      That joke would've worked except mescaline is natural - not synthetic - It is usually harvested from cacti like peyote and san pedro IIRC. Well, I guess if we were splitting hairs it would be considered SEMI-synthetic... but y'know, just felt like it was *my* turn to be "that guy" for once lol

    Serious question... is it really frustrating to work with an instrument that is so unpredictable and you can't just get right to what you want? Or do you just have to deal with surrendering yourself over to trial and error until something sounds good? The latter is usually difficult for me anyway.
