Today while testing some code I had written to help lock in the GMS with external MIDI synchronization, I made a brief recording of live looping the output from the sequencer by capturing the notes in Ableton Live. Ableton was also acting as the clock source. The new feature works by initializing start times to the nearest quarter note. This way if the sequencer produces an odd number of fractional durations a simple start and stop of the GMS with the space bar will lock it back onto the quarter notes provided by the master clock. This may be a precursor to how I end up using this instrument once it is a complete package.

To celebrate the University of Minnesota Northrop Auditorium’s 80th anniversary season a concert was performed on Friday by three-hundred students from the School of Music’s Symphony Orchestra and Combined Choirs. The piece was Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Op. 125 “Choral.” The event was sold out and by the time I got tickets all the good seats were taken, so my recording suffered significantly. I was located near the front, but as far as possible to stage left. This left me in front of the ancient speaker system used to amplify the concert. There was also loud ventilation and the crowd ambiance seemed to collect in my corner of the space. Never-the-less the concert was thoroughly enjoyable, but it’s unlikely that I’ll do much listening to my ragged bootleg version. Here’s the orchestra tuning their instruments.
