The 12th is my Birthday which will be spent working on the most boring work I have ever had.

I'm guessing your 12th will be more interesting

Yowza! Congrats dude!!!

Background:
Back in the early 80's a friend loaned me his ARP 2600, knowing that I played keyboards. I didn't know anything about synthesis and to me it sounded like just so much noise.

I never took the considerable challenge of learning subtractive synthesis, which I regret, it would have more fully embraced my sound designer talent. To be in my 20s and drawn to that flame would have been awesome. But all the same, I'm glad I didn't get into it back then- analog synthesis in the late 70's, 80's was ridiculously expensive and fiddly. Are there improvements with your new baby made for stabilizing pitch?

It's curious that I'm a musician and not a graphic designer. Learning the piano as a kid was great, taking lessons for 5 years starting at 7, I had a long stretch of enthusiastic practice and application. But since then it's been rare for me to be going for it. I sound like someone in need of a project!

But I've had that moth to flame many many times with graphics, it seems easier to come by- like obsessing over the layout of a newsletter. I wish my capability of never-ending focus happened more often with music.

How about yourself. Why the 2600? - Are you an avid voltage tweaker? - Is it all about the compelling challenge of doing sound design for different projects? - What motivates you to be so hands on and building sound from the ground up?

And what effects are you using? Hardware, DAW?

Any cool projects to motivate?

Wonder if it arrived?
