Well it’s all over, it was a good weekend though very hot with temperatures hitting 28 or 29 on Saturday. I did spend a large portion of the time asleep due to heat and just being tired from working some very long days recently.

Who knows, maybe it’ll spur me on to do more with it. I doubt I’ll ever make it polyphonic, but it might fun to have a monster digital/analogue [...]
