Sequencing the SP-404 and Polyend Play+

In trying to improve my timing and work flow I had to investigate The MIDI parameters of the Polyend Play Plus and the SP-404 MK2.

The Arturia MiniLab3 is a useful MIDI controller. The way the SP-404 handles MIDI is interesting. Apologies for the audio with everything routed to the SP-404, which normally is really good, I did not get the mix quite right.

Me

Electronic music hobbyist, or at least the lady at the Apple Store said I should call myself a Freelancer.

I saw a Pocket Operator in a YouTube thumbnail earlier this year, and was intrigued. Several months and $$$$ later, I am enjoying a new hobby freelance opportunity.

How do I make this work?

I use the static site generator Hugo to build the pages and upload them from my mac. I use IntelliJ for editing, mainly because I use it for other coding projects already.
