OK, here I come. Probably won't post this until after I get back of course. There may be photos by then.
Sunday today, didn't do much except (finally) reflash that GR-1, which I've been meaning to do for yonks. I'll also try and use the latest firmware, including shutting it down properly, assuming I can acquire the habit. Bank Holiday tomorrow but I think family coming for kitchen admiration and dog walking.
Monday, bank holiday, pleasant visit with Dawn & Chris then Jan & Lisa. Watched snooker and generally lounged around. Meant to plan the trip for wednesday but didn't. Only really need to note the station to get to from airport that's nearest the hotel so not exactly precise planning. Should also find a bag and check it fits the Ryanair requirements. Tomorrow...
Did Superbooth. To actually write about it though, not sure I have the time right now. Today (Tuesday) we took Margaret to Blackpool and she's got a date for her op (June). Yeah bit busy for blogging, sorry.
Superbooth summary: lots of gear. Some sounded great but had naff UI Some had some great ideas and innovations but failed to move me sonically. I was most drawn to the Fzzbillion pedal I'd seen before but still haven't ordered one. Failed to get a definitive answer on the Easel Command / vactrol offer and so have still not ordered one. Awaiting Odd1 for review, which promises to be interesting. Liked the Beat Friend but at £500 doesn't feel like an impulse buy. The RND might be but not available yet. So much stuff but what I really need is time to play with the stuff I already have.
Where am I? Well, a few days off Pat heading to her cruise. I agreed to do the next EMOM based on the idea Tim and I could take stuff in on the bus and make some shit up with whatever we take. It could be a week of lots of studio time but we'll see what fate throws in my path. I'll either take MPC or the S4 and maybe a BlackBox loaded with whatever takes my fancy.
