On the other side of my house, I setup my outboard analog synths (midi) with an Lexicon LPx1 reverb, and a MaM Warp9 trigger affected LFO/ENV thingy.
I finally managed to get everything sync'd to tempo......with no computer or master midi router....just midi jacks IN, OUT, and THRU.

After I spent much of the day constructing (and deconstructing) cool mellow beats....I hit the stop-note...and went away for lunch.

I came back, unloaded the groceries and thought I heard something outside ----- Wasn't outside, it was inside.
It was quiet, but mysterious, and a bit (very) haunting.

Ever had a quiet sound perplex you as to it physical origin ?
Well I gave the source away in the title of my post....

Turns out, the MaM Warp9's LFO is always running (was dialed down to "slow"), and therefore it still "LFO's" the background system hiss/noise through it.....which obviously then went through the "large room" reverb of the Lexicon and through the active amp.

(I recorded it ....But how/where do I easily upload an audio file, so you might hear it ?)


 
Thank you signalflow.
I have been out-of-the-loop for a while now, here (love you guys/gals).
Can I comment why it seems strange and rather difficult to place a small-bit audio clip on the net ?
I think I know why....copyrights.
Of course I could melt it with a static image and post it on youtube and such.

Hmm, maybe it's really easy, and technology has overtaken me like a pixel fog...whilst I was tending to my sun loving plants.

(just re-read this...man, I'm a particular nerd...)
 
See that Paia mixer ?
I bought two used home-built kits....stripped them of their single 5532 's,...replaced those with dual 2134 's, and of course a better PSU (heck, a surplus epoxy brick-type +15v)....because what was in there previously made Radio Shack look gourmet. (licks lips)
Decent delicious pots also made it to the party.





 
Always hit REC!  "What's on your Mind" comes to mind.  That was one of the first projects going on when I was an apprentice tech.  They had cables going everywhere and Fred Maher would go "RECORD THAT!"  He wanted weird stuff to happen.  The "guitar" lines in that song were a mistaken gated patch that ended up being the git lines in the song.
