& yea, just about everything i've read has said it's important you don't push your feelings on the significant other. If i'm still feeling the same way I always have, and she doesn't, trying to make her feel that way or guilting her to try to get her to feel that way will do the exact opposite of what I want. I think i am going to leave out one letter though where she wrote that she loves me forever, that I am the one, etc. I think it was right prior to getting engaged. Just to remind her.
Try to resist the urge to do this. She's gonna resent you for it.

I wish you were right cause then I'd have my solution. But from what I read in a modwiggler discussion, it's not the case. Very misleading on Behringer's part. Quote from Behringer regarding the pedal:
What exactly do you mean by this?
Very nicely obliquely marketed by behringer then.
What I meant was that I would probably prefer to use an expression pedal as a passive attenuator to control the intensity of, say an lfo rather than have the pedal generate a voltage. And because the operating ranges of CV inputs vary wildly (i.e. one input will operate from -3 to +5 volts and another from 0 to +10 volts) you'd probably want to have some offset and scaling controls and then when you've dialed those in you can finally attenuate the signal with the expression pedal. If the pedal would be the source of the voltage it would either be very limited in its use or it would have to have on-board scaling and offset controls. I mean, it boils down to the same thing more or less but it just makes more sense to do this elsewhere than on the expression pedal.
I think you'd still be fine using this with the neutron, IIRC one of the attenuators can be used as a 5V voltage source when you use a dummy cable on its input and then turn up the control, then you can patch that out to the expression pedal.

It seems to imply that it would send CV and work correctly but any expression pedal you would buy for a non-modular keyboard that has an expression pedal input would also send CV. The difference is that it receives the CV from the synth itself on a TRS cable, then sends back the adjusted CV, based on the pedal position, back to the synth. So it's hard to find a pedal that actually generates it's own CV and outputs enough to control the full sweep of a parameter.
Found that one too, but it's a passive expression pedal. It sends CV, but it first receives the CV from the synth itself.
Yeah, which is described in the blurb on the website as the difference between the "norm" and "other" output. IE the norm output scales whatever is being put through the pedal and the "other" output is a CV generated from the pedal. Hence the 12v psu that is needed.
In the long run a scaling pedal is going to be more interesting IMHO. Unless you have incredibly floppy shins you're gonna get some pretty static modulation from a cv pedal and it's going to be way more interesting to send a lfo or sequence through it and scale it with a foot. IMHO
You make a good point re; the difficulty finding a pedal that will put out the 20 volts peak to peak range that might be encountered in eurorack. And even if you did you'd probably want scaling because there's only so much travel on any given pedal.

The Behringer pedal specifically states that it will output CV, so it should work, couldn't find the range it puts out in the online specs but I guess you can scale it on the pedal anyway and perhaps use some of the Neutron's utilities for fine-tuning if you wish. I didn't check the others.

Got myself one of these (1010music Nanobox Razzmatazz), it's fun in a very small package, altough the price point will make a lot of people avoid it. Based on it I'll most probably go for both the Fireball and the Lemondrop, too, and put off getting a Blackbox (at least for a while).
Yowza McBowza!

oof. heavy. sounds like you're doing a good thing by being in his life and reminding him to do the right things. other than physically taking him to the doctor and making him go to a few AA meetings i don't know what else you can do. dealing w/aging parents w/any kind of health issue is hard. at least you are close enough to talk about these things and be in his life. knowing where/when to draw the line is hard.
On 11/25/2022 at 5:23 PM, zero said:may sound harsh, but you coming to the realization there isn't anything you can do about your father's issues is something you should view as a positive. best to figure your own shit out first separately than whatever he's going through. we often times think we can solve other people's problems when we can't...it is up to them to solve their own shit...come to their own rescue, so to speak.
best course of action would be for him to talk to a psychologist/psychiatrist...but I know people don't like doing that. especially people in their 70's. I want my own parents to do this and they won't. my mom says she's been like this all her life (she's 74) and won't change at this point, so I just have to deal with it. I think that's bullshit. it is never too late to change.
Thanks guys, appreciate your insights.

I fear my dad has started to develop Korsakoff. He's in his mid 70's and has been a highly functioning alcoholic, although prone to forgetfulness, for as long as I can remember. About 6 years ago or so (my memory isn't all that great either...) he had developed a rare but noticeable tendency to confabulate which had me worried enough to plead with him to see his GP and to stop drinking. Or, at the very least make sure that he would get enough nutrition and get his blood checked every now and then. Much to his and my surprise he managed to pretty much quit drinking entirely and would even go for a yearly check-up. Every year he'd relapse for a week during christmas/new year but I never made a big deal out of it as it didn't seem to lead to more frequent relapses and he appeared to have his health more or less in check.
Rest of long-winded oversharing in spoiler.
SpoilerOur relationship is pretty good but I'm a bit of a flake dealing/preoccupied with my own addictions and being a self-centered man-baby while simultaneously constantly worrying and dreading the moment my dad would start to slip but then soothing myself with the idea that my dad has an active social life and a girlfriend he sees at least twice per week and that by the time my dad would start needing help or whatever I would have my shit together enough to deal with it emotionally and practically and I'd be ready and able to be there for him and help. Very silly, I know.
In hindsight over the last couple of months there were so many warning signs I selfishly downplayed and even the last couple of weeks while things went downhill even more rapidly I failed to see the urgency. This sunday I finally had the nerve to tell my dad I was worried, he acknowledged his memory had recently become worse but my heart sank when he told me that his gf had been getting angry with him because of his forgetfulness, and that he'd had relapsed for several weeks over the last months and even though he'd stopped he hadn't been really bothering to eat well for a much longer period.
He had a doctor's appointment scheduled for this morning. I told myself it would be sufficient to check in with him daily and remind him about the appointment and that he would explicitly mention that he'd been relapsing, not eating well and that his memory had noticeably deteriorated over the last months. This morning when I asked him how it went it was obvious he had either missed his appointment, never made one or decided to not mention most of the things we'd agreed he would. Desperately I tried to avoid sounding accusatory or condescending while he confabulated and tried to act casual and reassuring. We had another conversation a couple of hours ago that revealed even more relapses and additional worrying things and he was overcome by emotions a few times and promised he'd make a new dr's appointment. I've no idea what his assessment of things will be like tomorrow and I've no idea what the fuck I should do as I've clearly misjudged just about everything up to now and I couldn't be further from having even the most basic of my shit together than ever.

incredibly ironic how long it took for a decent *modular* modular case to emerge. this looks nice
Ehhhh. I wonder how easily those clicky clacky snappy clips break. Anyone know what these cases are made of? Kudos to them for including a beefy powersupply with each basic set though. OTOH none of the arguments that dude in the video makes for this case really hold up to scrutiny imho.

damn he's going off the deep end still? dude has crazy eyes. sounds like he feels very isolated
Yeah, and Kanye doesn't seem to be doing so well either.
SpoilerI'm really sorry, so sorry. Gratuitous comment, way too late. Haven't got a lot going for myself atm, clearly. Could've just ignored this.
BTW, call me crazy but this seems like one big ploy by Kanye to unify the rampant conspiracy theories and those answering. This man has offered as a vessel his mind and flesh for something greater to manifest.

What do you mean? I literally did just that by skipping 4 concerts to prioritise my university work. It's just annoying when you get tickets 6 months in advance then an exam is sprung on you with 2 weeks notice
Could have been any other day of the week and it would have worked out. Unlucky that's all.
Yeah, no. Skip school, go show.

Got tickets to a show (it happened last night) I wanted to go to so bad with 2 other friends back in March but 2 of us found out we had an exam on the morning after the show about two weeks ago, meaning we were no longer able to go. The other friend still goes and met the artist at the end of the show..... Ready to kill myself now. In my life I've gotten concert/ show tickets 6 times but have actually only been to 2 concerts. Fuck uni.
Get your priorities straight, maybe?

Hello Max heads, I am trying to figure out a new paradigm changing M4L device (yeah, right :eyeroll motion:), I thought I would ask this thread for tips.
The basic idea is that I need to have a MIDI device running on a track in Ableton that is looping some MIDI (or just accepting input from a keyboard or whatever source). Let's say this is the "carrier" track.
Then I need to have that MIDI device (on the "carrier signal" track) receive incoming MIDI from another Live track. Let's call this one "modulator".
The practical use case I have in mind is recording a MIDI loop on the "carrier" track, and then transposing/forcing all the pitches to be what I play on the "modulator" track. I have hacked something like this together with a janky Pure Data thing - and its super fun to play - but now its time to up the level and do it all in M4L.
I know that a M4L device can only accept MIDI from one channel, so I guess the main technical blocker for this thing is figuring out some way to have the "modulator" and the "carrier" devices communicate with each other. Well, as a dumb workaround I think the "modulator" can just send the pitch values in a reserved range like the C-2 octave, or I could figure out some hacky hack to convert the incoming noteons to CC messages that the "carrier" decodes to a set of pitches.
The 2nd difficult part to figure out is how to repitch the notes on the "carrier" track. In my previous experiments I used the Scale device to force everything into the "correct" notes. I do not really want to reimplement that device in M4L, so I wonder if its possible to somehow make my "carrier" device just be paired with a Scale device by way of some automation mapping hooks or something.
I am also like 99% sure someone already built a thing like this, but I can't find anything like this online (and of course I have not really tried either
).
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
This can be solved by using the imp.midi external
https://www.theimpersonalstereo.com/max-externals
I can confirm that it works.
There's another person offering a similar external elsewhere but I couldn't quickly find it and I should be sleeping.

I’ve been rinsing that tune over the last couple of years. Now I’m gonna feel self-conscious every time I wanna play it. Goddamn internet.

Have you tried broadening your search by finding out if the SP404's fx can be applied to externally triggered samples? The TR-8 just sends out regular midi notes when the pads are in external trigger mode.
Do it! I ummed and ahhed for at least a year but finally went for it, think about 2 years ago, and I wouldn't want to go without it anymore. I think I got the SL88 studio.
