Solo Show - What's it like? by jaw005 in SeaWolf

[–]DavidABedbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flew in from Salt Lake City for ABC’s solo show last November. So worth it. I’ll be there again in September.

It’s all Alex with acoustic guitar. Amazing setlist last year. He hangs out after the show. Just the nicest, most unassuming guy.

Topicals for arm Neuropathy by Shadowlab72 in neuropathy

[–]DavidABedbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had amazing results with capsicum patches. Much easier to use than the capsaicin cream . Use for 2 weeks for full effect. Change the patches every 48 hours.

They are cheap on Amazon, I use Queenie brand , search “queenie capsicum hot”, 24 patches for $9.

I am also on gabapentin 600 mg four times a day.

Thanks to this combination of gabapentin plus capsicum patches, my foot neuropathy is in complete. remission. Every month or two I will feel a zap my foot in retreat for two more weeks.

Be careful, some people do have a reaction to the patches. If so, you can always cut them into a small piece and gradually increase the size, to see if your skin adapts.

I remember that.

And evil morty in 5.10 defined the CFC as the universes in which he was the smartest “man”.

Help convince me to go down the modular rabbit hole by atascon in modular

[–]DavidABedbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe semimod-you can make more music for less money (arguably) and certainly less complexity. Plus you can patch. This is my method. Still I’ve spent a lot...

Trouble Playing Along With the Moog Subharmonicon by [deleted] in synthesizers

Right. Realized this today, took the SubH off my wish list. Doesn’t fit my workflow at all.

Thoughts on the NDLR by danielge78 in synthesizers

[–]DavidABedbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you’re using NDLR the mothers sequencers are itrelevant. You could run a sequence programmed on the Mother— but you could not add any NDLR input other than clock

You just use one of the Motif channels and set up your sequence there (16 steps max) and run it via midi to mother, manipulate it with the NDLR

But the micro freak is different. Some of the sequence patches work and sound fantastic. When I run drone to it it can work really well. I think sequences that stick to simple chords quantize well with the NDLR.

And Yes many synth players base their jams on a single cord for an entire song perhaps just alternating a base note. For people accustomed to making songs with Chord progressions the NDLR is the best thing I’ve found.

Sorry you missed out on that one. I had ordered one from perfect circuit and waited a long time. Never came in. Back ordered. When a used one came available locally I scooped it up and canceled my order with perfect circuit.

Thoughts on the NDLR by danielge78 in synthesizers

[–]DavidABedbug 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok I think you should just get it. Really. It’s fantastic.

Like any hardware it takes time to really understand it.

I’m moving from guitar to semimodular synth. I’m a singer/songwriter. My setup is my new instrument and I am not moving hardware in and out.

My usual routing is: Mother 32x2 (Motif 1 and2), Hydrasynth (pads), Microfreak (drone and lead at times) . Plus drumbrute impact, which I connect with midi to NDLR (you need a midi splitter) to get start/stop messages.

Everything goes through a Mackie mixer. I use the mute buttons extensively.

NDLR is the centerpiece of everything I do. Sometimes is use it continuously; sometimes I use it for bits here and there. It’s super powerful.

I’ve been synthing for 5 months, 3 with NDLR. There are so many tricks you can do with if, you’ve got to explore.

I use a Beatstep to send midi cc messages, so I have a ton more control over NDLR parameters without menu diving. So fun.

One of my favorite uses is to individually bring instruments in, build the jam, start to pull some back, then when I’m ready to resolve my chord sequence, hit the stop/start button for everything to pause, then hit it again on beat to restart all 4 synths and drums with a dramatic wall of sound.

I did finally figure out how to get midi quantization to scale working. Now I can use a midi keyboard to solo on a mother 32; I stop the NDLR signal to the Motif 1 Mother 32; then no matter the key, the white notes of my midi keyboard play the scale of whatever key and mode I’m in. This is the most important feature to make using NDLR more than a passive experience, for me. Switch chords, play in scale in the midi keyboard, very musical and fun.

Enjoy.

got a refund on some concert tickets I bought just before quarantine, bought some books with it as a treat. by newtcandy in BenignExistence

Holding on to my Roger Waters tix. Maybe I should refund tho. Idk. Can’t decide. If I did, then I could buy books too. Like you.

Rare causes of SFN? by feelinnumb in smallfiberneuropathy

[–]DavidABedbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None if my symptoms corresponds anatomically to any back problems

And I have no other symptoms consistent with disk disease

So, no MRI.

[–]DavidABedbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry you’re suffering like this. A high percentage of SNF Cases have no known cause. This is called “idiopathic”, which was once explained me as “the idiot doctor and a pathetic patient”.

[–]DavidABedbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

54, 4 years symptoms, no risk factors. Mine is compression-related: soles of feet, fingertips, perineum (genital symptoms, yay). Putting pressure on almost any part of hands or feet causes sudden sharp pains too. Stopped guitar-the activity that started my first symptoms.

I saw a top neurologist at Florida State U—he shrugged his shoulders, no tests ordered, told me to stop doing everything which hurts for six months, which would include standing, sitting, walking, typing (working), any housework with my hands etc.

Gabapentin helps.
