The more I work with my Linnstrument 128, and the more I read the manual in depth, the more I'm convinced that the Linnstrument is the most thoroughly thought-out instrument ever designed. It's funny when I think there's something I wish it would/could do, only to either ask or spend a little more time with the manual and discover that it already does that.

The moon is shining through the window at my desk. Made a patch for the amazing surge XT and linnstrument tonight. Played around with it and pressed record. This is recorded in one take. My main focus while creating sounds is always the ability to tell a story. I think this one works well from dark to light. Classic sawtooth patch with airwindows reverb.

#linnstrument #surgext guqin practice this morning. not quite the real thing but it makes me happy. this is a bit of a classic tune "Wine Mad"
hmmm... the audio got gnarly during the conversion here. no time to fix :(
and there is no sequencer giving you 96x18 pads is there. #linnstrument is basically the area of 3 #launchpads. #korg sq64 is 4x16. lol. lmao.
(do miss my korg #kaoss dj tho, that was one mean little usb-powered #mixer with soundcard (!) and plenty knobs to twiddle. kinda like a postmodern hurdygurdy, gotta get me one again before they stop)
using this and 2-3x 3.5mm<->2xRCA wires instead of bluetooth pairing does magic things like non-disruptively let 2nd person play a song or two :D

The "Metalliche" patch from the upcoming Deluge Community Preset Contest Pack played with a Linnstrument. It really felt like playing a slide guitar or guzheng! The expressiveness of the Linn controls breathes life into the synthesized sound.
Just got my bumpy Linnstrument surface from Sound Workshop, installed it on my 128 without breaking anything, followed Roger Linn's instructions to get everything tensioned just right and my oh my this just changes everything. It plays SO BEAUTIFULLY. The black version looks sexy, but for $85, this update is killer bang for the buck. Can't wait to play with this for a few zillion hours.
I had the privilege to have a great talk with Sudara from JUCE. He wrote down our conversation if you're interested in reading it:
