Pondering a large-knobs desktop monosynth (which will actually almost entirely be a bunch of my #eurorack designs with larger I/O boards, a ton of sane normalling, and a single common panel).
In my defense, I actually have a specific use-case in mind. I spent some time last weekend at BOOM Club in #DurhamNC (https://www.boom-club.org/) and ppl definitely seemed hesitant to touch the synths on display, despite it intentionally being set up as a synth petting zoo.
So what I *want* to do is similar to what the #Erica #Bullfrog does -- a friendly monosynth that demonstrates typical synth signal flow in a hands-on fashion.
Why not just use the Bullfrog? Well, mostly because I don't necessarily agree w/some of their choices :)
Like, I agree with "no built in keyboard" because Too Much Trouble. But I think "make weird squelchy noises" gets old quickly for most people, so I want to include a simple playable 8-step sequencer.
And I want the thing fully normalled so that there's a default working flow with zero patches -- but still make it patchable.
Now all I need is for freaking Trump to back down from his China tariffs . . .

On Thursday, I, along with some 4,500 others, tuned in to one of Indivisible’s weekly Zoom meetings led by Indivisible founders
#Ezra #Levin and
#Leah #Greenberg. There are about 1,600 local Indivisible groups scattered around the country
-- and more are springing up each day.“Throughout history,” said Levin, “there has been no solution to creeping authoritarianism other than all of us — mass, broad-based organizing from people all over the country, from all walks life.”
“If your ideas are popular and you have a mandate for change,” Greenberg said
“you do not hide from your constituents.
We are the ones who are out there,
who are unafraid and organizing and showing up in public because our ideas are popular.
When people hear what we have to say, they want that, not them.”The April 5 protests are meant to be a show of strength.
“‘Hands Off,’” said Greenberg, “is a message about everything that is happening, right?
It’s hands off Medicaid,
hands off our democracy,
hands off Social Security,
hands off our environment,
hands off veterans benefits.”Now, for those who think that firebombing Tesla dealerships is a better tactic than nonviolent protests,
I would remind you of the world-changing work of Gandhi and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.And I would also tell you about the work of Harvard political scientist #Erica #Chenoweth and her colleagues.
To Chenoweth’s surprise — shock, actually — she discovered that over time, nonviolent protests are far more successful than violent ones.
Between 1900 and 2006, she says, campaigns of nonviolent civil resistance were twice as successful as violent campaigns.
She also came up with the so-called 3.5% rule:
No government can withstand a challenge from around 3.5% of its population without accommodating the movement. -
