alloyed

i feel like this little guy is very much a creature of cohost. I actually sent an anon ask to @idadeerz waayy back to see if she had any opinions on how i should start with it! and her own "journey" post was pretty inspiring so now i wanna make my own

I'm not sure it's an amazing tool for creating new and interesting music, but it is a very fun toy, which was my original intent. For most purposes of creative expression, using a DAW on your computer will always be faster, easier, and more repeatable, but working with hardware, and especially analog hardware is a kind of self-imposed challenge that is personally rewarding to me. I especially like using things in unintended ways, and analog circuitry is rife with those kinds of possibilities.

With the exception of the case ($600 combined iirc) and the moog mavis ($300) everything in this case cost less than $200 individually, which is kind of my cutoff point. added up, it's very expensive!!! but individually i can treat each module as a cheap little project and accumulate functionality over time.

for funsies I'm also including "purchase order" from memory. PO 0 is the first module i ever acquired.

so from very top left to bottom right:

nothing new here but if you want a convenient way to download the music i posted here

(i left out some things, i can't not self edit it turns out)

kit! for @alloyed

Describe what your OCs phone would be like, in however much detail you desire.

Kit is a phone! Only technically, they don't have a sim card slot. Underneath all the goofy updates they've done, though, they're built on top of an extremely-outdated android build (because of course :3)

so most phone things can be done on their little chest screen, except for the actual phone call part. well, mostly. sometimes they ring, like someone is calling them, but there's no way to answer, so they just write it off as a weird bug...
