Zandar has 70 years worth of Saga to develop this reflex. Or she might already have it; there just hasn't been an opportunity to show it yet.

Again with the thought balloons. This seems so unnatural to me now, to relay story information this way.
How about Zandar's stylish pantsuit though? Nifty, eh?

Since everybody loved the Talker so much, this one is bound to get an even more underwhelming response. Oh well, I made it so I'm going to post it.
This was done quite a bit earlier .. maybe even last year, I don't recall exactly when. I was slowly aggregating material for an album before I hit on the idea of posting singles on Patreon.
Equipment was a Korg Monotribe for the drums and the "talking" ee-aah filter sound. The spacey theremin-like lead collapsing into disto...

A new month begins! Time to start coming up with new Doodle requests! Put them as comments on this post for maximum convenience.
I've noticed that every time I post something to these upper tiers, that post will quickly be followed by a couple of new pledges. I still don't have Charge Up Front, so I will have to start more aggressively vetting new patrons to make sure they are real. If I send you a message asking if you are a living being, I strongly encourage you to re...

If you were watching, you saw my payment drop from $530 to $222 overnight on October 1st. I totally expected this because I'm starting to get a feel for who's a real patron (their awesomeness radiates through the screen) and who's a plunder-bot.
I just now scoured through my patrons list and manually ejected everyone who was labeled "fraud" .. because for some weird-assed reason Patreon does not do this automatically. These fake pledges were sitting there, filling up my tiers and g...

Uh-oh Zandar! How does it feel to be on the receiving end of The Wiles?

Lounge version of the old folk song. All instruments are real except the organ .. and, well, it's half legit since I had a Hammond-Suzuki XB2 tonewheel organ emulator.
Informative edit: The XB2's processor went kaput two (or was it three) years ago. I wanted to get a HX "Hoax" organ .. the company even sold a kit you could install in the carcass of a dead XB2, since the lifespan of its synth chip was known .. the HX engine is stunning, as close as you can get to a ...

I could have sworn the drawings on this page were more explicit. I must have misremembered. Anyway, it's still hard to look at - and I think I managed to make everyone hate Thunderhoof even more than they hated Zandar.

Well, I finished all of the soldering and put the knobs on.

But when I went to test it, eight of the pots were bad. HUH? That's an unusually high failure rate. I didn't test them beforehand because, what can go wrong with a brand new potentiometer? I pulled 8 more out of the bag, and checked them, and all test OK. Hard to believe I had 8 duds out of the 20 I installed. &n...

I recorded this last year but didn't export it from the Portastudio until now. Your ears are the first ones (other than mine) to endure it!!
The sounds are being generated by a circuit-bent Coleco Talking Teacher. I'd like to say I bent it myself, but I did not. It would have required me finding a pristine Talking Teacher and then having the patience to open it up and mess with it, and install switches at the right spots. Nope .. I got mine already bent (surprisingly ch...

Harsh and uncomfortable. Bear with the story for a few pages while it gets squirmy.

Okay, here's my latest and most successful experiment with the slowly growing modular system. With last month's Patreon money I got a Mutable Instruments "Grids" module which I have used to trigger the envelopes on a Pittsburgh SV-1 Lifeform, an Arturia Microbrute, and a Soundmachines Nanosynth, thus producing the 3-part rhythm track "live" in one go. All three sound sources were blended through my homemade gelato-can mixer. Other sounds were made with the Microbrute and the Li...

System says I have 13 patrons in this tier, but I have only received 4 Doodle requests. What are the other nine of you waiting for??? There's only one week left in this month, so if you want a Doodle drawn you'd best ask for one SOON.
This month everyone can think of their first Doodle as a "freebie" and your $10 (collected Oct. 1) will pay for the next one, which I'll draw in October. I'm expecting a lot of Halloween-based silliness!
I won't be giving ...

Based again on a schematic from Handmade Electronic Music by Nicolas Collins. When this is done I'll be able to mix five inputs independently to four outputs (four ins & three outs with mini jacks, basically because I didn't have space in the case to do all of them). What is the point of this? Well, I'll be able to control the amount of each signal being sent to .. let's say .. two main outputs for stereo recording, and two effects .. or one effect and an external monitor. ...

Just a transitional panel, but you may be interested to know that I had established a rule in this cartoon world which states:
