "play" again, the game ran too slow because you were playing it on a potato with a keyboard! You couldn't play it anyways because you had no fingers left to play it with! Just a pair of bloody stumps that used to be your hands! That's the way we did it and we liked it! By golly all happy day!

LOL all true. Typing in source code in BASIC was easy enough, but occasionally they'd publish a game in assembly language and expect you to type in around 10 pages of hex without making a single mistake. Very optimistic. The one time I attempted this feat (on a membrane keyboard no less!) I got about halfway through, and my mom's boyfriend cut the power mains without warning to replace a fuse or something. (This was in the days of cassette tape storage. Frequent saves were not a thing LOL.) That was the end of that.

But we digress.

The only thing weirder than a keyboard player is a keyboard player with too much money. ;)

I want those lil wooden guys


Not for $1,000 though lol
I kind of (mostly irrationally) want everything Teenage Engineering manufacturers. Not for any of their corresponding prices, though. :D

(The lil wooden guys I could live without, actually...)

Yeah!

I tried teaching myself Assembly once in the early 90s; bought a book. I managed to (IIRC) call Interrupt 19H on my IBM PS/2. Which rebooted the computer. :LOL:

While I found it very interesting, I honestly did not have the patience to sit and learn any more. Too fucking dry and soulless for my tastes.
