Happy #404day ! The Roland TS-404 Multitrax is still one of my favourite ads and my go-to 4-track sequencer when I'm writing a hit track.

Does anyone else where crocs? I'm thinking of making a TB-303 croc charm. Kinda like this keychain, but smaller. I'll probably have to give up some detail.

[Retro Synth Ads @RetroSynthAds]

I designed a few Roland TB-303 keychains to give away as gifts to a few friends for xmas. I even designed the bottoms with battery lid, screw holes and legs. :D

Scanning achievement reached - 1000 issues!

I've still got a hundred issues or so in my scan pile to do, most of 'em thick ones (150-300 page issues each), but let's enjoy the milestones as they shoot - er, crawl past... 😝😊

I've become so anti-social that I measure lengths of time between social media logins by scrolling down @mu_zines profile and catching up on liking their tweets.

Oh. Here's some of my old Sequential/C64 photos I found on my phone.

Next up, back to the late 70s for Sound International - the second part of Vangelis' Nemo Studios feature, interviews with Mike Oldfield & Frank Zappa, the history of ARP, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and reviews on such oddball gear like the EMS Polysynthi. Should be fun!👍

[Retro Synth Ads @RetroSynthAds]

Large old mixers make me happy.

If you don't follow @mu_zines you should be.

Okay. Going back in my hole now.

@KorgUK The back page scan has the date at the bottom.

[Retro Synth Ads @RetroSynthAds]

@KorgUK 1984. It's one of my scans from my blog.

ABL3 3.3.1 Update released:
-Improved VCO model, now with a supernatural analog emulation. This simulates micro movements in the 303 oscillator, more audible on the square wave.
- MTS-ESP micro tuning supported

[Retro Synth Ads @RetroSynthAds]

@mu_zines Omg. That's awesome. And I sooooo want Tom's hair.

[Retro Synth Ads @RetroSynthAds]

How did I not know there was a 1984 Thompson Twins adventure game for the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum that came on flexi disc. Found and bought. But couldn't wait - so powered up the emulator. I still want Tom Bailey's hair.

[Retro Synth Ads @RetroSynthAds]

And yes. It appears THERE IS NO MUSIC --- ON A THOMPSON TWINS GAME?!?!? Maybe its my emulator.
