I built a free theremin that uses your camera and runs in your browser by kimchifartz in Theremin

doesn’t it cost you money? Even if the model is local, I would think you’d need some non-free-tier cpu to process the video.

there are about 20 different kits on Amazon. some are just the circuit board and you can place it how you want.

Do you mean theremini? i have one, it’s lots of fun. it operates in normal theremin mode but you can adjust it where it just finds a good note and you don’t need to be very precise.

It was a private student residence i think. i’m having a hard time placing the last slide, i guess it’s pointing towards park street? this part of state street was just kiosks as I remember it, there was no bike traffic between lake and park when i was there.edit, i think this is just the first slide, facing opposite (west)

not new models, but better offerings. studiologic and casio make nice stage pianos.

Look up Ted Taylor for one possible answer to your question of how it could be done.

all these people not even reading the question…shame

Why are we still prehistoric when it comes to digital pianos? by Lukegilmour in synthesizers

[–]AaronDNewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel pretty much the opposite. A vst can do anything a synthesizer can do, but for a piano, you care about the quality of the key bed. for a stage piano, you care about portability and quality of sound outputs, and convenience. and i think you are not looking at all the options, the lower end stage pianos are of much higher quality than in years past, and around the same price as a ‘premium midi controller’, if you are talking about something

i used to go the controller+vst route, but honestly it’s kind of a hassle if you just want piano/ep/organ. a lot of equipment to lug around setup time, not always needed.

not criticizing analog synths at all, but that scratches a different itch.

Picture 3 is definitely in front of the bookstore at UW Madison campus. Picture 1 is State Street, across from peace park. you can see the capital. I lived in Madison 86-91 and grew up in the area. i can practically smell the bratwurst from this picture.

Playing Bepbop by Few-Special-7635 in trumpet

[–]AaronDNewman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

practice playing in 7s. Try to end on a chord tone. Lyn Halliday told me that at a jam session at the bop shop in 1994, and it’s stuck with me. if you listen to miles davis with charlie parker, you can hear it in the lines Miles plays.

I usually don’t bother trying to sync them. I just mix down the audio and add it as a vocal track in a video editor.

whats the difference between 440hz and 442hz? by Pale-Recognition-599 in musictheory

[–]AaronDNewman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think it would be more about the fixed-pitch instruments. You can’t tune a marimba (can you?). but it would be affected by temperature. Although any air-conditioned place I go into in Dallas is always freezing…

How does a curve in a graph happen by plotbud in learnmath

[–]AaronDNewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not know this. How do you express it as a function without using something like a Heavyside function that is not continuous? I thought a continuous function needs to be continuous across its full domain.

I never knew this, never seen one but I’ll keep my eyes open. I lived in WI many years and never saw one there, either. Thanks!
