  1. https://www.idropnews.com/news/apple-might-allow-you-to-connect-two-ipads-together-and-its-a-brilliant-idea/140299/
  2. Silly question for owners of both an older lightning iPad AND the new usb-c iPad Pro. Any way to connect them together and send audio to the other, why or why not? Does it merely attempt to sync or transfer apps and data? There should be an app for that...ðð
  3. They"ve sometimes called or emailed, but I"ve never minded much. I"ve probably called them as often. They are not the only place I shop but I have been satisfied with what they offer.
  4. I listen to a lot of Italian accordion music. They like to combine it with various traditional instruments. Examples:

  6. He"s getting ready to say something...I hope.
  7. Hopefully I can pop in for a visit. Excited to try one of these for the first time!
  8. CDs over streaming any day. Vinyl too! The best way might be to rip them to a home server or big hard drive, create playlists, and get it all nicely organized. Too much time and effort for me now. iTunes used to be a reasonably efficient way of doing this sort of thing, but they 'improved' it and now it stinks. First world problems...
  9. The Bach purist will prefer Gould or Richter perhaps. But hey, you can send free tickets my way, because they aren"t touring...
  10. I used to get together with friends for chess every week...miss those days, but music is helping fill the void. In the 90s I could run ChessBase on a Pentium I with a floppy install program...at the time it was enough. But the latest CB versions...not quite! Yours should work I guess. I was thinking of getting Netflix to watch the Queen 's Gambit chess movie. Will probably wait for ð DVD
  11. Don't worry, be happy The landlord say your rent is late He may have to litigate Don't worry, be happy ...Look at me, I"m happy ð âBobby McFerrin
  12. Should I say something? Apparently not.
  13. 3-4, sometimes 2. I like the big theater when my wife and I are the only ones there. Happened the last couple of times. I like classic films, but also a lot of obscure foreign films, animation, concert and music videos, box sets of old tv series, famous directors, comedies...
  14. Herbie Hancock has a degree in electrical engineering. Didn't know it, thanks! I picked up my 22-space dotcom at a diner in the town of Hancock, Maryland as it was midway to the eBay seller! Coincidence?
  15. I got my first synthesizers.com 22 space cabinet full of modules, used. It was two grand several years ago! So no, not for the faint of heart, but the same amount of eurorack could cost me as much. Maybe Doepfer would be less. I just want to make good music with it before the wife revolts... Markyboard's idea of augmenting the other keyboards by running signals in and out of filters is good.
  16. When I think of modular and 'traditional' musicians, I first think of Carlos, Tomita, Perrey, and the innumerable '(you name it) on the Moog' records. Sequencers or really good musical chops required, often both. Technical skills a must. Live performance rarely or never on the big Moog. Cover songs or transcriptions usual. Then I also think of jazz, rock and prog types who used it (or a Minimoog) mainly for soloing, a la Emerson, Wakeman, Hyman, Hammer, Hancock. None of them physics or engineering majors (correct me if I"m wrong of course) but musical skills in abundance, plus enough programming skills to get sounds they are after, or a studio tech to help out as needed. All very capable live performers in their day. Some covers, some originals, or both. West Coast Serge/Buchla style is still avant-garde enough to not be 'traditional' in my book. Euro is somewhere in between, closer to the avant-garde. Not typically used for cover songs, although possible. Bloops and bleeps are available in abundance. Industrial weirdness is easily done. So now that I have a big large format modular and some polys, I have decisions to make. What does the audience want? What style, what format? Covers, originals? Simple sequences obviously won"t always cut it. But plenty of other options. Synthmania is amazing these days IMO. Show me the way Paolo!
  17. Yes. That said, some of the Bond girls were a bit distracting at times...
  18. This is very hard. Mid sixties to mid seventies is probably what I would go with too if pressed to answer.
  19. Excess redundancy is my single point of failure.
  20. Elementary, my dear Watson. â Sherlock Holmes Easy for you, difficult for me.â Señor Wences (?) (subsequently quoted by Alan Hale aka 'Skipper' on Gilligan"s Island, Mel Blanc aka Speedy Gonzalez, others?)
  21. I buy my ice cream at the grocery store, and my music/discs from stores or online sellers. I am not fast enough to catch the truck. Or perhaps I scare the drivers.
  22. I've gone through phases. They seldom corresponded exactly to the year, and my age seldom corresponded to either.
