Before I met you guys, I was soooo ungeeklike. I mean, all I wanted to do
was show up at an unplugged gig and plug in guitar DI to a PA that someone
else had set up. I would look at the rack of gear and the mass of cabling
and think "man, I'm glad I don't have to deal with that crap". I would turn
on a computer and not **** with it. If it was acting wierd , I would send it
to Dell or Apple.
Well.....last night, my 220v GC-8, which is a proprietary remote control for
at 220v Roland R-880, died. Well, I hooked up another one that I had bought
on EBay for just such an occasion and it and I don't even want to go into
the insanity that happened next, but I ended up stiing down with the 2"
thick manual and reprogramming a buch of stuff on the damn thing and now it
works. I know, I know..that's what 2" thick manuals are for...right? It's
just so out of character for me. I used to be soooo right brained. My head
didn't even explode when I sat down and did this, though I did spend a few
anxious moments when I resigned myself to the RTFM last night and sat up
until about 3:00 AM getting my head around military Rolandspeak.
Jeeezzzz.......after dealing with the cryptic reduncdancy of this manual, I
could probaly get a job as an artilleryman in the Royal Marines. In a former
life, I would have jumped up and down on it until it was in pieces and then
thrown it out the window and gone for a jog or something..........(sigh)
I mean, this is only a brief example of the stuff I find myself doing on a
regular basis nowadays. I no longer bear any resemblance at all to my former
self or just about any "normal" person I know.
OK...rant off......

DJ,
I have a little edirol/roland controller. As far as I can tell roland products
are designed and produced by robots, with the target consumer being a computer.
I have burned in my brain a sequence that goes something like this:
1-1/2-1/3-1/4-1/2-9
That roughly describes the button sequence required to reload the factory
defaults.
Working with these things is like directly writing machine code without the
benefit of an assembler. For those of you with human brains, think of any
typical task and how roland would approach it. If you need to sweep the
kitchen, first gather the raw materials and tools required to construct the
sweeping device, then melt the polymer resin, pour it into a mold, let it
cool and retrieve the newly formed dustpan.

Many of us started out like you, DJ. It is sort of addictive. The more
you know, the more you want to know.
Truthfully, I think my indulgence in technology has hurt my playing by
occupying the time I would have spent playing and practicing. My
recordings sound better but I have to punch more than I would like.
Don't even get me started on this newsgoroup...

the newsgroup is like that, Bill.
I had to give up the "read every post" habit I had for 5 or 6 years. I still
check in every once and awhile and utter a few wisecracks and then melt away
again...
