    I replaced a clutch that turned to goo in a #KitchenAid mixer. That was probably 15 years ago at least? The replacement is now turning to goo.

    The rubberized pitch bending and expression wheels on my #Alesis #Quadrasynth Piano Plus turned to goo like two decades ago.

    The polymer lining of the suction cups of windshield mounted GPS #navigators horribly turns to goo with a combination of age and upon repeated exposure to sunlight.

    KitchenAid is overrated shit by the way. I only got that mixer because it was a good deal in a second-hand store, and at that time I didn't know how badly overrated shit KitchenAid is. It's a completely empty brand name that's all about appearance. Lipstick on a Kenmore.

  2. Wär ich ein Inflohünzer würde ich jetzt ein sehr, sehr langes Video über die Firma #Alesis und speziell deren Produkt "Strata Core" machen und mich auf eine anschliessende Slapp-Klage vorbereiten. Ich bin echt richtig angepisst...

  3. I noticed that my #Alesis #Microverb4 effect processor was becoming quite noisy. I already changed some capacitors a few years ago, but today I proceeded to a complete recapping. The results are very good! The noise is once again very low and the sound quality is very good.

  4. I have a couple of tip top bits of early 90s music/studio kit for sale on eBay. Alesis Midiverb 4 (multi FX) and Alesis D4 (drum module). Both in excellent condition and fully working with new user memory backup batteries.

    Boosts for reach and any questions very welcome. Full glorious bumph in the eBay listings.

  5. It’s somewhat annoying to try repeated repairs on these boards in that, if/when the parts burn, you then have to pull quite a lot of parts off the board to measure whether they’re good or not.

    Surprisingly enough, the usual culprit in switch-mode PSUs, the low ESR caps on the output side, they seem intact. No bulges, even pulled off a few to check for capacitance.

  6. Proceeded to remove all damaged parts from both the loudspeaker PSUs. Board 1 parts to the left, board 2 to the right. Marked one of the transistors that exploded on the photo, a general purpose NPN.

    It seems the board design is of type that, upon one active component failing on the output side of PWM chip, a lot of related parts can burn up. This section circled on schematic photo.

  7. Alesis announced its new Strata Core drum kit

    Alesis introduces the Strata Core featuring advanced BFD-powered sound, responsive mesh heads, and a 7-inch touchscreen for seamless performance customization.

  8. Well, have decided to try my hand at creating music with #sequencing after rekindling my interest in #electronicmusic - bearing in mind the last time I used a sequencer it was an #Alesis MMT8 - and it was new!

    This time it will all be #inthebox though. Cubase includes a simple but handy sequencer called Step Designer and I've installed the free VST plugin called #Stochas which has more advanced capabilities like 'probability' attribute per note and more... I may be 'asking the audience'.. soon!

  9. Someone is selling a #Yorkville amp, the AP1200.

    That would be nice in my #guitar rig. Want to get rid of that #Alesis RA100.

  10. Is there anybody here that has a dumped #Alesis #Midifex EPROM they are willing to share? #audio

  11. So, I have purchased a nice #keytar Alesis Vortex Wireless 2. Now, there is an application to edit the presets for windows and mac, but it turns out that the mac application is too old for recent macOS versions. I can run the windows application in my mac laptop with #wine (I use #Codeweavers #CrossOver) but, as I'm not normal, I'm reversing the Windows application to write my own version.
