Well, I went shopping for a Synthesizer.  I was having such a blast with my koassilator, that I got the GAS to get a real synthesizer.  After much research I settled on the Roland SH-201.  It is described as the perfect beginners synthesizer, but with real synth sound and programming.  My Gosh this thing is a blast.  I got it home last night, and today after playing around for a few hours this afternoon/eve came up with this little composition.  I recorded this into my microBR.  I am quite proud of how it turned out, considering I have practically zero keyboard skills, but this thing is such a blast to play and play-around with I can't help myself.  Well folks here is my new toy, its a real nice addition to my home studio.  Everything here is played on the SH-201 except drums which are microBR.  What do you think?

Ha Ha, I think I am all GASsed out for a while now!!! No more new toys until at least Christmas.  I have wanted to add real synthesizer to my home studio for a long time, I finally pulled the trigger, its time to fully release my inner PROG now!!!

Thanks Geir and Steve, its good to be back home, and good to be back in such a supportive site such as this.  I learned quite a bit today with this little composition, I programmed my own sounds from scratch and that was a real blast, creating sounds and fitting it all together, and learning about playing on a keyboard also.  Super fun,  I cant wait to use this on my next proper song!!!

How was the trip? Looks like you made it back just in time before "Bill" hit.

My laptop soundcard is crapping out, but this does sound pretty cool BB.
Do I sense some "Yes" and "King Crimson" on the horizon?

Can't wait to hear what you come up with!
It ain't pretty being easy.

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.
