Friday Night Bordom
Sequentix P3 controlling two MIDIbox SID-NUXXs chained into an x0xb0x.
I arrived home from work a bit early today with nothing to do. I’m not exactly sure why I did it, but for some reason I got out my Sequentix P3, MOS SID 6581 and 8580-based MIDIbox SID-NUXXs, and x0xb0x. I chained the MIDIbox SID-NUXXs into each other, ran those through the x0xb0x, hooked it all up to the P3, then got to playing. I spent a good bit of time going back through the P3’s manual, stopping somewhere in the Step section. (Yes, I have yet to learn about using accumulators… I know…)
Anyway, I mostly just screwed around with three patterns, one for each instrument, stacking them on top of each other. The end result is this:
It’s nothing great, just my screwing around. But I can say that all the sound and sequencing comes from gear I put together myself.
Now, to find something to do tonight. I’m sort of in the mood to do something social, but I’m not sure what. A club / bar is kind of out, as it’s a bit dull going by one’s self uncertain if there will be anyone familiar there. Hmm.
I think I’ll at least play some Missile Command. :D

I feel the same way. Though the longer I stay at home the more I am content to stay here.
Eat a 250g bag of potato chips, watch The Colbert Report, then put on some James and we’ll both be in the same situation.
you know, they make these things called cell phones…oddly enough when you call people, sometimes they answer : )
Man, I wish I had a steadier hand with the ol’ soldering iron…
