What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I've had quite a bit of fun using VCV Rack to make horrible noises that make every animal in the house wince and whine at me (Philistines) I also found you can use Midinous as a MIDI input into VCV Rack and it's especially handy if you use all 24 MIDI channels to pass activity back and forth

At some point I might invest in a modest rack to supplement my software rack, or maybe not. Who knows?

Hey thanks for introducing me to Midinous! That looks awesome. Yes, the sounds from VCV can border on industrial vibration at best.

And I’ve had the same fleeting dream of buying hardware, but who knows, indeed.
