Removing Google + from sequencer.de

since Google took more than a month (5 weeks) to even approve my google plus account I removed the Google+ stuff from this site. so don’t expect me to respond on G+ as long as they keep it in „approval“ status. I got back to facebook and of course my site, without „social“ links to g+. and – it’s faster… I also do not have the „die hard“ like button here, as you might have seen. it’s a bit overrated, is’it? but you are free to post a link to…

Roland’s latest..

Roland CONNECT 2011. they got a new looper called RC300, a sampling octapad (that was really a good idea, finally) and they finally got into the iPad with something called R-Mix.. and – it HAS Variaphrase in it, so it looks a bit like re-animating the VariOS on the iPad. it literally looks like some spectral tool like Metasynth and the coloured pixels and the audiofile are represented in both – the Desktop and the iPad Versions which seems sort of remote for „something“ – so since this is a…
