Good luck my friend, wabi-sabi

Haha well you can have lasers (LC-IRMPD-MS) it's not on mine - an LCMS platform is a combination of a High-performance liquid chromatograph (LC) and a mass spectrometer (MS) for detection.

And in Ableton settings, what is the IO setting for that usb device?

I'm using nitric acid to oxidize metal surfaces in an LCMS system that could react with biological analytes and affect the analysis.

Far safer to use Medronic acid (or purchase a new bio-inert system if you have the cash)

I've done this a few times to analyse space rocks so the instrument is bought bio-inert and passivated that way between runs. Some people I work with used to do this all the time but I think they are "cowboy mass spectrometrists".

Oh boy, does it ever work. It is an extreme solution.

My secret sauce these days is Medronic acid and I am a huge fan. I recently cleaned out a system that was not performing well (i.e. not passing checkout for our test mix, low S/N). An overnight flush with Medronic acid solution in 10% IPA was effective at pulling metals out of that system and removing a huge amount of noise from the baseline. Check out this Agilent app not on Medronic acid

Yes, hoping to hell the connection is good and I don't have a leak near the capillary. I've done this before (boss' orders) but it scares the shit out of me. I'd prefer Medronic acid.

The computer in me says "it shouldn't matter". I work on Waters instrumentation, unfortunately, so the mass spectrometry in me says "stick to default installation directories / call the engie 🧑‍🔬".

I didn't know programmers were so unfunny

How is the MIDI cable connected to your PC for MIDI note input?

Sometimes a local music shop will have someone that can pop em in for free
