I literally have boxes of acrylic and water based oils. And a box of canvases I already gessoed in black.
I wish I had the same interest in art, but my art Professor last semester was very hostile to people. I thought it was because she was Russian and with everything going on.
Nope! Turns out shes just an a$$*olā¬.
I ended walking away before the last project and taking the L.
I was honors too.
Next semester itās all music.
Luckily music theory doesnāt care about how you feel. You can bullshit bad art as āconceptualā
Canāt bullshit jazz chord progressions!
A 2-5-1 is
A 2-5-1 is

And ā¦ well you know the rest.
@Odo. Make sure you post up your work! Iām jealous!

That sounds shitty, sorry that was your experience. But you can be just as successfully self taught with visual art as you can with music, just depends on your goals. Def hold onto those paints and canvases if you have the space, the bug may hit you at some point and youāll be glad to have them.
I drop stuff into the artwork thread periodically, but since I was specifically asked hereās a recent one

Iāve been thinking about getting one of these to pair with my Ryk Vector Wave. Nice to see a non-manufacturer demo!

The more I look at this, the more I want it on a black tee shirt.
If you sell this on merch, I get dibs on #001.

Its the keys that make me not look at Livenware stuffā¦ just chiclets that rattle
much to my chagrinā¦ My recently aquired West Pest has the same buttonsā¦ oh well.
They say you get used to themā¦ do they bother you?
Not as much as I thought, bear in mind Iām no keys player but I can work out a bass line or some chords on them ok, I actually prefer them to a lot of other grooveboxes not in feel but number, you get a little over 2 octaves which is more than most. Compared to say OP-Z I find the Liven keys much better, but obviously that isnāt saying much as OP-Z keys are terrible IMHO.
Liven keys I think are the collapsible rubber dome variety so they have a hard feel to the keys themselves but a squishy travel, you get used to them pretty quick. I really like the Livens though, I will get the Texture Lab next, playful fun devices with limitations but oodles of charm and some je ne sais quoi that I canāt put my finger on.

Ahh, thatās awesome! Yeah, thatās what I plan on doing more, but hopefully streamline the process with templates and by making a āstandardā way of using the tracks.

a little while back I relieved @pmags of his DarkTime, since it was listed at a price I couldnāt resist and I missed having one. simple sequencers are such fun little happy accident machines! anyway it needed to have a firmware update to unlock my favorite feature (reset via CV in) and after some back/forth with Doepfer I finally accomplished that and am loving playing with this little gem again.

Cool, hope you enjoy yours! Itās my first multi-algorithm pedal, and so far I think it hits a great sweet spot between versatility and knob-per-function playabilityā¦

This has downstream reverb, right? Could you please do a demo with just raw sounds?

Picked up a Digitech Whammy DT.
So far impressed. With synth multitracking it struggles a bit with densely packed compositions, but for single track output itās a flawless experience. Pretty simple but another means of performative output. The āMomentaryā footswitch operates with temporary holds, which works great for fills or manual pulses. If you ever wanted to do something like FILLS on Elektron but involving pitch shifting, this will cover that territory.
On that note have Digitone in this picture because I was comparing it with Digitoneās built in transposition. The Digitone in my experience is still faster and easier to program these on, but having delivery over a whammy allows for more of a timed slide effect versus instant jump between semitones and octaves.
Syntakt and Digitakt donāt have the same transposition mechanisms, but there is some wiggle room obviously with shifting tune manually or to preprogrammed destinations. Havenāt tested with guitar yet. Iāll mostly want to see how it behaves taking dry input to cabinet sim & effects sends in Ableton. If there is latency Iāll need to think about how I want it in the chain, i.e external effect or whatnot.
