The studio seems to have stabilized, and I'm spending most of my time learning the new ins and outs. Logic Audio has proved, after a month of banging my head against it, to be worth the effort of learning, and I've got it sequencing the gear *and* recording 24bit/96khz audio! Hopefully I can knock some of the old crap off the tunes page.
The SDS-800 surgery is working *flawlessly* - I'm actually debating whether or not to open it up again to add another envelope to the basskick. You can see the generous use of CAT-5 ethernet cabling in the pics... I managed to find two panel-mount ethernet sockets in Houston, but I still need a panel-mount power connector before I'm gonna start drilling any more holes. Notice the four extra trigger-outs... these allow me to trigger the Boss PC-2 Percussion Synth and the Boss HC-2 Handclapper modules... not sure exactly what I'm going to do with the other two triggers just yet. >:)
