Hard Work, Persistence and Passion . . . .
… will only get you so far ….
So having established how useful I believe the "Touch Portal" app will be in my personal music workflow I decided I wanted to have a dedicated "client" positioned alongside my Control Surface to take over duties (for the most part) from my phone. Credit to the developers they have bean able to maintain compatibility with... Continue Reading →
Perhaps my biggest achievement to date - I have invented a cool new Smiley Face! (at least until someone tells me I haven't \\;-)) Update:Also home of the official Dr Who Smiley Face (Matt Smith Era) #DrWho #MattSmith\\:-)X
I hadn't anticipated that this would be quite so easy to use so thought I would do this second post just to show this functionality in FL Studio as it stands now. Essentially it is the same as with the supported DAWs and might just be the stand out feature of the UF8! I can... Continue Reading →
While playing with this controller (see previous post) one of the things I noticed was that it has a separate midi mode "stand alone mode". I wondered if this would work with FL studio and while nowhere near as complete as the Pro Tools implementation for which it was made, it does have enough functionality... Continue Reading →

I have my MC101 connected to my PC using a USB Cable with the audio out connected via my Audio Interface (Scarlett Focusrite in my case) The whole process is deceptively simple: Midi Setup for my MC101 (Port Number is not important as long as it is the same for input and output) Step 1...

Now 25 years old an enterprising developer has been recreating the UI and functionality of this classic O/S as a runnable App.Its an on-going project but has reached a level of maturity that makes it worth a look for anyone curious to try it! Go on - give it a go, you know you want... Continue Reading →
So at some point after my Father retired he told me a story about when he was on one of his holidays with my Mum and the guide made reference to recounting early childhood memories (detail below) - this got my Dad thinking and when he returned he decided to recount his own - this...
