Moving to @dequalsrxt (if all goes well)
@signalinfusion Me too. I've been able to diversify my collection quite nicely just digging around, going down rabbit holes.
@oin I haven't. I don't pay too much attention to new synth stuff coming out anymore, there's just too much.
@signalinfusion Setting aside whatever else is going on at Bandcamp, the lack of algorithmic recommendations is my favorite (non)feature of the site.
@oin I never played with one, but the demo from NAMM when it came it out is pretty funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noOXZvgyGSo

@oin Maybe the Timbre Wolf needs its own Phuture to make some Wolf Tracks or some shit to become a future classic?

Akai Timbre Wolf | Vintage Synth Explorer

The Akai Timbre Wolf is a four-voice, D.C.O, analog synthesizer notorious for its head-scratching voice architecture, eyebrow-raising sequencing capabilities and the jaw dropping lack of response one finds when tweaking it's deceptively generous collection of front panel knobs. However, in a classic case of "the whole being greater than the parts," the Timbre Wolf's smooth DCO oscillators and off-beat functionality, in an increasingly conformist synthesizer market, have caused many to change their minds about this oddly-charming device.

@oin Yeah I dunno, there's so much stuff being produced nowadays it's hard to tell what will stand the test of time. I suppose it depends how serviceable it is and how robust the manufacturing is.
Work conditions, strike in the sky.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the Skylab "strike." Astronauts protested micromanagement, employer spying, & long hours. They demanded a day off, regular breaks, and greater workplace autonomy. Radios off, they floated around, enjoying space, and taking photos of Earth. NASA gave in to their demands after one day.

Edit:
"Strike or no strike, the tensions between the crew and ground control were real. A crisis meeting between the two parties was called on 30 December." -BBC
The TC-404 - I imagine it would have been like Roland's answer to the Korg Mono-Poly. I wonder if they would have included a 303/202 style sequencer... which would have been frustrating and awesome.
Huh, apparently the development team at Roland had planned on making a chord machine after the MC-202, but gave up on it due to the 303's commercial failure, from this article towards the end - https://articles.roland.com/tadao-kikumoto-exclusive-conversation/
