Glasgow International art festival
Well things are hotting up round here with the impending start of the GI festival. With each passing day I get roped into assisting with more and more shows!
There’s some wonderful stuff coming up, including A Typical Root, Vestiges Park and the Beer and Pub Project. See the previews at Glasgow Internationa
Msa midi kit
Now that Christmas is over, I’ve had chance to build the kit I bought from highly liquid. I’ve had a few of these in the past, and they are really good quality and easy to build and use, highly recommend!
Took about an hour to build and about 15 minutes to install into my dr-110 to replace the arduino-midi converter I whipped up on strip board that was in there.
dr-110
my dr-110 arrived last week and i promptly set about dismantling it to modify. the dr-110 was one of the last analogue drum machines produced by boss and was severely lacking in control over the drums. as standard it came with accent, tempo, volume and balance control.
there are two great sources of mods for these machines, dave magnuson of resonant frequencies, for which the website has been down for some time, but there’s copies of the pages available to download from the electro-music forum, and a guy called rob from this page.
i’ve added mods mainly from daves, and a couple from robs huge list, and the results are phenomenal! i know have 13 additional pots, and the whole lot is being rehoused in a mini flight case thing i found in maplin for a tenner in the sale.
i’m writing a page on the mods i did so check back for the results.
