Sorry for the lack of updates… It was a hectic last few months!
Anyway, as you can see, I have updated the theme of this website to a new one! “i7″ by Inanis.net
The theme is by the same gentleman who made the previous theme on this site!
I really like it! What do you think?
Check back soon for some new-ish recordings to be posted here, as well as some new sub-content.
It’s been pretty busy for me lately, with the MIDI Music Adventure Show! and work, I havn’t had much time to post much new stuff here. But don’t worry! I am slowly but surely working on some new Synth-Studio content. So check back from time to time!
Oh, here are some new-ish recordings for your listening pleasure!

Check out my other website and new online radio show MIDI Music Adventures! I just did my first show last night.
I’ve been spending a lot of time working on the website for my upcoming online radio show: The MIDI Music Adventure Show!
Once I’m happy with the site, I’m gonna start putting together some promo bits and intros and beds and stuff for it. Then I have to decide when I want to actually do the show!
Anyway, check out the site for my upcoming online Radio show: The MIDI Music Adventure Show!
If Harry Potter was a DOS Adventure Game, I imagine it would sound something like this. The original FM sequence was composed by my friend Andre. We remixed it into an orchestral piece the other day, and gave it the Roland XV-5080 / Fantom XR / SRX Expansion Board treatment. We had a blast making this remix!
The original FM version is queued first, in the player below. The remix will play after. Enjoy!

What have I been up to the past week?
- I’ve been playing Dragon Age Origins for the past few days. It’s a pretty fun game. I’ve played through it once as a Dwarf Noble Warrior, now I’m going again as a Dalish Elf Warrior.
- I’ve been playing on my Counter-Strike: Source server and trying out a bunch of different server-side mods. I found one mod I really like and went so far as to code my own small addon for it, but currently have the mod disabled because some of the regular players were crying like babies about it. I suppose any mod that forces people to actually have to both think about tactics and react quickly, or die, is just too much to ask.
- We started raiding 25 player instances in my WoW guild again last week. It’s going alright I suppose, though not much has changed. I find myself losing interest, which is probably a good thing..? I’d like to kill Arthas and be done with it, but we’ll see what happens…
- I ordered some new hard drives and a new CPU for my main PC! Hopefully it is here by the middle of the week. More on this when it arrives…
That’s all for now…
Happy new year!
I’ve been busy enjoying the holidays with family and friends. I expect to update more regularly again soon. I got some cool new gadgets to photograph and post up on the site.
That’s all for now, until then…

I’ve been laying down track after track on my Christmas MIDI album for 2009…
I made one back in 2004 that the family seemed to really like, that was using only my Roland SC-8850. This time around I am using mostly my XV-5080 and Fantom XR, with some D-550 and other synth’s thrown in the mix for some tracks as well. It is shaping up nicely so far. At the time of this writing, I have 12 tracks completed.
Here is one track to give you a taste of what’s coming: Now Rock, Ye Rested Gentlemen, a ‘big band’ take on God Rest, Ye Merry Gentlemen.
This song was re-mixed and recorded using my Roland XV-5080 and Fantom XR with multiple SRX Expansion boards each. Enjoy!

Borderlands, WoW Raids, Job Hunting, and the holidays have put a damper on my previously frequent updates. I’m still here though, and plan on having some cool new stuff for the upcoming holidays. So check back here soon! 
Moving along, Borderlands is pretty good, despite it’s many flaws, and the co-op play is awesome. It reminds me of co-op Quake in a way. The annual New Years Eve LAN Party I have with my friends ought to be great this year with Borderlands and Left 4 Dead 2 (which I should have by then). Now that I’m thinking about it, I think I want to repackage my modded builds of Quake, Doom, and Duke Nukem 3D too… We’ll see.

I’ve been doing some back-end changes to the site lately, mostly in the spam removal area. I use the Akismet plugin which catches pretty much everything, and now I also let the spam folder build up a week or two, check for IP’s that tried to post spam more than once, and ban them from accessing the site at all. I will have to add a new HTTP 403 error page with email address or something just in case a legitimate person gets blocked. Though I might do better to just clear the ban list every few months.
I also removed the glossary plugin, it was causing some php warnings and I don’t feel like trying to correct it. I might go back to the idea when a newer suitable plugin is developed.
What else? I am also still working on some new audio material to post and I’ve started work an a Roland Sound Canvas page, I’m just waiting to arrange all my SC’s on a nice table and take some neat pictures first. I suppose I should also take some photos of the inside of my XV-5080 with RAM and it’s new expansion board and my Fantom XR also.
