Otto’s performance sounds like the tense section of a contemporary film score.

For our combined Weekend Cat Blogging and Saturday Photo Hunt on the theme of fluffy, we have some unusually fluffy and quite playful photos of Luna:

Luna is technically a short-hair cat, but in the winter her fur gets longer and thicker, and is more visible when she rolls around instead of one her more staid poses. Of course, it’s nothing like the “floof” one sees on some cats.

These photos were done with the “big camera” – the iPhone (either straight or with Hipstamatic) is too slow to capture the detail of Luna’s fur.

Weekend Cat Blogging #347 is hosted by Salome at PaulChens FoodBlog?!

The Saturday Photo Hunt is up. This week’s theme is fluffy.

The Carnival of the Cats will be up tomorrow at Friends Furever.

And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

…Almost 2 years ago I got this Mini From Craigslist Virginia, Funny thing though is that the guy that had it happened to go to the same High School I went to in the early 80’s.

He said he got it when he worked at Venamin’s Music in Springfield VA, working as a manager in the 80’s. This Mini Spent most of its life in his Basement studio and survived a fire that burned the entire house down except a closet that was in his basement where the Mini was stored in an Anvil case…

After about 24 hours of pre-NAMM adventures, I will finally begin to observe and review the actual show. We’re all set with our iPhone/iPad NAMM app:

Demo.
The Koma pedal has a gate and a very short delay.
At the end of the delay range the Koma gets in a kind of a bit-crusher sounding effect.
This is not often found at a analog pedal.
This is because Koma has modded the chip!

I ordered some knobs and switch covers for the Doepfer modules, so they will blend in with my DIY stuff better. I am working on a second case and the modules to fill it. I will try to do a start-to-finish pictorial on one the modules this coming year. We’ll see. I like to build slow and rock out to music. Taking pictures cramps my style.
