UI Brainstorming

Gonna have Colin and Tony here for a few days, an excuse for a curry of course, well two. Reminds me I haven't finished the text I was doing for the website but most importantly I need to get together my ideas for UI improvements, especially for the track view, and persuade the man himself. I think he knows things need to change but I hope to avoid the idea of democracy that can happen when you start to get a lot of users, each pulling in their own direction. That ain't how a great instrument is made, and I could offer some examples but shan't (on this occasion). One thing I have to have is faster, clearer navigation or the P3 will have to come out of its box.

Fortunately I made some notes although being hand-written I'll need to try and work out what the hell I wrote. I have some Minimoog mods to get sorted also, may as well try and get my modulation issues sorted and the LFO better integrated. Plus, as I've no use for pitch bend, it should have a new non-sync function, which will be to vary the speed of VCO3. Hope I'm not asking for too much.

May go over to visit Paul and admire his massive Arrick, all depends how drunk/stoned we get on Friday.

Dean has mastered our track for the Edgar compilation. It sounds great so must get that off soon. We also have a new Headshock album almost complete, with a few things I want to fix still but the core is there. Will get Dean to master the rest of it cos basically he's a genius. Noticed my old Two Voice in their latest video, glad it went to a good home.

Have a set of 'urban supernatural' tracks almost done, I wanted to do one last one so it's a decent collection but drew a blank of my weird piano piece today. At least I did something I like but it's not going to be suitable, too much melody which so often happens.

Managed to snatch a bit of time on novel, even did a preliminary cover after a few beers.

I have cash for a new synth but nothing is quite grabbing me. I should play with Paul's Serge again as it's the only thing in ages that really caught my ears as different. A new effect or two might be wiser. Keen to hear what's coming from France.
