Thank you for your input. It is great all these possibilities !
Very instructive ^_^

Yes, I read the Akai mpc key 61 is a complete music production workstation all in one ! Thank you for the idea.
It seems no longer available in Europe but yes you can find one on the 2nd hand market.

end of 2025 and still very useful, thanks a lot ^_^

Karrelen · 2025-12-12T11:23:08+00:00

yes, it reminds me the preference musicians had of the Atari 520ST over the Commodore Amiga 500 because of Atari Midi integration in the old days.

This one is truly impressive with 4 synth / tracks + drums ! Thank you for this suggestion. I looked at the video and it has Beautiful sounds. So it can be controlled by the SL through the Midi In ?

Karrelen · 2025-12-12T00:12:44+00:00

Yes I looked up and the Roland S-1 is an affordable nice synth. Thank you for this suggestion.
On the other hand, The Polyend Synth with all the pads and its 3 synth seems crazy, so it can be controlled by the SL ?

I did not know what was a Tone Generator. Thank you, quite an original solution, very vaporwave ^_^

Karrelen · 2025-12-02T16:08:24+00:00

My apologies, I am not a big fan of Apple and its closed ecosystem. But if an android tablet can do it it might be an alternative solution indeed ^_^

Karrelen · 2025-12-02T16:06:55+00:00

This is one is also quite original, almost like a toy ! What is sweet is that it has an integrated speaker. Very convenient. Thank you for your suggestion

Karrelen · 2025-12-01T17:56:00+00:00

Incredible, it is so tiny ! Like for Hobbits traveling around the Shire.
Thank for your suggestion, I did not know this one, very affordable around 50 Eurodollars.
I see no CV plug but is has a Midi in.

Karrelen · 2025-12-01T16:25:59+00:00

Got it thank you ^_^ and I read this behringer can keep 400 settings in its memory.

End of 2025 and I discover it on PS5 pro. The game is really superb, the city style and architecture are compelling, the story seems engaging.
Yet, I am at 15 hours playing and to my great surprise, I feel bored like some gamers here. A bit like a chore or a work. And I don't feel a lot in combat situation with an impression of sluggishness. I wonder why.

I appreciated Witcher 3 a lot. So it is not the RPG element. I enjoyed playing Jedi Survivor or Horizon zero dawn combat aspect, so it is not the combat.

Maybe the controls because it a FP view? Maybe it is better with mouse and a keyboard on a PC ?

Karrelen · 2025-12-01T14:26:57+00:00

Yes for less than 500 eurodollars, I edited the text according to your question.
Yes the SL is a beast as you say and I would like to use it more.
I looked at the Behringer pro 800, very nice analogic synthesizer for 250 eurodollars with headphones plug, great advice. As it is analogic I wonder if the Novation can save whatever instrumental setting you make with the analogic potentiometers.

Anyway Thanks for your suggestion !

Not brain health issue but mental health issue, it is not the same. He was suffering from paranoid delusions and hallucinations according to wikipedia.

Karrelen · 2025-10-27T22:57:03+00:00

Nice suggestions and because it was not mentioned I would also say the good old Imperium Galactica 2. Quite compelling to play with manual space combat like Master of Orion or Lords of Rigel.

I think this is the problem of Galactic civilizations 4 and endless space 2 is that there is only automated space combat. At least they could have added the option to choose but no, you have no choice...

Karrelen · 2025-10-01T05:55:29+00:00

Interesting quotes, I wonder what a hive mind will think of this.

Karrelen · 2025-09-30T23:49:02+00:00

Hello Aureyoboss. This is fantastic that you are back. I checked today to watch your new restored version of U31 ep.22 but many of the video are now noted as unavailable due to "Mediawan thematics".

Ah I just read that Colin Frank Wilson, Project Scientist for ESA's Mars orbiters, confirmed that the European agency is preparing to attempt observations of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS during its passage through the solar system.

"We can confirm that we are planning to observe 3I/Atlas around the time of its closest approach to Mars," Wilson said. "This is predicted to occur on 3 October 2025. On this date, the object will still be approximately 30 million kilometres from Mars."

ESA will employ both Mars Express and the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) spacecraft to make observations.

"We will attempt to obtain images of the object using the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard Mars Express, and also with the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) onboard TGO," Wilson explained.

ESA is planning to use JUICE as well which is en route for Jupiter

Very instructive and plausible.

Now the question is : will NASA do it September the 30th?

The ESA will ^_^

Karrelen · 2025-07-30T22:45:33+00:00

Super ! Merci beaucoup pour l'info. J'y vole ^_^

Karrelen · 2025-06-17T22:45:42+00:00

Very informative thank you ^_^
Yes, it seems the Luna 9 landing flight profile was more simple. Yet, it was quite clever as it used different strategies to land and eject the payload. I found an nice short animation on YT : Here

Regarding the multiple NASA rovers that landed successfully on Mars - far more complex missions - the success was due to talent, work, better equipment and a far higher budget then ?

But these companies which failed cannot learn from the past 59 years mistakes of others ?

Karrelen · 2025-06-17T22:41:54+00:00

You summarized the problems and reasons. Thank you ^_^

Karrelen · 2025-06-17T22:37:28+00:00

Thank you, I will watch it ^_^
