I'm interested in what happens if you use a lower ratio (20%) koji and higher ratio (15%) of salt? Slower progress, or higher contamination risk? Or both?

As above, I'm looking to dip my toe into electronic music-making, but want to do so with something tactile (not a DAW), likely a groovebox.

I think I'd enjoy sampling sounds and playing with them, so it would be really great to have a built-in microphone (otherwise the Novation Circuit Rhythm looks perfect - notwithstanding polyphony being a nice-to-have).

I'm not particularly looking to record anything, and won't be hooking it up to anything else, so MIDI isn't essential.

The Orba 3 also looks cool (can record directly, is portable and seemingly easy-to-use), but the reviews for Artiphon's previous models are so poor that I'd want to see how it's received. Similarly the Donner Medo, but

Any recommendations for spots to visit? We will need to leave luggage somewhere (prob Surat Thani station - so could catch a short train from there). We've got a small child with us, but otherwise flexible.

Any decent beaches (esp if less popular with jellyfish), interesting attractions or fruit farms?
