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.
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!👍

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
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.
