      That joke would've worked except mescaline is natural - not synthetic - It is usually harvested from cacti like peyote and san pedro IIRC. Well, I guess if we were splitting hairs it would be considered SEMI-synthetic... but y'know, just felt like it was *my* turn to be "that guy" for once lol

    Serious question... is it really frustrating to work with an instrument that is so unpredictable and you can't just get right to what you want? Or do you just have to deal with surrendering yourself over to trial and error until something sounds good? The latter is usually difficult for me anyway.

      It makes you press record every time, because next time you turn it on it may not behave quite the same.
      The unpredictability is a strength, and a weakness. Mostly a strength IMHO.

    I love your videos without reservation. I barely ever laugh out loud watching youtube videos and by the end of this video my face hurt from smiling and giggling like a child. If I could subscribe more than once, I woulda just done that. :)

    Where's Andrew? I visited his channel to check out if I missed his new videos but he hadn't uploaded for two weeks. Hope he's ok!
