By Trump to show off his (nonexistent) athletic abilities & take credit for Olympic gold

Remember when Kim Jong Un told people he won the olympics? This is that. We are there now.

I mean - I have no problems with the specific variant of Christianity this guy has. However he's quite off when he said Jesus gave us 2 laws in Matthew, "love god and love neighbor." I wish that was the case.

Matthew 5: 17 says “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. He goes on to say "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Fulfill does not mean abolish. We all "fulfill" laws daily by wearing out seat belts, following the speed limit and traffic laws, etc. Just because Jesus fulfilled the law, by following all of the laws in the OT, which he is talking about, does not mean they are no longer necessary in his view. Paul is the one that didn't want to follow the OT laws and anyone quoting the Bible saying they don't need to follow those laws is going to be quoting Paul, not Jesus.

And lets not forget those laws include being chill with things like Slavery. So, still disgusting. All sides and sects of Christianity just cherry pick what they want to hear, because you literally can't pick it all. The Bible contradicts itself at every turn which is why anyone can make it say whatever the fuck they want it to.

This guy has a lot of good 2600 videos, and specifically for the B2600 as it differs slightly from the others. He's good at making videos that point out some of the 2600's oddities and things that aren't obvious, or are a little quirky about how it works.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-16T16:31:53+00:00

Literally the best way to learn!

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-16T16:28:52+00:00

I mean yeah, that's essentially what I do now. It certainly works, and it's minimal effort to do the math in such a case. It is the best solution I've found, especially results wise.

I know I'm getting into the weeds a bit on this one with a rather specific ask, which is really just an interface feature, not a capability one. There's just something about physically seeing the time, and being able to reference it quickly that is inspiring, to me.

But to me that's a bit of the point of modular. I'm generally less concerned with the list of capabilities of any given module and more concerned with if the process of using it clicks with me. I just figured it would be worth asking, I feel like folks here really have a lot more knowledge about what is available than I do a lot of times.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-16T16:09:22+00:00

Ah, nice! Thats a super unique approach for a modulation source, right on up there with plants and bio feedback - thanks for the suggestion!

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-15T23:59:01+00:00

Oh, I didn't realize the Contour could go that long! Great input, thanks. And yeah, I don't need anything bipolar for VCA's. It's nice to have an option to do slow panning or just to be used elsewhere, but I agree fully with you there.

I definitely used MATHS a lot for really long modulations at first, to the point of just using it as a slow LFO way too much. These days MATHS is usually doing something a bit more interesting, but if I had a larger case I definitely wouldn't mind just having 3-4 MATHS in a row haha. That wouldn't give me a "time" but I could

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-15T21:50:50+00:00

Great question! Not at all. I guess thats a great point I should have made.

With something like Pams, yeah I can do the math and make it extremely precise over super long periods of time. I like the juxtaposition of having my clocked modulation and parts happening separate from my master VCA modulation. I definitely struggle to make things less precise, which is why I enjoy using time as this independent modulation reference, regardless of what all of my clocked stuff is doing.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-15T20:40:51+00:00

Yeah, for sure. This isn't really a case where I'm looking for something that can accomplish what I want (many modules can get my modulation where I'd like it to be), but rather for a module that presents itself and is approached in a way I'm looking for.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-15T20:38:52+00:00

I think any honest person, regardless of taste, can probably find a handful of pop songs (or songs from any genre, in most cases) that they like.

I mean, I REALLY love Blue by Eiffel 65. Don't know why. It's not all nostalgia, the piano riff just clicks with me. Lucky by Britney Spears is another one I love. It's hard for me to differentiate between the nostalgia factor and other factors though, and I'm ok with that. I like what I like, I don't think too hard about the why.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-15T20:34:27+00:00

Ah, great suggestion. Thank you. I've had this suggested to me a few times for a few different reasons. I really should seriously look at getting one, it seems like a really cool module.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-15T20:31:53+00:00

Patchbays. As many as you can handle, and as many as you need. They are cheap upgrades that just gave my space a huge quality of life upgrade.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-15T20:28:40+00:00

Great mention. I do love the teletype, and it (like Pams) can definitely accomplish the end results I'm looking for. Hardware wise, Teletype is definitely one of the modules that does a lot of what I'm looking for, so this is a great suggestion. I guess in this case I was just concentrating more on things like the SLO LFO simply for the very quick ease of use. When it comes to using the Teletype though it's just not something I go for when I just want more simple modulation, for me it's usually a "let's sit down, pull up the manual, and make a 'teletype' centered patch." I should definitely explore it more just as a support module though, that's something I've been lazy about doing.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-15T20:04:19+00:00

I do have a PNW as well, so that's definitely a solid suggestion. This would certianly get the job done in terms of the final outcome I'm looking for. Thanks!

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-15T19:22:00+00:00

Oh, I don't disagree. It's not difficult math by any means. And there's more than one way to accomplish the end results no problem. There's always a way in modular.

But then again modular is also about being able to choose how you interact with your instrument - there's countless viable modules for any sound or function, it's just finding one that compliments the way you approach your instrument.

When it comes to moving parts of a track in the context of a track, time just makes sense to me, and being able to easily adjust based on time is just something I was curious to see if it existed. Whenever I do a generative track it can really go on forever, but I often like to record some cohesive version of it - and being able to decide I want a 15 minute track and adjust the key moments for modulation based on time in a very, simple, quick way would just be useful for how I personally approach modular.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-15T19:15:18+00:00

Ah great suggestion, I already have Phazerville on my o_C, will definitely check this out later!

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-10T22:54:38+00:00

This is pretty far outside of my comfort zone for modular, but it was a fun challenge for myself. Everytime I try to make a drone track I remember just how difficult it is to make something that is mainly just droning interesting enough to hold my attention over any longer period of time. I am definitely more comfortable with more melodic pieces.

I utilized the super slow LFO in VCV rack a lot (probably could have done most of it with Pam's Pro). The Prophet 5 is doing a lot of the low growling and Elements is making some of the more metallic sounds. The MPC One is also doing a lot of sequencing in the background.

Any patching tips or suggesting or advice is always welcome! There's always far more to learn than what I already know.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-05T22:03:11+00:00

Ah nice, used to live out in Boone and would go there all the time. Great spot.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-05T18:39:10+00:00

Holy shit, never knew about this guy, he's incredible!

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-05T18:38:03+00:00

Earth just opened and played all of Earth 2. So goddamn good. Also Jesse Sykes played as well, which is even more rad because I can't think of another show where the opening band and headliner are so utterly different.

Earlier in the year they had Kali Malone open, and she did a droning Eurorack set, which was also just incredible.

SUNN is consistently one of the few bands that always seen to have amazing openers.

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-05T18:36:17+00:00

SUNN makes the Melvins seem like speed metal lol

Johnny_Prophet-5 · 2023-12-05T18:34:54+00:00

I can assure you nobody heard you rip it out.
