...a few more hours says I want to not go to bed and keep playing with the new gear, but my sleepy self says otherwise.
(warning, synth geekery.)
The ion is like the Prophet Plus. So far the architecture pleases me so. I still feel like I have to learn it, but it's a fun climb instead of a frustrating one, and I feel like I'm getting a halfway decent feel for what it can do already. I think all the people who were excited about my getting this were right on the money. Still need to delve into a bunch of stuff (like effects and LFO tweaks and what exactly the pre and post filter adjustments can do for me) but damn if this thing doesn't feel like it makes a whole bunch of sense, especially for someone so weaned on the ol' sequential circuits. Multi-function buttons that are easy to use! LED's that give useful information! Tap tempo! Two mod wheels! Rubbery 360 degree knobbiness! Big red volume knob! Graphical envelope editing that doesn't suck! A knob specifically for noise, and you can even choose the kind! I still think the analog drift parameter is kinda silly, but kind of in an endearing way.
(end of synth geekery.)
I need to record something soon, for many many reasons.
That boyfriend of mine that I haven't seen enough lately now has to work all weekend, so maybe I'll get something down soon. They're never going to get me to buy an Apple at this point. Damnit, Jobs, I want S4 to have a freaking weekend day off. I'd even blaspheme enough to request two. In a row. Sometime. Christ on a cracker.

r4c rocked out, as did S4 on the visuals. Sadly, my sleepy self went home before Hecate, but my badass bandmate still claims I get extra points for showing up after all the travel *and* with a new LED-laden temptress at home.
Ah, shit. It got all late...

The analog drift param isn't as silly as you think. In tandem with the FM controls, you can use it to make an endless stream of non-repeating sound.
I hope you get to spend some time with y'r boyfriend soon. Say hi fer me.
