Shakedown Social

Jon HancockNow, I realise that the number of people as excited by this as I am is hovering around zero, but some crazy wonderful genius has made a set of presets available for the free Vital synthesizer program that mimic the sounds of a Lyricon-1 windsynth! Free to download and use, or make a donation to the creator.If you don't know the Lyricon then look up "Einstein a Go-Go" on YouTube, or listen to Tom Scott playing it on Steely Dan's "Peg".<a href="https://windsynth.booth.pm/items/7289606" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://windsynth.booth.pm/items/7289606</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WindSynth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WindSynth</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Lyricon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lyricon</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Synth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Synth</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MusicalInstruments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MusicalInstruments</a>You can also read this article about the instrument from 1979: <a href="https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/wind-of-change/13043" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/wind-of-change/13043</a>)

Your Cool Uncle ItzyIt's been a bit since I made a new intro, but I'm just gonna hashtag some stuff I've gotten into in that past year or so. Boosts welcome, I'm a single user instance, so I don't have a lot of reach by myself. <a href="https://mostlygood.xyz/tags/journaling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#journaling</a> <a href="https://mostlygood.xyz/tags/stationary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#stationary</a> <a href="https://mostlygood.xyz/tags/synthesizers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#synthesizers</a> <a href="https://mostlygood.xyz/tags/windsynth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#windsynth</a> <a href="https://mostlygood.xyz/tags/rugby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rugby</a>

Jon HancockAfter a lot of searching I discovered that someone has indeed created a software synth that appears to make the same kinds of sound available to the original 1970s Lyricon electronic wind instrument. Very exciting! and a remarkably reasonable price. <a href="https://www.davidsonaudioandmultimedia.com/products/lyrihorn-1" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.davidsonaudioandmultimedia.com/products/lyrihorn-1</a>Brilliant, looks to be just what I was hoping to find. Designer had a great reputation and seems to be very highly regarded in the (somewhat niche) world of wind synths.Except… You can buy it, but it won't work. The designer set up his software downloads to require a separately (manually) issued code, tied to your computer, to work… and he appears to have been failing to issue them for any of his products, or respond to emails and calls, for about a year. A lot of unhappy and very disappointed people out there.So… bum. Heavy sigh.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Lyricon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lyricon</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WindSynth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WindSynth</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ElectronicWindInstruments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElectronicWindInstruments</a>
