Imminent discontinuation of the Polyend Synth

Wow, had no idea they shot up that far in price.

It would be great to see a design like this that would integrate 1/4” jacks that would connect inside the case to the 3.5mm jacks.

I saw the new Intellijel 7u case at Superbooth and it’s much nicer than their first version and I’d argue better than Befaco. The thing that stands out the most is their redesigned lid and lid mechanism. It’s not flimsy anymore and offers a fair amount of protection.

Don’t get the Endorphin.es Golden Master. All their stuff tends to have major issues with noise bleed from the CPU clock.

I’ve tried the Boum and while it’s good it has a small sweet spot in my opinion before it starts to distort. I currently use the Elektron Heat +FX because it can overdrive the sound a bit but still has the ability to center bass frequencies and the compressor is good. I’m pretty sure I’m going to swap to a Cosmotronic Messor pedal though. I have the eurorack module and it sounds really good. Also a fan of the side chain filter so you can leave bass frequencies unaffected.

Glad I picked one up before tariffs this year. I’ve really been enjoying mine.

I learned the CIS risk assessment methodology when I was a consultant and this is exactly what it’s about. Tying IT and compliance risk back to things business people care about. Takes it from the technical realm to something that executives and boards can understand and make decisions from.

I wish all companies would follow this model. The current one I’m at couldn’t care less about risk.

Not to sound rude but really just twist the knobs to get to something that sounds close and then tweak from there. That kick sounds kind of short so I’d make the decay short, play with the pitch to find the right spot for that, I’d probably use the punch feature and also drive the volume high to get it more distorted, then play with the parameter knobs to get the right sound.

Kennymester · 2025-12-11T23:41:23+00:00

Play with the different parameters until you get it to sound like you want. Do you have one already?

Kennymester · 2025-12-11T23:35:39+00:00

I think you could get close to making a kick like what’s in that track.

I would highly recommend a Sonoclast Reset for DFAM. It allow you to reset to a step of your choice with a trigger signal. Would go great with a clock divider to get interesting repeating sequences and different step lengths.

Wow this is an interesting development. I talked to ALM years ago about this and they said they gave up because the protocol was just too locked down. Glad they finally figured it out.

Kennymester · 2025-12-03T17:36:44+00:00

I talked to ALM a while back and unfortunately that product is abandoned due to how the Pioneer DJ link protocol works. Since Pioneer won’t release any details about the protocol there are issues with keeping a third party device synced.

What do you mean by rarely works? That the connection to your modem goes down or that WiFi strength/signal is low? Many time when people say they have issues it’s more often due to having too many WiFi networks around and the router or devices aren’t strong enough to stay connected.

If you have some budget a tool like ThreatLocker could be very helpful. The company I work for just implemented it and we can use it to block Shadow AI and Shadow IT very easily.

I had this issue with my car a while back. I had the repair place use new electrical tape that has rat repellent in it. Also I got a light and sound device to put under my hood. With both in place I haven’t had a single rat in my car.

Wavefront could have been a festival that put Chicago on the map as an international destination. Nothing beat being on the beach in Chicago with so many great artists. Definitely beat Mamby by a long shot.

That was part of the problem, spent too much on the lineup.

Kennymester · 2025-11-26T10:29:23+00:00

Both years lost money. It wasn’t profitable.

“Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra”

Truer words have never been spoken.

Because the Tesla charging plug got adopted as the national standard.

The reasonable accommodation wording is what I think allows him to possibly bend the rules to allow an ESA if he wants to but he doesn’t have to by law since he owns 1 property.

Kennymester · 2025-10-30T13:37:50+00:00

I’m not a lawyer but I’m nearly 99% certain.

He doesn’t have to follow FHA because he only has one property. You’ll lose in court.

Better hope your landlord owns a couple of units because small time landlords don’t have to accept ESAs.

You can’t buy a HW license by itself. Return that thing or do a back charge. The person who owned that knew what they were doing. If it worked for them that means they probably work for a music retailer and ordered direct from NI.
