    stupid first world problems you're dealing with

    I wiped out in the circle pit during Suicidal Tendencies almost 2 weeks ago and landed on my lower back. I was a bit startled but everything seemed ok. But now it's starting to feel sore. Stupid old body.

    Also fuck everybody on fatbikes. Seriously, fuck off and die.

    Thanks.

    Just wanna add that I just managed to land my full weight on my lower back again. This time wiping out my bike because of a combo of trying to catch a train, slippery conditions and not noticing that the road wasn’t as level as I thought it was. 
    This time the pain was instantaneous though, counting that as a win. Fuck me.

    Nnirror patch to MAX for Live...please

    I think porting this environment to a usable, mostly bugfree max for live suite of things would take even someone who is skilled at max/m4l at least a couple of hundred hours...

    Not what you asked for but why don't you make a list of the things that appeal so much to you in this environment and either try to find existing m4l patches that may approach it and perhaps teach yourself how to modify those a bit and see where that takes you?

    On my way to Graspop. Only going for a day and a night but I’m still slightly nervous as it’s my first festival across the border since the plague. 
    I’m in the train rn and there’s a dude across from me whose feet I can smell through his shoes. It’s really disgusting. He’s phoning his aunt so I can’t really hate him though.

    $$$PLUGINS$$$

    I don't want to start a thread for this so I'll ask here instead;

    Does anyone know of a good/alright windorgan (the cheap kind from the, I think 70's that have a little motor in them that sucks air into the organ) or harmonium sample pack or vst? I'm looking for something that sounds kind of creaky. Might try something with an additive synth and some added noise later maybe that'll work.

    WRT plugins I bought, besides some of the stuff already mentioned I bought the Soundtoys suite/pack/lot a few years ago during a sale. No regrets at all. If you wanna dip a toe in I can thoroughly recommend the lil little plate reverb (think it is or was free, maybe 25,- 99,- now)

    This will be my Q2 oversharing self-pity post. I feel pretty good about it.

    It seems that, somewhat inevitably, my stupid reptile dopamine fiend brain has finally fallen victim to some variation of the online shopping feedback shitshow. Getting into various forms of DIY combined with the sustained threat of various crises are kind of a perfect storm for fucking consumer simpletons like me. I don't actually buy that much, don't have the money and I'm terrified of debt and also it's not really the point anyway, but will spend ages and ages foraging for the best deal on the best whatever the fuck I think I need that will provide some relief or redemption or security or something. Back in my freebase cocaine addict days I had a few bouts of what is known as transient compulsive foraging where you start looking for bits of accidentally dropped coke, which in my case was triggered by finding an actual decently sized chunk under my kitchen table where I'd cook the freebase. Before I knew it I was literally on hands and knees going through every bit of white debris. Even though I was alone each time it happened I still felt embarrassed about this pathetic behaviour, being aware of what was going on and how unlikely it was that I'd find anything 10 meters from where I would smoke. Still it was very difficult to stop and when I finally did, I would easily lapse and go back to it and snap out of it after loading the umpteenth breadcrumb or bit of drywall into my pipe and coughing my lungs out and repeat the cycle. The current situation isn't nearly as bad but it sucks to realize what a fucking ridiculous weak willed pointless wanker I am and how easily I fall into the trap of thinking things are complex while it's just manifestations of the same basic instinctive/biological mechanism. It's shitheads like me why we can't have nice things.

    Woke up really dizzy and nauseous yesterday, even hurled because of everything spinning. So I pretty much spent the last 24 hours in bed and now my back is killing me. Still a little dizzy and there's a headache in the mix now too. I'm hoping it's an inner ear infection and not a tia or something, I can't afford to turn into more of a drool dribbling idiot than I already am.

    eat the rich is currently in full effect in sri lanka as a "real food crisis" hit, plus the country cannot replenish it's near empty gas petrol reserves

    meanwhile philippines needs to hold the line because the adobo rice is about to hit the jollee walls

    That radiogenova account seems to be a real shitslinger. I don’t see the point in “reporting” on these kinds of events without some analysis or background. Except for spreading fear and uncertainty.

    the hell, this is totally backwards!  What's the reasoning here?

    I just tested negative a second time.  My symptoms were: mild congestion day one, sore throat day 2, sore throat plus very brief and mild cough day 3, and now back to sore throat which has subsided for the time being.  While this is all very mild, it is the most persistent cold I've had since masking up became a thing.

    Re: the reasoning, incubation time, I guess?

    Although I’ve tagged the occasional train and defaced the odd streetbench I’ve mostly been more or less indifferent when it comes to graffiti in the public space. But tonight I felt a profound and unexpected appreciation for people willing to go out and practice their art, makes a lot of places seem a bit more human.

    Im thinking of going Modular a mobile modular system (Okey Okey I know what you thinking, Jises are u insane? Going that road RIP cern and all that) 

    But I would love to hook up my Machinedrum to something like this:


    This 6U suitcase style would fit because I don't want to build a wall of modular stuff etc.. If I can do this inside my computer I would take that road instead! It seems very difficult to create something like that in Max MSP. I want it hands on flexible.

    I have the wallet for this but I don't want to spend $10.000 for something that just making some noise and sounds. My gf is gonna think I have lost it completely. 

    How do you guys suggest I should start?

    Should I build my own case or pre-order a already made? 

    Cheers 

    Re: the case, are you into DIY, do you have the tools to make a case? Do you enjoy building things? Otherwise I wouldn't bother.

     

    If you wanna integrate your machinedrum...

    Something to boost the line levels from md to eurorack

    Something to bring eurorack levels back to line

    Some sort of mixer

    Something that can process triggers from MD

    Something to trigger (vco, sampler, sample player, etc)

    I'm not entirely sure what's going on in the video but it seems the md is being ran through a compressor or something and the md is triggering plaits. Plaits would be a good vco I guess because it has a built in lpg so you can just send it triggers from md and route the sound somewhere.

    Just some random thoughts. Obvs.

    I've been gradually becoming more and more nocturnal, to the point where even 4am doesn't feel late enough to be going to sleep.  Feels more like time to watch a movie.  On the one hand, there isn't really a benefit to having such a backwards schedule.  On the other hand, it means my depression is finally lifting.

    Hope the lift continues, being depressed is never no good for no one. You seem to be contrary to common understanding in associating a nocturnal schedule with anticipated relief of psychological burdens. I feel the same though, I usually need to start worrying when I feel the urge to go to sleep really early.

    I started sawing from an angry place, something I was entirely aware of and reminded myself of several times to keep cool and steady to prevent the sheet from cracking. Obviously my incompetence is immune to awareness. To make things worse this is the second time today, first time was a toxic mix of ignorance and enthusiasm though.

    these new LED lights on cars blind the shit out of me when driving at night, somehow it's even worse on a rainy night when raindrops and reflections disperse light everywhere. didn't the manufacturers test this stuff before rolling it out? sometimes when faced with an incoming column of modern SUVs i just grab the wheel and hope for the best

    This is something I’ve noticed as well, think in some cases it has to do with the way the lights are angled, something that can apparently be adjusted? Fucking obnoxious either way. 
     

    Fwp: my iPhone keeps switching to live mode when I take a picture. Seems to have started happening after the last update and the internet doesn’t offer any solutions.

    So... everyone here has sustained disappointment in roland since at least the late 80's? I'd get it if there weren't a ton of other (smaller) companies making things and the only options were the roland cloud or buying used on reverb... but that won't be until a couple more years when the supply chain has really fully collapsed, right? By then, if the acb stuff is really as accurately modeled as roland claim, the first caps and transistors will start to go on those and zencore will be all that remains.
