@robertprice.bsky.social Ah nice, yes I’m sure it will come!
@robertprice.bsky.social Did you get the optional ROM module? I love the tactile kachunk of the toggles (I’ve got the WBW front panel and can’t stop fiddling with the switches!) but I dunno if I’m ultra-hardcore enough to run a “pure” Orton 3C! I can imagine it’s pretty meditative either way though.
@robertprice.bsky.social Very cool! The 3C is pretty hardcore! Are you building the full enclosure setup?
@fuzzweed.co.uk 💪🏅

@fuzzweed.co.uk Yeah I’m sure I read somewhere that if it’s velocity zero it can (should?) be treated as an immediate note off?
@fuzzweed.co.uk If it’s any consolation I’ve definitely run into that before! Sounds like something that would be good to handle anyway?
@fuzzweed.co.uk Woaft.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Especially upsetting because I did remove the batteries! There must have been some leakage I didn’t spot. It had only crept as far as the solder joint so I think the actual board is perfectly fine. Fixed now; hopefully it keeps going a while longer!
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Phew, I think we’ve saved it. I’m looking forward to enjoying Barry’s tunes! In the meantime we’ve got auld Dario G to keep us going. 😅

@jimblimey.com This is the way. 🫡 🍻
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Yeah the dev explained a bit about the decision not to on the SC forum, he was keen to focus on 48k-only. The good news is he’s already planning a 128K shmup using screen paging multicolour, and AY music too.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Pure 48k as well, no RAM paging or shadow screen. And it’s good fun!
@fuzzweed.co.uk What an honour! 🙏 ✨
It’s a very very cool project 😁🤘
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Jet Set f*****g Willy has a lot to answer for! 😆
But yeah while the “lol so random” stuff is fun, it’s great to see a singular focused idea come to fruition. Joefish has been working on this for a long time.
@sloanysoft.itch.io No way! Wow. Can confirm it made it as at least as far as Andrew Stewart Halls in my days. 😆
@sloanysoft.itch.io No, no, that sounds cool. At Stirling we had Air3 Radio, and a couple of my pals did shows just like that. I remember texting in and hearing it on the actual radio! It was a hoot. I regret not getting involved (but probably for the best as I’d’ve likely been broadcasting .tap files to no one!)
@sloanysoft.itch.io Hahahah, that’s a belter right enough. What sort of show was it?
@colinhoad.com Maybe it’s just caffeine addiction talking but I’ve come to realise that something about the ritual of it appeals to me too. Whether it’s loose leaf, a proper pot or a builder’s brew dunky bag in a mug. It’s also 3 minutes away from staring at a computer screen too!
@colinhoad.com I always found Lapsang to be A Bit Much to be honest! But I’d be sad if it went away completely. Next time I have a smokey brew I’ll raise a cup for your granny 😁 My grandfather loved a beef tea but I have absolutely NO nostalgia for that!
@colinhoad.com My fave blend is Russian Caravan which (I learned today only some and not all) include a bit of Lapsang, and you just reminded me I’ve run out! Lately I’ve noticed Whittard’s is always “out of stock” and now I’m guessing that’s maybe not unrelated. I’ve ordered from Steenberg’s (they have L.S. too!)
@fuzzweed.co.uk It’s perfect the way it is ✨👌
