Starting the year with an oddity. I’m taking a look at (and a listen to) the CHORDMACHINE from Sony - a strange hybrid device that defies conventional categorisation. Unless that category is ‘What the heck were they thinking?’

In a recent update I mentioned how I’d avoided featuring boombox/synth combo units due to being unable to play keyboards. There’s no such concern here as I doubt Jean-Michel Jarre could wring a tune out of this one.

While I’m here - I’ll wish everyone all the best for what remains of 2022.

UPDATE

Re-edited and re-uploaded to aid clarity.

A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version.
