I’m so proud of the talented teams who have all excelled themselves creating our latest product release.

The MPC Live 3 is a triumph, fusing next-level hardware with the most performative software system we’ve ever made.

From our initial design work, through development, test, manufacture, and all launch activities, we couldn’t have done better. It’s certainly been a rollercoaster!

Really looking forward to the music people will make with this thing.

Given all the hateful nonsense and nuanced complexity in the world right now, watching Bill Bailey play The Typewriter at the proms was a valuable moment of joy.

I'll be speaking tomorrow evening at a joint ACCU and Mindstone AI community meet-up in Cambridge, UK. Come and enjoy some great talks, pizza, and drinks at the Bradfield Centre at 18:00.

Happy Christmas one and all! Millie hand made a wooden shrimp playing keyboards. May all your festivities be musical.

1000 Wordles played. I clearly should be doing something more important!

Engine DJ stems now available! enginedj.com/stems Well done, team!

Open Mic Night at #audiodevconf Thanks to everyone who’s contributing!

#audiodevcon keynote. Everyone likes a room full of audio nerds.

Refactoring. The most boring/slow part is getting code under unit test. From there it’s downhill all the way. The test harness enables agility.

So proud of the MPC team. We’ve been making something really special, and it’s wonderful to see our users enjoying it. https://www.akaipro.com/mpc3.

We’ve just released Headrush pedalboard update 3.2. It’s immense. Three guitar synths (a synth, an electric piano, and organ), new stomp box effects, new signal paths, and more. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcY0QvIeYQQ

Returned home to find a new Korean translation of my most recent book, Becoming a Better Programmer. This translation looks fun!
