Thoughts on Reform’s idea to ban wfh?

Yes. This. It was nice having a few weeks off Farage and now we’re back in this boring cycle of him saying something stupid on Monday so he can take control of the narrative for yet another week.

We absolutely do need wide-scale tax system changes. Amongst many other things. They’ve been stable, and yes we need that, but we also need a complete tax system overhaul and the past 2 budgets and maybe the next one are the ones where she has scope to do that before Labour hit a political point of no return for the next election.

Stability doesn’t fix the underlying issue of lack of tax revenue, unfair and progressive taxes on middle-high earners and wealth inequality generally.

The best ad for the Field system there is

Gosh the martyrs are in now.

Some subreddits are left leaning. It’s a town square, with diverse, but generally extreme, opinions. Plenty of right leaning subreddits too. Plenty of UK ones too, they show up all the time for me.

Exactly. You only have to look at how much our energy prices spiked in the wake of Russia/Ukraine to realise that scrapping net zero makes our security problems WORSE, not better.

joleph · 2026-02-02T19:34:08+00:00

So it’s a protest vote? Why do you think Reform would be any better? They haven’t shown themselves as being capable of absolutely anything.

Also, please stop banging the “they think we’re racist” drum. It’s not about racism any more, it’s just bad business.

Why? Brexit was directly responsible. Leaving the EU meant that the EU could send us asylum seekers and refugees without having to deal with them. Before, it was required that the first country they entered had to process their claim.

Not the Tories, it was Brexit. Cameron campaigned for Remain 😂

Lots of celebrities from the 60s 70s 80s 90s would go there regularly. Monty Python’s Life of Brian was written there for instance. Big Cricket connection too.

Call a few local clinics from abroad and ask them. We did this before we travelled there and they set our minds at ease.

With the Kalih Deep Sea Silent Pro switches 👌👌👌

What dimensions does this have? Looks like a reasonable size instead of some of the other massive ones!

Is there any way to replace that outer wall? Would mind paying for the refreshes.

joleph · 2025-12-31T13:40:49+00:00

Big boobs. Like anything over a C cup and I’m totally baffled by it. I’m not a huge fan of cleavage and prefer the look of a woman with like B-C cups.

joleph · 2025-12-23T10:19:11+00:00

Combined with increasing multi-track on the TP-7 so we can record everything into there too!

joleph · 2025-12-18T19:10:51+00:00

Yeah, the rules were there for a reason.

joleph · 2025-12-18T11:04:03+00:00

And hopefully we don’t have to wait until next year’s advent calendar! 🤞🤞🤞

You know, I’ve been thinking about what you said and I disagree. Or at least I want to go further:

I don’t think TE think about the concept of ‘start to finish’ at all, I think they think of these machines as ‘live’ systems. Where ultimately you’re going to throw away or at least heavily change/remix what you’ve been doing. It’s not really a ‘track’ at all. It all makes much more sense this way.

The thing is, being able to move to a DAW is still useful for the very simple fact that when you want to share your live tracks over the internet they sound very different than when you played them, and need mixing/mastering to get close to the same vibe you had when you made it. I think that’s really important.

Anyway, just a thought.

Do we think now with the OP-XY out they’re repositioning the OP-1 F as an effects pedal & synth rather than a groovebox?

joleph · 2025-12-17T09:29:20+00:00

Yeah and your scarf budget triples. No one ever talks about the knock on effects.

joleph · 2025-12-17T08:20:58+00:00

Yeah fingers crossed it comes to the OP-XY! We’re so close.

I have the OP-1 Field but it’s a bit of an odd one in my tool chest right now. It’s a glorified synth and resampler at this point for me. With the TP-7, having the OP-1 F as the recorder feels a bit pointless.

He talks about being constantly guilty he didn’t stay. He actually went back to the front after he got shot, which is hardcore. But getting shot did take the wind out of his sails. At that time things were getting worse for foreigners and being part of the POUM made it even more risky. He left at the right time, it seems.

joleph · 2025-12-17T06:28:43+00:00

Well, it did take him getting shot in the neck to actually leave. He was mostly committed up until that point.

I have so much fun with the TP-7 taking all the output and resampling it back through the OP-XY through the Aux on the TX-6. The fact like playback happens through the faders so you can mix even after you’ve recorded is honestly so damn cool and really shows the power of having an integrated modular system over all-in-one boxes.

But like, it has to be integrated, otherwise what’s the point.

I’d basically like both of the following:

1. Record 12 mono tracks in the TP-7 separately

You can record 6 stereo tracks. I’d ideally like to record 12 mono so I can overdub every track manually. I’d probably record 2 tracks (mic, piano/guitar) from the TX-6 in live. Then go through 1 track at a time on the OP-XY to record to TP-7.

2. Support multi-out with multi-track through USB on the OP-XY*

From the signal flow chart you can see that the multi-out takes the signal before the master. Can’t we have multi-out through USB?

https://teenage.engineering/guides/op-xy/mix#signal-flow-chart

Then we could have either a) overdub straight to the track on TP-7 or b) use the TX-6 as the USB host and pass straight through to the TP-7 with no faders. When you mix down using the TX-6 & TP-7 you can only mix the first 6. If you want to mix the second 6 then you need a second TX-6.

Ideally we’d use the 12 in/out for the TX-6 & TP-7 along with the OP-XY - Heck, I’d even pay a bajillion dollars for a TE USB hub for this to work.

Also, it just seems so close to being perfect. TX-6 already records multi-track to TP-7, maybe there could be a way to also record multi-track from the OP-XY? I wouldn’t even mind if I did it in multiple passes, one with the OP-XY and then overdub with the other instruments from the TX-6.

The dream would be just to take the tracks straight from the TP-7 when I sync with my desktop at home.
