hmm, thinking about this list has just reminded me of how many of my 2009 projects are really just my projects from the past several years that I haven’t gotten around to.
Music projects:
-MB6582
-MBFM
-MB808
-TP9090
-X0XB0X (+1 for a friend)
-New audio interface
-New PC
-Transformer saturation processor
-Monitor speakers
-Get some old second hand effects units
-Edrum + trigger pads
-SDS3 module
-Fix my Viscount OB-12
-Build a full GM5, with additional MIDI merge inputs
-Buy a ‘virtual orchestra’ type soft synth I’m happy with
-Think about a MonoWave(X) and some MB controllers for 2010
-Spend time actually playing/writing music (I want to really finish at least one track)
Work
-Starting an R&D dev team with a couple of mates
-C++ programming/embedded systems development
-Perhaps revisit some of the engineering topics I brushed over in uni
-Try to earn enough money to actually pay for my mortgage
Other hobbies
-Develop my automobile mechanics (I do a little more each year)
-Purchase a cheap hobby car to modify and play with
-Continue learning about Linux based operating systems
Nurture my relationship with my wife (this is one of the few things I am actually satisfied with in my life)
Keep an eye out for any new and interesting opportunities
Complete all my partly done MIDIbox projects: 2 sequencers, MB-CV, MB-FM, simple stereo 6581 MB-SID.
Build a second x0xb0x.
Put shorter ribbon flex cables in my MB-6582 so I can put the damn case together!
Finish mods to the first Korg DW-6000, and steal the filter board from the second DW-6000 and get it working with MB-SID.
Complete repairs to CS40M.
Music stuff:
Finish my tech-house-ish album that has been several years in the works. Convert my live set to be less laptop-based and more based on standalone, tweakable tone generators and sequencers.
Life stuff:
Seriously re-evaluate my lame-ass daytime career. Make my wife happier.
Really nerdy stuff:
Lay foundation to a MIDIbox builders/users convention.
