Apparently the challenge of designing a new instrument patch every day is alluring to other folks!
Ghostly has just started his blog, Alesis Micron - Patch A Day, creating a new patch for his damn sexy Alesis Micron, every single day. And Hydlide has also started his own series of articles called "Propellerhead Reason 4 - A Patch a Day" on his website The Sound of Reason. Check out his progress so far by visiting him here.
If I can offer any unsolicited advice, its this: not every patch will work, so don't be afraid to fail or put up a stinker from time to time. Just own up to it when the patches don't quite come out the way you wanted and try to enjoy the process. It can be a little maddening, but also a lot of fun.
Thanks, guys, for helping to prove this idea has some merit! Good luck to you both and I hope both of your attempts at this crazy process is rewarding!

Cheers for the post ;)
Mainly I must admit I got the initial idea when I stumbled on your website.
I personally liked the idea behind it. However, personally I can't really keep up the pace atm since I am going nuts on the amount of videos I am creating about reason (call it a video a day ;))
Still, I apreciate the mention. I love your work (even though I don't always comment on it).
But still you desirve a lot of respect.

Hey, thanks for the kind words, Hydlide. I appreciate that. It can be pretty difficult doing a new patch every day, isn't it? My record this month is proof enough of that. I think I've missed more days this February than I've missed since starting the blog, but it's an interesting challenge, and I've learned a lot doing it.
Looking forward to more of what you put up! Take care!
Hey,
Sorry to comment on such an old post but I have just resurrected my hardware synth patch a day concept, although the synth is different, as is the frequency! The patch settings may be completely lost on you but check it out if you can:

Belated congratulations on passing the 1000 post mark by the way, a quite phenomenal feat, AND you're blog is as readable as ever. Good work!

PS Music has taken a back seat for me over the past couple of years, it's great to be back programming synths again!
Great to have you back at it, Ghostly! I'll definitely be checking in on your blog to watch your progress!
