synth stuff

According to the bill-of-sales sticker on the back of my Ensoniq TS-12, it turned 21 on September 4, 2015. Of course, this fell on a holiday weekend, and naturally, my keyboard decided that celebrating was the thing to do. Yep, it got drunk.
In other words, I've had this keyboard for almost half of my life, and paid tribute to it's continued existence the only way I know how, even though it likes to blow fuses lately.

All sounds and DSP are from the Ensoniq ts-12 itself, with help from some external patches and ASR/EPS samples loaded from floppy disk. However, extensive multi-tracking was used to circumvent the keyboard's DSP and polyphony limitations.

The first track i composed and eventually finished. The loop-based piece got its name from the rainy day i composed it on.

This is a demonstration of the VST plugin PaulXStretch. Since there isn't currently any documentation available and there aren't many other demos, I hope people find this useful. 

The demo highlights some accessibility features and limitations for visually impaired users, but should be useful to everyone.

I used Reaper, but all the major hosts work.
