Originally Posted: SATURDAY, 21 JANUARY 2012   A quick update to my last post – It turned out that I didn’t actually even touch the pads after I fixed the problem and now that I try them again, they are not working again! After some experimenting I have found that the problem is in a patch …

Originally Posted:  SUNDAY, 25 DECEMBER 2011   Many thanks to Paul  at Paul’s Boutique for delivering a couple of new effects pedals I bought from him. The Electro-Harmonix 256 vocoder is awesome!! Best vocoder I have. Hopefully I’ll be using it in songs soon! The Electro-Harmonix Germanium OD pedal creates the most realistic tube amp distortion …

Originally posted:  TUESDAY, 20 DECEMBER 2011   Wow, the album is on the iTunes store already. That’s pretty fast! Still slowwwwwwwwwly working on the christmas video. I also have to figure out annotations on youtube videos to link to itunes. Why cant we invent an extra 6 hours per day???

Originally Posted: TUESDAY, 20 DECEMBER 2011 I downloaded a copy of the CD and listened to make sure the uploads went ok and everything sounded fine, so I logged in and clicked APPROVE and now they should be getting it out to the partners like iTunes, Google music etc. Now I just keep working on videos, …

Originally Posted: SUNDAY, 18 DECEMBER 2011   Ok, enough remixing. Gotta move on. I uploaded the album on saturday and it should be on cdbaby and itunes soon. The name is Mind=Blown.  

Originally Posted: TUESDAY, 13 DECEMBER 2011   I think it’s done!! I will listen through one last time but I think this is it. I finished the cover artwork, re-titled the wav and mp3 files (mp3s just for me, the wavs go to CD Baby) and I think it’s all set. I’ll give it a day …

Originally posted: Monday Nov 28 2011 Yesterday I bought a Fender Chroma Polaris from a friend. It’s a really fat, huge sounding synth! A cross between Oberheim and Moog, although the filter is Arp so obviously it mostly sounds like that. It’s basically a polyphonic Arp Odyssey. Very cool! Unfortunately it has one major flaw: …

Originally Posted: WEDNESDAY, 23 NOVEMBER 2011 Just a quick note to let you know, if you’re looking for an original Oberheim SEM module there’s one available here in Toronto in a little store downtown called Paul’s Boutique.

Originally Posted: FRIDAY, 11 NOVEMBER 2011   Thought I’d flesh out the old (new) blog a bit with some synth info and opinions. Lets start with my dream synth from the 80’s, the Oberheim OB-8! I had never even seen a real Oberheim for most of my high school life but for some reason I thought …

Well, here we are. A new Scott From Canada blog! One thing I’ve learned while trying to create this is how many “scott from canada” addresses have been taken! Who knows if people are really using them or if they are just squatting on them hoping I’ll pay big money for them some day. Not …
