That's a shame, I got one recently and very happy with it. There must be a work around.

Thanks I am and I'll let you know if I get stuck with it.

Result! Picked this up at the local recycling centre. A very generous person was about to put it in the bin and I said, you aren’t going to chuck that in there are you? They said that they had no use for it and it didn’t work, so I took it off their hands as a doer-upper. What should I do with it?

Just posted an overview of Unstable Memory — a glitchy, reactive browser instrument. Part databent interface, part hauntological sound tool. Built in p5.js + Web Audio, still mutating.

The Hum called us to walk under its lines, to listen to its songs. The Hum called us to become part of the electric ley of the land. It opened up the way into another England and when it stopped, not all of us made it back. – Tattoo Labyrinth Dave, ex Pylon Person

Even those stones and portal tombs egregiously described as 'minor' have the lithic gravity to pull visitors from the orbits of their lives and into cowshit-carpetted fields. The Long Neolthic's power to transform folk in stone pilgrims is mighty. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Great, I'll let you know when I've got a playable prototype to test.

Thanks, currently it loads a maximum of two from I think 8 samples. But I am hoping to make it that samples can be loaded by the user into empty slots like an old tracker. Haven't quite figured that out yet but the idea is going to be that the interactions can be chosen by the user.

Browser-based sound/glitch experiment - loops, memory, noise. Built in p5.js & Web Audio. Still unstable. A summer project. What should it do next?”

I had this book and read cover to cover in my teens, I stupidly put it in a pile that went to the charity shop some years back and have been searching for a replacement for a number of years now.
