My new Midi Controller

Posted by Syntrus - January 21st, 2023


I was getting bored of the limitations of just using my keypad and mouse to make music, so I made a hard decision, I sold 98% of my classic video games collection to purchase the akai fire midi controller.

I think it was a great call. I have wasted so much of my life playing video games with nothing to show for it, if points in video games were some sort of crypto we'd all be rich, but since they aren't this is my passion now, music is my passion. I fucking love this thing, I mostly use it in instrument mode, and being able to pick a root note is a brilliant feature. You can hear this thing in action in my newest track bowneasy! go check it out!

Awesome. Can't wait to see what you make with this.

So is this basically like a MIDI sequencer, except in physical form?
Looks really fuckin' cool

It's called the AKAI Fire

Oh ma gaaaaaaa!

tringleye man :>>>

selling old games is not an easy thing.... got emulators? it's good to archive and maintain the best o the past eh

best wishes on midi gear... don't forget the old oem instrument sets, roland had some interesting early days, as did windows 3.1/95/98 versions of midi. sry to be so anal, been on this site too long, fucker

How were you anal? Anyways thanks for reading my post and I’ll look into the old stuff see if it has any advantages.
