Here's a demo of the brilliant OSPRAY-8 by Bad Dog Designs. I've had this prototype a while and have been consulting, advising and testing with BDD and having a ton of fun with this "vintage" drum synth for the 21st century! :-)

It’s that time of year for me to wheel out this old chestnut again. Dedicating it to my Ukrainian brothers and sisters this year… 🇺🇦🎄🎅🏻
I'm moving to Bluesky from Twitter
It's not 'cos I'm 'liberal' or 'bitter'
Or 'snowflake' or woke'
But because I'm a bloke
With more braincells than a sweetcorn fritter

Donald Trump has picked Project 2025 architect Russell Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget.
In Trump's first term, Vought crafted budget proposals that recommended Social Security and Medicare cuts.
Your reminder that Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
Whitehall looking like an advert for Barbour jackets today. With the rain, you can imagine the whiff coming off that lot 👃🏻😂
In other news, the merch store I started 3 weeks ago to support my YouTube channel has had a blistering start! I’m sure it will tail off into a trickle of sporadic sales soon, but I’m going to feel chuffed about it for a bit longer 😉
There’s something about @bsky.app that is reminiscent of a nascent Twitter. I had forgotten what that felt like. It also bothers me that, at some point, Bluesky might end up the same way. How do we stop that? How can we entertain a myriad diverse views in a civilised manner on such a platform? 🤔💭
Just awesome 🖤 🇳🇿
I think we need to collectively decide which platform we’re all going to coalesce around after binning off Twatter. Is it going to be Bluesky? Threads? Mastodon?
I’m favouring here as it seemingly has no connections with corporations, fascists or Space Karen’s.
It's out, it's over... merry Christmas, it's my best work. youtube.com/watch?v=6VsH... My career is over, I'll never do better. ...and my best thumbnail ever too
Apparently I’m now “Robin”?? 😂
I'm especially proud of this podcast as it gathers together not only the father of FM synthesis, Dr. John Chowning, but those that gave it a voice, namely Dave Bristow, Gary Leuenberger and Manny Fernandez.
I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed making it! :-)

Hey!
I like the fact that whenever I say the name BlueSky in my head, I get the a-Ha track in my head ;-)
