Change from nylon to cotton underpants :)

Seriously though, it could be some of your clothing, I have a shirt I wear to cycle in and the damn thing is a static nightmare.
I've got a black hoodie that crackles when I take it off. I don't wear that indoors though.

It's early doors but haven't had a shock since I put this small towel over my seat.
Sounds like progress :)

It's worked. No more shocks! Just need to get something that looks nicer. Might get a thin cushion soon.

Doesn't look fantastic but this has 100% stopped the shocks. :D

Logic Question.

Post by Cosmic Puppet »

I tried Logic running under windows xp using Virtual Box to work on my Atari compositions when I had no Atari machine.

Logic 5 supported .SON files from Notator.

The thing I miss about this was how easy it was to trim note endings on the improved matrix editor.

Problem with this is that my new keyboard doesn't have a driver for xp. Tried some generic operation and it was awful.

The JUNO-DS supports Windows 7 and upwards but not XP.

Was there a version of Logic for Windows 7 that could handle .SON files?

You have to change the color on the one that is turquoise.

EDIT: Change the RGB values on the background color that is.

Ataris on TV.

Post by Cosmic Puppet »

Just saw a program about 90s music and it had this video on it showing Ataris:



Nothing plugged into those MIDI ports though. :lol:

Had to share this song by johnblackledge.

It was done using music studio if I've understood correctly.

This particular track BOOTS sounds great through VLC's MIDI plugin so I've provided a 192Kbps audio of it. Totally cheers me up :D
