About
About this blog:
I started this blog (still detest that word) because writing on various community sites (LJ, K5, HuSi) under a variety of pseudonyms just didn’t make sense if I actually wanted to write something of substance. The intent is to post random things of interest (like every other blog out there), but also to maintain a record of various projects that I’m working on. Perhaps it may appeal to a slightly wider audience than my regular crew, or perhaps not. That’s hardly relevant. I will try to update daily about… well, something. It may be synth-related, about Live PA, computers, rabbits, general nerd-ery, etc. Who knows? And as the subheading at the top of the page reads: who cares?
About me:
Well, where to start? I’m a 30-year-old computer engineer living in Vancouver, BC, and work as a software developer for a local energy management company. I’m happily married and we have four a number of lovely rabbits (don’t worry, they’re all fixed). Several years ago, my wife and I moved into our new (old) duplex and started renovating it. I’m pleased to report that we are still married, even after renovating the kitchen and other smaller projects. My hobbies include writing music, playing computer/video games, going camping, and hanging out with friends. That pretty much sums it up, and if you want to know more then you’ll have to ask my stalker.
andrew –
i added you as a friend on facebook, but really i just wanted to message you. i seek your mentoring in the making of some minor changes to my juno 6.
i had a juno 106 in my posession for about 2yrs due to a rich friends memory lapse, but that time is long gone.
anyway, just bought the juno 6 and i am content thus far. esp without that whole patch storage nonsense, cluttering up the interface!!!
but here is what it comes down to:
I want to extend the pitch/dco bender range to a full octave. Have you any experience with a mod like this? i was thinking/hoping/praying that it would just be a matter of swapping out resistors, or maybe swapping for a pcb mount trimming potentiometer/variable resistor.
i just don’t know where to start. my frist synth was the realistic concertmate mg-1, and–i guess– because of its crapiness, i found mods galore online. but with the juno 6 i have found nothing.
let me know if you can point me in the right direction, towards the right forum, or can offer me any first hand knowledge on where to start and what to do.
