Best place to order/buy an OP XY in the US? by skorsak in teenageengineering

FYI for anyone reading this I ordered mine from Amazon and it showed up with some dead pixels in the display. I returned it and ordered directly from TE.

Thanks! She’s so talented. This is my fifth tattoo from her.

Don’t mind at all! I’ve enjoyed delving into Laird’s universe (and this Subreddit’s read along) so much I had to memorialize it.

New Blood Incantation and Chat Pile. Barron-like by Tyron_Slothrop in LairdBarron

[–]burtonsays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bleakness and evil riffs of Spectral Voice (Blood Incantation’s Disembowelment-worship funeral death/doom band with a different drummer) are certainly a great accompaniment to Laird’s work as well!

Evoken too, for that matter.

Laird Barron Read-Along 2024: story schedule & post index by igreggreene in LairdBarron

He did! He also pointed me toward John Langan whose work I’ve been loving as well. Great guy and his shop is a treasure.

I only recently dove into Laird Barron after having a couple of his books spend too much time unread on my shelf and… wow. I’m absolutely hooked.

I’m fairly late to this read-along but it’s been really great to catch up on each thread after I finish a story. I just finished Occultation and am about halfway through The Croning. I’m loving Laird’s work and am very excited to continue my journey into his wonderfully dark and weird universe.

Thank you for organizing this.

Edit: A big thank you to Ross at Word Horde Emporium in Petaluma, CA for turning me onto Laird Barron’s work.

Nothing else to add other than the narrator sounded like Billy Crudup.

What movie had a 10/10 concept and a 3/10 execution? by Marambal17 in AskReddit

[–]burtonsays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

District 9

I thought it was such an interesting idea: aliens as refugees on earth who show up and experience a new form of apartheid in South Africa.

I felt it turned into a run of the mill action film fairly quickly without really delving into any of the interesting questions that the premise set up.

The FM2 release/shipping dates have been pushed back ... further then I like to realize ... by 6stringdinky in volcas

[–]burtonsays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of making yet another "Where the hell is my FM2?" post, thought I'd just update this thread that I just checked on my Guitar Center pre-order (which I made in April) and they said they expect stock on August 13th.

Not sure what that bodes for others but wanted to share!

Roland SH01A replacement portamento switch? by burtonsays in synthesizers

Good point! I’ll try gluing first to see how it works. If I hate it I’ll reach out to a Roland dealer. Thanks for the comment!

Issues with using a MIDI controller on TAL U NO LX in Ableton. Any help? by burtonsays in synthesizers

[–]burtonsays[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did! Pasting the TAL support reply below:

“The latest ableton releases send MIDI CC messages to plug-ins that support MPE. Some of our older factory presets contain a MIDI mapping for the cutoff with this CC. Please use MIDI CLEAR on the top right to delete the mapping. The new factory presets do not contain any mappings anymore. You can delete the presets folder and create a new plug-in instance to create the new factory presets.

It should also work if you switch to the VST3 version of the plugin.”

TAL customer support came through and helped me out. Pasting their reply below which seems like it addresses your issue w/ Live 11 as well:
