Today I put my Patreon site into action. I routinely make things for musicians, typically on my YouTube channel, but sometimes digital artifacts as well. Now I have a place to easily vend these, much like my music on Bandcamp. I feel like right now my focus on UVI Falcon …
Learn this foolproof way to make full stop on multiple Elektron boxes work. I use it for a Digitakt II + Digitone II setup in my studio.
I’m a recent migrant to the Elektron ecosystem — my Digitakt II and Digitone II have inspired me to make music since I got them. While they don’t replace my DAW or other hardware, they’re a great addition. I love that they can be self-contained, using either unit or both …

Someone asked me a few weeks ago whether I knew how to change the default font size in GNOME 3 on Fedora. I have all my boxes on Fedora 17 since before the release, with GNOME 3.4. I had to admit that I’d never looked for how to change the …
