Nearer and nearer

It's the beginning of the New Year. All of the celebrations are over. The recycling bin is full of empties. I think the bin men will develop hernias just carrying our bottles let alone the chocolate wrappers. The decorations came down this morning as did the tree. The living room is looking particularly bare... and unusually clean!

Why am I talking about the beginning of the new year? Well, it means that the anticipated arrival of the Hauptwerk software is a little closer on the horizon. I'm very keen to see what you get and all that jazz. More's the point, I'm keen to receive the upgrade sometime soon. I'm very worried (well, no, not worried at all but interested) that there's no reverb. I like a bit of reverb. It sounds so unrealistic when you're playing it in the back bedroom without reverb. I know you can get 'dry' samples or 'wet' samples or whatever but I'll not be buying a new organ for the software for a little while as yet so it'll be good to have that to play with... Once the hand's a bit better at the end of Jan.

Not a lot to report, really. As you read!
