solarbirdInteresting issue one: the digital pre-preamp on the toy is very noisy. Do not use. That's okay, because i don't have to use it.
Interesting issue two: I already know I'm RF-active; I affect analogue radio receivers and some small electronics. It's occasionally annoying. It's less of a problem with digital receivers, so doesn't come up often. But I'm apparently also RF-active enough that I can be picked up by said digital pre-preamp.
It would be nice if I could faraday cage myself.
Interesting issue three: The editing software suffers badly from the "if you don't use it the way we use it, random things happen, because we have no test team" problem. However, it is possible to use it the way they use it; then it works. If you don't, then you may find slices of music moved around at random, and you may find yourself completely unable to remove the first part of a sample segment because they didn't think of that and it doesn't work, or they did, and it's a selection bug that was too hard to fix. Also, the waveform display may vanish completely. It's hard to say!
Still, it seems to have worked. So that's cool! Now I can make digital noises out of analogue sources. This is Good.
