I see a number of recent Roland MT-32 clone projects out there, built using Raspberry Pi and the like. I don't see any that are being sold, pre-assembled.

The BulkyMIDI-32 looks great, but I don't think it's being sold, assembled.

If such things are on offer, can someone point me to a decent unit?

A little upgrade for our Roland TD-1K electronic drum kit that we bought back in 2020.

Gained a few extra bars and clamps off eBay and managed to separate each individual drum element to one side of the kit.

This solved the issue of the cymbal hits triggering the toms or vice versa when two elements were too close together.

Now it plays even better. And looks a lot more compact.

We have an electronic drum set up with a stool and amp on a burgundy mat in a room. The drums are mainly black with white edges for the pads and white cymbals. Beyond the kit and mat is beige wooden flooring and a dark grey sofa. The walls are white and there's a radiator next to the kit.

I recorded another track on the portable lunchbox #eurorack #modular #synth yesterday. It is called "Apple Pi a la Mode", to keep with the lunchbox / food stuff theme. Plus given yesterday's date...

Wanted to use the #roland #cr78 for some percussions, but that's not super portable (and runs on 110V, not battery power), so I ended up capturing a few loops on a TC Electronic Ditto+ looper pedal. Created a playlist for these tracks. #music #analog #modularsynth #loops.

Then, we moved to an exploration of the musical instruments with #MIDI output.

This option seemed to be a great compromise between [relatively] clean sonic data output while keeping the fragile layers of ethnographic context [relatively] intact.

Since the RomChords project focuses primarily on harmonic accompaniments for guitar and accordion, we worked with a #Roland FR-1x #MidiAccordion and a #Jamstik #MidiGuitar.

knob tangent: my #sp555's knob flew off :(

and i havent been able to find one that fits in the shops round here, either (bc #roland / #boss molded a little ring on the chassis around the pots)

might order some of the #djtt #chroma knobs next time i stay in 1 place long enough for the shipment to reach me, i wonder if they'll fit lol

and when i fix all that i'm wondering if i can get anything for the remaining 5 original knobs, lol

@superflippy @futurebird for me one of the main differentiator of hardware synths and software is the human interface. At a minimum, I can adjust two knobs at a time. With sliders, many more. With software with a mouse... one, and not in a satisfying way.

Pictured is a pg1000 programmer for a Roland D50/D550 synth. Digital synth, but much more satisfying with the physical interface.

Bytes Europe · Challenging How Germany Remembers the 1972 Olympics AttackYou don’t expect to see security guards roaming the foyer of the Hannover State Opera, a well-regarded, midsize opera house in a midsize central German city.But before the Saturday premiere of “Echo 72: Israel in Munich,” a new opera about the attack on Israeli athletes by Palestinian militants at the 1972 Munich Olympics, at least four guards tried to blend into the crowd, surveying audience members as they arrived.“The biggest challenge is fear, and the fear is everywhere,” said Laura Berman, the Hannover State Opera’s artistic director. “The fear is in all the people who participate in the project.”While “Echo
