I have been listening lately to those synth laden tracks by the Weeknd. Some really good stuff, nice to hear the 80's style refreshed. I wonder who wrote and performed the synth parts for him?
I finally looked that up! Apparently a producer named Max Martin whose work goes back to (believe it or not) Britney and Backstreet. Written/co-written 24 number one songs. Recent setup includes System-8, JD-XA, Moog Prodigy, Polivoks, and JUNO-6
Silly question - are your LED's colored, or are those "button skins" or...? I'm just starting to mess with my Xm again, and have never seen any LED color other than white LOL.
Button skins! Just semi transparent removable stickers often used on maps. Makes it easier for me to see the breakdown of functions, and maybe makes it look a bit more Jupiter 😄 Medium 1/4" Removable Transparent Mark-it Brand dots - Seven Color Pack amazon.com/dp/B003M6VQNY
@@RobertSaintJohn Yeah I Googled around and found your gearspace post a couple mins ago. Thanks - great idea - I love that it's more "Jupiter" lookin'. Ordered! :)
X is down in the studio where the iMac usually is, but the Mac died 5 minutes after finishing that last X vs Xm video. So while that’s in surgery, it’s hard to do proper videos. It will return! But this with the Xm was just a lark on the living room coffee table
@@stiktougaizeur I wish I knew! I got some green lines then, bam, black screen of death. I think the fan failed and it just cooked itself. Fortunately I was really good about backups so I probably didn’t lose anything, and it was a 2020 iMac, only 8 months old, so covered under Apple Care. But it’s been an untimely punch in the gut to lose it for 2 weeks

You're back on the Xm....where is the almighty X? Nice jammin' though!
