Trouble with this is that it uses AAA batteries. 2 at a time. I could go to Poundland & get a 8 pack for £2. Or I could buy 4 rechargeable batteries, plus charger, for £18...

Another day leaving me with a anger-headache. But... This arrived this morning... Swings & roundabouts, eh? #TeenyTinyGear #Sampler #Sequencer

A teeny sampler/sequencer. 25 little buttons. Next to it, for scale, is a green Bic-style lighter.

Odd day at work. Then a 5min 26sec piece of absolute pish. Meh. At least the council didn't cut down a tree planted to honour my memory.

The stump of a chopped tree. Which was planted in honour of three girls. With a plaque with their names on.

Haven't actually freed-up any space, really. Bit, what's the word? Ah yes; Pointless.

A drum machine, 13 synths, a sampler and a mixing desk.

If you put the Envelope Generator & the Control Envelope to Repeat on this wee beast, how, I have been wondering, can you get it in synch with the other synths? Answer: You can't. Do you have to? No. Just let it run free doing it's own thing.

Black synth. No keyboard. 28 yellow knobs. Yellow lines. WASP in yellow. Wasps in yellow.

Sweet as! Basically, use each synths LFOs to modulate things. Nice, slow, pulse/wave/etc

6 vintage analogue synths (clones). 4 are connected by many cables.

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

But...on a positive note... See the 4th knob bottom left? Well, when you de-synchronize the 2 oscillators, that knob no longer changes the pitch of osc2. It becomes a Pitch Width Modulator. Which can be patched to the LFO or anything really. Cool, huh?

Black synth. No keyboard. Black knobs with white dots. Black buttons. White writing & circuit diagram.

Just bought more patch cables. Cos, well, y'know...

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

See this? See the 2 knobs bottom left? They do NOTHING! (Unless you patch something in to them.) *shakes fist at seemingly useless knobs*

A black synth. No keyboard. 23 black knobs. 5 black switches. 33 patch ports. White lines like the map of the underground. White writing.

I have a telecaster copy & a strat copy. I didn't know what they were copies off. Just guitars. But this is the 1 I use. (The 1 on the right.)

These are both switch off & unplugged. Spot the difference.

2 MP3 recorders. 1 has icons on the screen to show that it is connected to a computer. It is not.

I have things to do. I'd rather play my new electric violin.

Light purple electric violin. On a sort of grey-ish back ground. Sort of violin-shaped, but with bits missing.

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Ok day at work, I guess. But enough of that. Let's look at the purple electric violin, that is meant to be delivered tomorrow, which is sitting on my sofa. Now. #Electric #Violin

Purple electric violin. Black neck. Against a grey-ish background.

OK day at work. But enough about that. Here's today's super-simple patch.

6 vintage analogue synths (clones)in 2 banks of 3. The uppermost 2 are connected by 3 patch cables.

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Ok-ish day at work. Here's today's, somewhat simpler, patch.

6 vintage analogue synths (clones). Modern analogue synth. 2 modern digital synths. Connected by only a few cables.

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Ok-ish day at work. But, here's today's overly complicated patch. I won't even start to explain what's going on.

9 synths. 6 vintage analogues. (Clones.) 1 modern semi analogue. 2 modern digital. Connected by quite a few patch cables. ALL the patch cables I have.

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

OK day at work. I've been nominated for something or other. Here's today's not-overly-complicated-patch.

Three vintage, analogue synths. (Clones) Connected by so very many cables.

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Today's Patch of the Day. Was going to explain it. Can't be bothered.

Synths. 2 of which are connected by a multitude of different coloured patch cables.

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I could spend my time writing a 256-step sequence on this wee beast. I could.

A tiny synth. Korg Volca FM. Black body. 2 and a bit octave keyboard. Grey & black knobs. Blue (green?) buttons. 2 red buttons. 2 sliders.

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

*sigh* Lets strip & rebuild this fucking thing then.

Tiny sampler. Mostly grey. White buttons. Red buttons. Black and grey knobs.

But...fucking about moving electricity, be it via MIDI or by patching, from 1 synth to another is SOOOO exciting! I mean..LOOK!

Sudden. Violent. God's true voice. Fractured. The guilt. The guilt. The fucking guilt. It never really ends, does it? Disclocate. From that silence came. This too shall pass. Dislocate. The new album by Hilliat Fields. Out soon...
