    Last Limp

    Old old old fiction taking place within the Ruggizuomo storyline featured in Dragon Mafia

    In the mist of New York, Roland Nikdydobrý was running in the rain. He had neither an umbrella nor a hat. He frantically looked around, as if he was searching for someone. He studied the crowd. There were no signs of steady movement. The people were walking like robots. He ran across the rainy streets, avoiding cars that honked at him but dared not stop. He stumbled into a nearby café. When that little bell rung, everyone slowly lifted their heads to stare at him. Their eyes were a thirsty blood red color. One woman reading a magazine stared at him with emerald green eyes. A teenage boy took his stare away from his iPhone to stare with blue eyes.

    Roland gulped. His chest was heaving. He ran out the door but was met with a crowd of people surrounding him…staring at him. He dashed across the street, little light shone in the rainy and cloudy skies. He ran up to a payphone, probably the last of its kind, and dialed a number like a frantic man.

    “Rugizzuomo Army, please!”

    He constantly checked his surroundings with quick glances. He waited for someone to pick up, and finally a click.

    “Maya! It’s Roland! Tell Riley I love him as a brother and I’ll miss him. I need this message delivered to Emperor Aaron. I am going to follow Beatrice to Illinois by posing as an entourage member. Someone is already letting me know they know I’m suspicious. I know because all of New York is possessed! Even when I was on something called the Wendy Williams show and the spell took affect there. Do not send forces until I end up dead and on the news!”

    He hung up and frantically looked like someone on the run from police. He searched for a taxi while watching the surroundings. A man across the street stared at him. Another person across the street smiled. Everyone started smiling at him as the rain came down harder and the winds picked up like a hurricane. A newspaper flew in his face. Roland struggled with it, and when he ripped it off a taxi was right in front of him. He forced the door open and scrambled inside with haste.

    “Drive!” He commanded as he slammed the door.

    The wet man looked in the rear-view window and saw the taxi driver, whom was smiling and had eyes flooded with green colors. Roland stumbled out of the moving car and ran across the street and into the flowing crowd of walkers. They stopped to watch as he entered another taxi. He made his way inside and examined the driver. He smiled, but his smile wasn’t sinister and evil. The car drove off and Roland sighed with relief. As they came to an intersection Roland heard the sound of a speeding car. He looked out the window and another car slammed into the taxi. The left door creaked open and Roland, bloodied from his left cheek to his hand, fell out shaking and trembling. He stood up and limped across the sleek city streets. The world was spinning. Those red eyes still followed him like red neon lights.

    There were 3 stories in the Last Limp saga. One preceded this, and was about Roland going to Illinois to monitor Beatrice. In this version Roland, brother of Riley, was investigating a cult of some sort. They called themselves Kuruga. It is left open to your interpretation. I will certainly not play with it.

  2. Yesterday's setup for my Hiphop workshop with a young + talented rapper and producer. TR-808 Mid Tom triggering the Simmons SDS8 Kick for extra low punches is a very cool weapon and great fun. Hooked up the Korg Volca Beats just for comparison since my client might get into hardware and naturally has to start somewhere. The Volca series machines sound good and are very affordable.

    1/2

  5. An exclusive preview for my followers. The open day setup, #Commodore #C64 with #Roland interface plugged to external port is driving several #synthesizers. You hear the live produced sound, not a mixed in background sample.
    Come to see it tomorrow and Saturday in #computermuseum #Visselhövede.

  6. I just fixed another #Roland #SH101. A lot of damage and since the oscillator (famous #CEM3340) was dead and needed replacement I ran into hi notes tuning issues once more. This time I addressed them by making a custom circuit with a dedicated hi end trimmer.

    If you have the same issue, please drop me a note to see if there is demand for a small series production.

  7. Винтажный цифровой дисторшн Roland V-Guitar GR-D

    Привет, Хабр! Сегодня мы познакомимся с интересным артефактом из недалёкого прошлого. Выпуск этой педали эффектов был начат в 2012 году, когда технологии цифровой обработки звука электрогитары переживали бурное развитие, в котором лидировала японская компания Roland. Уже в марте 2009 года, за неполные семь лет, мировые продажи гитарных комбоусилителей культовой серии Roland CUBE перевалили за миллион экземпляров. Помню, какое восхищение вызвал у меня мой первый Micro CUBE в середине нулевых. Эффекты серии GR стали воплощением следующей ступени эволюции технологий Roland. Мощностей тогдашних DSP всё ещё не хватало, чтобы полноценно заменить настоящий аналоговый аудиотракт, но результаты были впечатляющими. Могут ли они пригодиться сегодня? Увидим и услышим!

  8. Last year I needed to repair the backlight of the display of my Roland D-550. I've chosen to replace it with an OLED.
    Now I've created a short video with footage and pictures taken during my repair. More information to be found in the description of the video on Peertube.

    Mistigram: March 3rd is 3/03, so today technoheads celebrate the #Roland #TB303 Bass Line synthesizer. Here is one illustrated in #teletext by @blippypixel, as seen in the music-themed MIST0121 artpack collection released four years ago. Happy #303Day!

  10. #Roland P-6 update: threw some 808 and 909 samples on it. Live recording and step sequencing are simple enough. The fact that every pot is a pot and not an encoder is a bit frustrating. I mean, they can't all be encoders, but the sample editing knobs are frustrating af, because if I tweak the volume of my kick for example, then go to tweak the volume of the snare, the moment I touch it, the snare jumps from w/e volume it was at to the position of the knob. (1 of ?)...
