This is the real Sanxion7. Really.

I went and saw it. Quite an amazing movie, it was. But the people behind me kept ruining it. Only because they kept saying what everyone in the movie was going to before they did. I wanted to turn around and perforate the guy’s face with a rusty nail. But alas, there was no rusty nail to be found. So I had to tolerate it. Don’t you hate people that ruin a movie’s atmosphere like that?

Also, side project!

I used to use ZZT all the time, playing other people’s games and stuff. Lately I’ve been inspired to create a nifty editor for it. It’s probably the first well-executed mouse-driven editor for it, despite the game having been out… oh, about 16 years now.

Some people have inquired about the setup I use to do my music. It’s nothing special, really. You can be very minimalistic and still churn out a decent track.

I use Image-Line’s FL Studio as the main sequencer. There are a few generators that are handy within the program itself, such as 3xOsc, TS404 and Wasp. The others are decent, but cheesy in my opinion. Basics aside, I also use reFX Vanguard. It’s a brilliantly designed synth. I like using it because it can deliver arps and leads with that trancey sound. There’s also another VSTi that I use commonly called Edirol Orchestral. That one delivers a lot of the piano and string sounds I’ve been using the last year or so. I also like to use rgc:audio z3ta+. While it is quite CPU hungry, it delivers crisp, driving leads well worth the cost. My first use of it was heard in EternuS. I also have Essential Club Sounds sample discs. These are excellent for sound effects, short stab synths and percussion.

For hardware, there’s only two things I own. The Roland MC-307 groovebox and the Behringer XENYX802 mixer. More may come later, but I haven’t decided whether or not to pursue a live-play career. Right now the only live-play I do consists solely of the use of MC-307 and it’s for personal entertainment. Though the live version of Gargoyle turned out very nicely.

Speaking of live play, I’ve added more songs to the MC-307. Which songs? That’s a secret I plan on doing a 1-hour special or something similar, redoing some of the songs I’ve done in the past. Suggestions are more than welcome.

It’s true. I’ve been playing since March 2005. Why? I’ve got friends that play it. That makes the game that much more enjoyable. You can’t enjoy a multiplayer game very long if you don’t play with anyone you know, in my opinion. Right now I mostly play my rogue, Blazewrath. I went to the armory to check my character, and it seems I am the only person that has a character named Blazewrath. It’s so awesome.

So bug me sometime, or something. Also, a shout out to the people I played with on Alexstrasza. Though we are still in the same battlegroup so I may see you again sometime

…it works. More to come when I have the time.
