Just finished my first completely improvised live set. 2 hours and 19 minutes of various chill vibes.

I have been dreaming of a setup where i could just flow live and go where the music takes me and with my newly completed Korg Volca Suitcase, i have something that can help me achieve this.

Thank you to all of you who popped in during the live session!

This one started out in my backyard, deciding I wanted to try to sample my ukulele on the EP133. It then sorta just grew into this summer track.

Setup: EP133: Ukulele sample, drums and a few other samples. Micromonsta 2: Leads, custom patches by me. Exquis: Midi controller in MPE mode controlling the MM2.

MM2 goes into the input on the EP133. Recorded directly into OBS on a Motu M2 interface. Postproduction: Slight EQ adjustments in Davinci Resolve before render.

I mean a pianotuneR (as in a guy that tunes your piano) is pretty expensive.

These apps seem to be marketed as tools for professional piano tuners. And looking just at the screenshots it looks like it has a lot of tools and features outside of just showing the correct pitch.

If tuning pianos is your profession, paying 999$ once and writing it off as a business expense isn't that far fetched.

(Better be a bloody useful tool though ;) )

This one starting out with me trying to get some retro/chiptune sounds out of the MicroMonsta 2. Then i though "hey, i bet some crunchy 8-bit drums would work great on the EP133.. then one thing led to another.. and suddenly there was a Jam :D

Micromonsta 2: Lead and performed bass. Bitimbral set to split, so i can play both parts on the Exquis. (On the last part i set it to stack and play both presets combined)

EP133 Drums, Sequenced Basslines + chip style arp in B section.

New Jam! This time its all about the retro gaming feel. Started out as me having fun making new chiptune-like presets on the MicroMonsta 2, ended up as a Jam. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค–

This is my first recorded Jam with the EP133. I have really mixed feelings about the EP133. On one hand its really fun to play around with, and make cool beats, but at the same time i find the Live performance experience to be, tricky at best. It requires way to many simultaneous button presses to perform things, and there are not enough options for scene transitions. (I want an option to change on pattern end, not just bar/tick)

As such this is not an optimal Jam, as i probably would have needed more time to rehearse, and in the end i also ended up cutting out a part in the middle of the video because awkward transitions and overall performance was not interesting to listen to.

I'm not quite ready to give up on the EP133, but I think i would need some really substantial software updates to be properly useful for me, and not just something fun to goof around with.... The frustrations in live play just makes me want to put it away and pull out the Circuit Tracks. :/

This was a really fun setup. I just recently got the Intuitive Instruments Exquis and this is my first real Jam with it. The expressiveness of the Exquis combined with the nice flow working with the Circuit tracks made this setup very fun to work with.

The thing is its only the copyrights of individual artists and creators that will die to this.

The big corpos will find a way to protect their value, just you wait.

They will steal from every single creative in the world and then sue them to hell and back if they use anything they them selves "own"

This is not a threat to the copyrights that you want to die.

What I find interesting is how often statements like this that are trying to unify the working class (or whatever you end up calling it) just derails into semantics instead of actually people bringing out the pitchforks and shouting "eat the rich"

We are all fucked.

This time its a more minimalist jam.

I recently got the Roland S-1 and T8, so decided to try to make something simple while learning how to use them.

Gear: Roland T-8: Drums @baseli+ 303 bassline sound. Roland S-1: Main bass groove Korg Volca FM2: "Melody" line

Quote me after dealing with print drivers acting up and spooler service crashes for the nth time that day (also worked in it support for several years):

"We can land men on the moon, but somehow getting a printer, a technology that has existed litteraly since before computers had screens, to work is still complete and utter black magic...!"

Let's hope Apple puts their "privacy first" money where their mouth is.

Sadly I do however think the ability to further lock down and control what uses can see and access might be just as tempting for them...

[-] Electricblush@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

This is what scares me the most.

I absolutely agree that they need to "play it safe" this time.

But for their consoles they have had a "it's not worth launching something unless it's really innovative" philosophy for quite some time. And if they decide on some bonkers idea that screws with my simple wish, a better switch, I think I'm going to be disappointed.

And I say this as a guy who has loved Nintendo and their products since I got my NES back in the 90s. I stood in line to get the Wii at launch, heck I even liked my Wii U. (Even if it was under powered and confusingly marketed, I liked that they tried to do something new...)

But this time Nintendo, just stick to a good, solid, backwards compatible , iteration on your original idea.

This.

Anyone who looks into this tech properly, beyond sensationalist headlines made to draw readers or outrageous claims to attract investors sees this emperor as the naked illusion that it is.

It's a great tool for what it's good at (generating convincing text outputs). And completely useless at others.

The risk to jobs currently are owners and managers with little to no knowledge trying to actually replace their employees with llms. These are companies setting them selves up for amazing and spectacular failure at this point in the game.

It's impossible to say how this will play out in the long run but currently it's interesting as a research tool, a tool for saving time when writing texts etc etc.

What happens when clever people integrate these models with other systems in intelligent and responsible ways is going to be interesting to follow.

Currently the most important thing to emphasize with AI is that a lot of the coverage and general writing on the subject matter is filled with misconceptions about how the technology works and what it is capable of. It's full on hypecycle season.

I'm currently deep diving into AI and specifically LLMs to strengthen my ability to give respondible advice about it and to explain it in an understandable manner to our bosses and decision makers at work.

There are lots of great deep dives and explainers out there all ready and a few manage to get the fundamentals right without going completely bonkers technical as well.. but the (and I hate using this word as it's being abused way to much) main stream media is not a source with even a grain of propper comprehension when it comes to what this technology is (and perhaps even more important isn't).

This is the video I currently recommended to get a good start at the subject of llms: https://youtu.be/-4Oso9-9KTQ

It is general enough for most people to follow but detailed enough to burst the biggest illusions on the subject.

Still miss my pebble...

Rocked a Garmin a few years, now I'm trying galaxy watch 5 pro. Miss the week long battery but 2+ days is "ok", a lot less annoying then I first thought it would be.

Exelent integration with my phone is a big plus. (For instance the Garmin never let me respond to alarms from the Samsung clock app :/ )
