I posted them on Instagram at the weekend, but now they’re on PalmSounds, and not YouTube I’m afraid. Also, I plan to release to sound files of the Olegtron soon too, probably on SoundCloud I expect, just for simplicity.

At times wonderful, and at times totally frustrating too. That’s technology, my experience of it anyway. I do a lot of stuff with technology and I suspect I will continue to do that.
Olegtron 4060 with the module on board
It’s nice and easy to fit on the back of the Olegtron itself and works fine. Very straightforward indeed.
Inside the Olegtron 4060
I thought I’d take a quick picture of the inside of the Olegtron 4060. It’s really quite nice on the inside too.
Looks like there’s another module coming from Olegtron
Having got the first module for the Olegtron it seems that there’s more to come in the not too distant future as well. Apparently there’s a PWM module (pulse width modulation) coming as well. I’ll be keeping an eye out for that, and I’ll let you know when it’s available.
Olegtron 4060: 7 bit saw module arrives
Well I’ve been waiting for this for ages! Ok, not ages, in reality just a few days, but it feels like ages, and now I need to wait until tomorrow to try it out.
When I do, you’ll know!
Olegtron module ordered!
I posted about the new Olegtron module a little while ago, well now I’m glad to say I’ve got my module ordered thanks to a speedy response to my email from the lovely people at Olegtron. I’m really looking forward to getting it, and you can bet there’ll be pictures once it arrives!
Recho hasn’t worked for me, but why?
I had some high hopes for Recho, but as I was sort of spring cleaning apps from my iPhone the other day I noticed it and realised that I hadn’t used it in any way at all for months and month. So I had a look at the Recho web site and it’s still there and still going it seems. But every time I tried it even in London I couldn’t find very many sounds or stories or anything that had been left.
So I wondered if in fact it hadn’t been a big success in the UK? Maybe.
Is it worth giving it more of a go? I don’t know. Perhaps I should try again? Perhaps if I try it now I’ll find more stuff in London? I think it might be worth trying again, even for a few days, just to see if there’s more content and it might be fun.
There’s a new Olegtron 4060 plug in board! Who knew?
When I say new, of course I mean, there’s a plug in board. This is a first. Sadly on the Olegtron 4060 site there’s no word about how to buy one of these. Which is a shame as I’d love to get hold of one. So I’ve contacted them to find out and hopefully get hold of one for myself.
Old fashioned Cassette Recorder (biscuit tin)
I had one of these years ago. In fact, I had a number of these. But one that was very like this one. I think it was the Ferguson that was almost identical to this. It was excellent. Ok, not excellent, but really good for its time. I used it to record all sorts of things and amassed a huge cassette collection, and have very little of it left.
Even so, now I have a nice tin. I’ve decided to use it for field recording accessories. That seems like an appropriate use for it.
And I got this too
I should mention that I also got this windjammer too. I think that this is a bit of an essential too for real field recording. I feel properly set up now!
