Give yourself a Christmas present .... and buy Arturia's V collection 11

Why I bought Arturia's V Collection .... and you should too Basically 50 year old synths are a maintenance problem ..... as well as a space problem .... and lets face the FACT that you can get the EXACT sound of them ...

Latest video shows some features of the 960 and the Q179 ..... and in case you didn't realize it ....... it's perfectly safe to interconnect 5U modular gear with Eurorack gear ....... absolutely no damage will occur and only in very rare situation will a little voltage scaling be required (which can be easily done on ANY signal processor of either Eurorack or 5U)

Behringer's 960 sequencer + Dotcom's Q179 = AMAZING value-for-money The Moog 960 sequence controller is legendary .... Behringer has re-created the functionality in a Eurorack module at an unbelievably LOW COST ..... meanwhil...

HAPPY NEW YEAR to my friends, fans and followers !

The reason for my prolonged absence...... on December 17th, I suffered a HEART ATTACK and had to be taken to hospital in ambulance..... I spent some time in ICU and then on ward C5 and was discharged on December 23rd.

Over Christmas, I spent most of time half-conscious and lying in bed ..... as I got tired very, very easily and could only be up and about the house for a few hours a day.

Over the last 3 days I have been regaining my strength ..... staying up longer and walking about more.

This morning I went walking down my gap and walked about 0.25 miles at about 1.6 mph without my heart rate ever exceeding 80 bpm ...... so I know I am really improving ....... and it is entirely because of the Grace of God and the earnest prayers of the saints on my behalf.

I faced quite a few spiritual battles when I was very weak physically and I promised Jesus that if I was allowed to recover I would focus more on my RELATIONSHIP with Him than on "mechanical service" which is the great failure of ORGANIZED RELIGION.

Yes, dear friends, even I (inspite of all my Youtube videos) was guilty of relegating my "time with God" and my "spiritual service" to be a "part of my life" while I went about doing what I wanted to do the rest of the time.

I see no such thing in the New Testament churches ....... rather I see people wholly dedicated to God and with a single focus (what modern-day "christians" would regard as fanaticism)

"Organized Religion" has now strayed so far from true "Christianity" that many, many people are going to be shocked out of their wits to discover that their final destination is actually HELL itself ...... and that they have NEVER actually known the One True God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Anyway I will be back to preaching and playing music very soon ..... and maybe, back to HIKING again eventually, if God makes that possible.

Do have a wonderful day 🙂

Calling all Modular musicians .... as well as those interested in creating "various noises" with Modular hardware or software synths ..... in fact, ANYBODY interested in learning about Modular ....
to a Modular Master Workshop.

Topics we will explore in the Master workshop include (but are not limited to):

1. Synthesis techniques and methods.
2. Electronic music production (genres include Ambient, Techno and House)
3. Film and Game sound production ..... learn how to make movie soundtracks and gaming loops ..... a really hot topic with money-making potential.

Indicate your interest at this time..... sessions will be scheduled in January 2024
