At some point, the time may come when you can't go any further on your own anymore. In other words: I need help. Admitting that isn't easy sometimes. But why go the hard way alone?
A sketch i did of a CMI Fairlight, this is almost a couple years old-- i've been sitting on it for quite a while.
maybe i'll just post my work here instead of my main blog because i just feel so nervous posting anything after being so dormant for years.
buuuuuuuuuut i've gotta get the ball rolling, so !

I've binge-watched trollstopia instead of studying for my exams.... Which lead me to draw Synth instead of studying for my exams ! :D (no. I don't regret it.)
He's now my baby. My beautiful, stupid and glowy baby. There is no thought behind his eyes, and I love him for that ❤️
Process
My new portable synth rig! I can shut the lid, zip it up, and carry it wherever
I’m rockin’ a dual-USB power bank under a white “brand-less” Bluetooth speaker (one of those you get at corporate events with some random company’s name) powering the LED lights and the Retrokits RK-005 (now discontinued 🪦).
I’d like to get a similarly sized power bank, ~ 2.5” x 5” with such a slim and light profile, but have 3 USB type A ports instead of 2. I’d like to power my synth, the Roland Boutique JX-08, in case its 4 AA batteries ever die. The JX-08 is USB-C and RK is micro-USB. Hmmm. If not, I can just unplug the lights or use my AA battery-powered LED strip used for bicycles. Lights add a very fun component, especially lights triggered by sound!
If I’d go out in public, I’d swap that speaker with my JBL pill. As you can see, RED is my FAV color. ❤️ I also have a cable with a male aux to female 1/4” so I could plug in a guitar cable to connect to a louder amp.
The RK-005 syncs the master tempo of my Roland JX-08 boutique synth to the P0k3T0 splitter that sends to the Arcade and K.O! Pocket Operators.
More about the PO splitter:

Peep the LA-based hardware builder! Their projects are incredible. Must have accessories for a Pocket Operator IMHO.
I’m able to mix the audio of all three instruments passively via the Little Bear mixer (find on Amazon). It does just fine being a low-profile passive mixer! The fewer batteries, the better IMHO. Thanks to the P0k3T0, I can independently mix each Pocket Operator too.
Lastly, the cool coiled AUX cables are called Candycords from an amazing (seriously) company called myVolts. Must-see website for power, cables, and so much more. They also keep a great Instagram profile…
More to come! Here’s a jam if you’re wondering how it sounds :)
//Kind of obsessed with the way Replicant's eyes glow and have now decided that synths in my verse have glowing eyes.
