My usual day in retirement is to get up, have a coffee, watch the news, read what is on the forums, go for a walk, go to my main computer and fiddle about with some music. A couple of days a week I’d play lawn bowls and or organise the bowls club (of which I’m president). Maybe go out and have a coffee occasionally.

Now I’m forced home I still occasionally sneak out for a coffee but bowls is out. All of a sudden life is boring nothing to do. I suppose I could do nearly everything I normally do but what’s the point.

What I did do, because I’m not spending my normal allowance is purchase the full version of Kontakt. I decided I really wanted to learn this inside out (pretty much what a do with all my tools). I put a number of samples I made of my old Telecaster years ago In Kontakt. I had made SFZ files for it but thought I’d try it in Kontakt. Then made adjustments. Then started to learn the scripting aspects. Make buttons and knobs to use in Kontakt. Boy, I have not been so busy for a long time. There are suddenly not enough hours in the day.

I had to find something to do. It is that simple. Look for something you would like then go for it. Will I end up really using Kontakt? I don’t know but it is already serving a purpose.

Sorry if this is not the right track.

Tony
