2020 Happenings! (BOSS Strikes Back)

[D.o.S.]

I've moved over to software recently, and it's been a fun time to transition.

That looks pretty awesome. What else are you working with?

Too much stuff already. I'm deeply into the plugin hole. Over the last week I've been concentrating on Pigments with Crystals and Mimik OD (Puremagnetik). When I lose some momentum with work, I'll post a lengthy summary. Right now I'm too busy actually doing sound design to do much else.

I'm having some initial trouble with Drone (users settings not being recalled). It's fun, it's deep, but that is a drag. Their support staff wants me to send them videos (argh).

Today, I began a 4-day trial of Fundamental. ---I've been waiting on something like this for a long time. Getting it over to a VST host was a huge fucking aggravation. You have to open the DMG file and then drag multiple folders over to complete the installation. (which is easy if you know that's the issue) I can't remember the last time I saw that. I kept refreshing my host, restarting the computer, and nothing was showing up in the DAW. Finally I emailed the designer.

Now that I can actually use it inside a host, it sounds superb with Crystals (low mix). I've just had gentle waves playing rhythmically in the background all afternoon.

Here's some huge news for Apple users. The speculation concerning Apple merging operating systems is poised to happen as early as Q4. This means that users will be able to import iOS-only apps to their desktops (Borderlands Granular, Model 15, Animoog, Scape, Bloom).

Apple also introduced macOS Big Sur, which the company describes as is biggest update in more than a decade.

Big Sur includes technologies that are designed to ensure a smooth transition to Apple silicon. Developers can convert their existing apps to run on Apple’s new Macs, while providing compatibility with existing Macs. And for the first time, developers can make their iOS and iPadOS apps available on the Mac without any modifications.

Apple plans to ship the first Macs with Apple silicon by the end of the year and to complete the transition from Intel processors to custom Apple Silicon in about two years.

There are supposed to be legacy apps available to allow programs designed for Intel-based computers to continue working for some time.

Apple says that it, along with major developers, already have their apps running on the new ‘Apple Silicon’ Mac platform. Based on this, it sounds like there will be a lengthy transition period where your old apps work, while updated apps will deliver new features and better performance.

Great... Apple now with an even more useless, pointless and unprofesional os than ever before...

Didn’t Microsoft do this when they launch Windows 8 and their smartphones? If I remember correctly nobody liked that.

Oh I like this! Also not too expensive. Tempting

[coldbrightsunlight]

Looks very cool! I'd love the option with a thing like this to send it an input signal too. But it's still good as it is.

Price seems reasonable

I've been wanting something like this for ages, and at that price i'm definitely going to jump on it.

I've been planning a mixer feedback setup using my two extra mixers and a few random pedals. Might have to throw an EQ into that mix and see what I can do with it. Depending on the results, I may or may not jump on this thing too.

[Chankgeez]

Which one of these machines would I use for my cover of this?

[Dandolin]

ok, so, obviously the harpsichord is the most critical in capturing the essence of that arrangement, do...whichever's a rompler?

[Chankgeez]

Harpsichord and also those pink pants are a key aspect of gettin' that sound.
