I don't understand what you're trying to do. What midi controller are you getting? What do you want to be able to control with it? Do you want to be able to tweak particular parameters (using knobs and faders), or patch/preset changes? Also, the Strymons need to have midi through enabled (it's in the Globals menu) so the pedals can be daisy chained.

https://spitfiretortoiseshellpickguards.wordpress.com/ This chap is amazing, and he was actively posting here for a while, with a long thread about his process and whatnot, which I found fascinating. I can't find it, sadly.

And as with De Gregorio they are made by a small company that seems to take a great deal of care in what it produces.)

[b]Schlagwerk CP404[/b] (funky rather than pretty but very very good and within budget) (they also have a model for just about every budget -- I have the CP432) If you're feeling spendier: [b]De Gregorio[/b] for some gorgeous designs and very high quality (but they're expensive) [b]Leiva[/b] for quality (but also expensive, but amazing quality for the money and some lovely designs - the Medina for example) [b]Sela[/b] (don't know much about them, but apparently quality and well made)

How much are you prepared to spend?

They always remind me of Eric Serra and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WTF42N8dAw and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6JBaTScs1E from Subway (That's a good thing!)

Rock Me Amadeus!

Did Paul Hardcastle have any more hits after N-n-n-n-n-nineteen?

Love Missile F1-11 is a fantastic piece of music.

I believe the B-side to Prime Mover was 'Hangover from Hell'?

More of a proto-postmodern re-interpretation than a cover, actually, now I think about it, but all the better for it.

How could I forget the greatest cover version ever of any song ever by anyone, ever, in the history of ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LtYaCm5njY

It was the mid 80s. I was 14 or 15 years old, spending my summers in a tiny little village in Spain, falling in love left right and centre, riding a pink Vespino, drinking gin and beer in a disco called Sexifirmio, and there were two songs always playing on the radio. One was Voyage Voyage by Desireless, if anyone remembers that (I've just dredged it from the brackish, silted riverbed of 30-year-old memories): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PDmZnG8KsM But the one that got to me was The Promise You Made by Cock Robin. It remained half-buried for years and years and in my sun-soaked, gin-fuelled memories, and I only found it again by googling a snippet of lyrics 25 years later. Plus points: Led by a bassist (Peter Kingsbery) Anna LaCazio. That voice. Strained, but controlled. Plaintive, even. The Eightiesest mullet on the guitarist I was 15 years old, man. It was 1986. I was drunk and surrounded by magic, mystery, the sun, the moon, gin, beauty, girls, a disco covered in mirrors. Sexifirmio indeed. Anyway here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pk3A_QSINI It's guff and not the sort of thing I 'like', but I could listen to it over and over, and it takes me right back to a bar, across the road from that disco, to a girl called Miracles, to the hills, to the road down to the coast, to the heady scent of rosemary in the air.

Bloody hell, this is what the car looked like after being "struck by a subvortex, which generates the highest winds, and some of which were moving at 175 mph within the parent tornado. Their Chevy Cobalt was distinguishable as a vehicle to the first responding sheriff's deputy only due to its single intact wheel, as it had been compressed into a ball of metal after the tornado tumbled it approximately half a mile".

Oh, yeah, it's for stuff on your computer, not stuff online.

I use tinypic.com to upload stuff. It works very well. You don't have to register or do anything fancy.

My fave vampire story: http://michaelkelly.artofeurope.com/blood.htm

That's Spanish mate.

I have no idea. I've never been there and don't know anything about it.

It was flooded and heavily damaged, I think.

This means nothing to me.
