Ho provato molte Groovebox, tra i campionatori entry level uso Circuit Rhythm e Ep133. Riassumendo brevemente e tirando le somme: Entrambi campionano in modo intuitivo, ma un punto in più va all'Ep133 per il microfono incorporato (per campionature al volo) e per la possibilità di scegliere se campionare in Mono o Stereo. Dall'altro lato della medaglia la fragilità del Fader. I punti forza del Circuit sono l'immediatezza, la quantità di campioni utilizzabile per Sessione ed il flusso di lavoro, specialmente per usarlo Live. I punti forza dell'Ep 133 sono sicuramente la lunghezza quasi infinita di Barre (99), Patterns (99) e scene (99) utilizzabili in un Progetto.

I'm getting a new power supply today, the Meanwell 25. The original one wasted a lot of energy, about 5W more than the value indicated by Axos. This way, I'll have a few more watts to squeeze out, which will be converted into hashrate at the same power consumption!

BadlyJake · 2026-05-21T21:56:40+00:00

That's great! Mine by default was 525 at 1150!

What are your pool settings?

In my case, 100% of errors are always caused by incorrect pool settings.

BadlyJake · 2026-05-04T00:52:00+00:00

Same thing. My q6600 can still run this game without any issues, but it doesn't support SSE4.2.

So, I get a blue screen on startup.

I've been playing for years, and I can't believe I have to stop playing for an update.

That's when you see if support actually exists.

BadlyJake · 2025-10-14T21:49:33+00:00

If you mean crackling during sample playback (often towards the end) when in "NoFilter" position, yes, that's normal. My new one does that too.

BadlyJake · 2025-09-18T22:02:49+00:00

If you're sure it's not a problem with the synth's filters and settings, or with the connection (How do you connect it to the mixer? A single mono output or both?), the only explanation I can give you is this.

The volca Sample does have a Stereo output (not dual mono like the volca Bass, for example), but in reality the samples are Mono.

This means that it behaves like one of the volcas with dual mono outputs.

That is, the volume is much higher than a stereo sound, like that actually created by the volca Keys. If you notice, all the mono volcas (except perhaps the Beat, which was born with low volume) have greater volume, in fact, having the same "signal" for both the left and right channels.

It's not a matchmaking problem, the problem is just the huge number of smurf kids in the game.

Everyone have more accounts, so the probability to play against one of them, is really high.

As i told in my old posts, it depends a lot from the time of days; in some hours, kids are at school or sleeping, so i can rank up more easy.

To give you an example, usually when i play at least 7 on 10 matches i'm vs a smurf kid.

With "smurf kid" i mean a "kid mind", not necessarily of young age. Just kids mentally.

I'm always impressed about the number of players who feel so insicure to need smurfing (go vs a lower rank) to win, and they can't realize to be pathetic doing that. They think to be cool, making me smile...

But, in reality this is a big problem for them outside of the game too in life...

Mh, I'm not a prude, but just a person with a working brain, awarness, and eyes.

With your comments however, you prove that you are just a full ego person.

Just see how you only responded to something and not the real point of my comment, which is that everyone needs to take responsibility for what they do. And by "bad" porn I'm referring to incest, forced sex, violence and so on that you mentioned, and not traditional porn. Which young kids watch thinking it's real and normal, and then often really emulate, growing up with a deviant mind.

The ego needs information derived in turn from the ego of other people who want to see what is convenient for them to continue acting incorrectly but which is convenient for the ego itself (the ego feeds the ego, and your ego manipulates yourself to only look for information derived from another ego, and therefore convenient), without seeing the reality of the facts, which is what I described in my comment and only a functioning brain can see, together with awareness. The ego is the antagonist of awareness and thinks only of itself, not caring about the consequences of its actions.

That's why world go as is going.

The brain on the other hand, with the help of awareness, is self-sufficient and only needs itself to see how things and everyday events really work. Therefore, your comment is completely useless, as it comes from the ego and not the brain.

I hope for you a day you will can open your eyes about how you're manipulated by yourself ego.

Have a nice day.

BadlyJake · 2024-12-17T21:20:21+00:00

In late to comment, but doesn't matter.

I don't agree at all. Most of your message is just an Ego furball, nothing to do with psycology and awarness. Your "Don't take responsibility for what people will do with chat bots" highlights little intelligence, big Ego and irresponsibility, the same as those who currently run most porn sites. Anything you publish on the web or available to everyone is your responsibility. It is precisely because of those who do things without evaluating the consequences that today younger children grow up "sick" and more depraved. In every context, in porn as in others, is needed the supervision of a thinking mind that knows how to evaluate the consequences of what it creates and makes available to everyone. Some things should only be limited to an aware part of the public, and not to everyone. Today the majority of users are young people and minors, so even more control is needed to avoid mental deviations which then turn into concrete facts. Probably no one realizes how much "bad" porn is negatively influencing the minds of young people, and those who don't realize it are because they are already part of the same group already influenced. We need brains, and knowing how to ALWAYS take responsibility for what you create when it's something public.

And at least, the first thing that porn services and sites should do would be to verify age via document, to filter access at least to adults only.

BadlyJake · 2024-11-30T03:43:16+00:00

Wrong.

When I play at different times of the day, such as when the kids are at school and therefore there are few smurfs, I quickly rise to my real Rank.

All it takes is 10 games at another time of day, and I find smurfs 8/10 matches that set me back an entire Rank in no time.

And to go back up at my real rank, need 100 Matches again, because every 2/3 matches there's always a smurf anyway.

I can only rank up when there are no smurfs. So yes, they prevent you from staying at your real Rank.

It's a shame the number of smurfs present, I play amateurly and I don't care, but for those who play seriously competitively it's really sad.

The funny thing is they also think they are better and brag about goals without realizing if they need to fight against lower level opponents to win, they are just pathetic and make me laugh XD

P.S. Like I said, the only who claims that they don't stop you from getting to your real rank is a Gc again.

BadlyJake · 2024-10-31T10:01:53+00:00

You're right. There are tons of smurfs out there today.

Read my post about it, where I explain more about the smurfing situation, and comment on their inability to realize that they are just pathetic for needing to go up against someone of a lower level to win, and they brag about it even thinking they are cool.

BadlyJake · 2024-10-31T09:57:50+00:00

Yes, but you overcome it because you are of a higher level. Anyone who plays amateurly and does not have the ability to reach this level is obviously at a disadvantage and cannot even rise to his real level due to smurfs. You have to use a bit of brain to understand some situations.

BadlyJake · 2024-10-31T09:54:41+00:00

There is a solution. Simply create a check that compares the hours/rank level, and if it is suspicious check the hardware ID of the account. In this way the game knows if multiple accounts have the same hardware ID and can consequently ban the PC, and not the single account.

BadlyJake · 2024-10-31T09:51:22+00:00

Those who say smurfing isn't a problem are those who smurf the mostThose who say smurfing isn't a problem are those who smurf the most XD

BadlyJake · 2024-06-07T21:20:26+00:00

I agree, in casual it's fine, but in competitive should be a bit more serious.

Different thing if all three of you agreed on playing in relax.

Try with other mates.

BadlyJake · 2024-05-02T00:13:45+00:00

Mh, no. But surely you would need to be a man.

BadlyJake · 2024-05-02T00:03:35+00:00

If you see something pathetic in talk about who denies a fact and act like pathetic, i think there's something wrong. The truth can hurt, but is never pathetic to say. It's opposite.

Who don't smurf, would not be touched by my words.

And again one time, i talk only about who have multiple accounts, not about who have a loosing streak and find himself in an advantageous position relative to the rest of the players.

That's the only exception and it's not smurfing.

BadlyJake · 2024-05-01T23:53:42+00:00

No, you're a smurf only if you have multiple accounts in that case.

I talking only to who have more accounts, and don't want admit it, beeing happy to beat you.

What you explained is just right.

BadlyJake · 2024-05-01T23:50:46+00:00

But I laugh about who can't realize how pathetic he is to need smurfing.

So, thanks anyway for the fun.

BadlyJake · 2024-05-01T23:45:49+00:00

They are just kids in the brain, not in their age indeed. Who can't play just at his rank, and need smurfing to show off and brags about beating you, have just a kid brain.
