“In the words of Martin Luther King, I've just gotta' go for it!”
"I think that chimp used to drive himself on You-know-what and The Bear."
What’s that animal? The one that crosses so slowly across the road and you swerve to make sure you hit it & then a car comin’ the other way swerves to avoid you and goes off a cliff? And then that night you and your companion have the greatest sex of your lives because you’re both sharing a secret?
One of these briefcases is filled with a million dollars' worth of solid gold. Let's play Gold Case!... ”That one!”
Lovecraft gets political
Just ran across this today:
"As for the Republicans — how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical 'American heritage'...) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead."

I got an email this evening from KV331 Audio:
SynthMaster 3 Player iOS is a stripped down version of SynthMaster 3 tailored towards users who prefer tweaking existing presets over designing sounds from scratch. It is a free app on the AppStore that ships with 200 presets. Once the user completes registration, the number of free presets increases to 500. Our registered users can register with their KV331 Audio accounts and download their existing desktop preset banks / past in app purchases on to their iOS devices (Desktop preset bank downloads require "Unlock Desktop Features and Content" in app purchase for users who don't have a license for our Everything Bundle or SynthMaster 3 or SynthMaster 3 Player products)
More than a ROMpler
SynthMaster 3 Player iOS is identical to SynthMaster 3 except the limited editing features: While layer modules and modulation sources are not accesible, all other layer sections such as layer voicing, unison, keyboard zones, velocity zones, arpeggiator, sequencer and insert FX can be edited by the user.
Multi-Layered Architecture
Each SynthMaster 3 Player iOS instance can have up to 16 layers. Users can add new layers by loading existing presets into layers through the preset browser:
