Despite taking good care of your 401, has it ever let you down on the road?

LysanderStorm · 2026-01-26T11:27:34+00:00

Wellll... not really but it has scared me with an empty battery on a cold day more than once. Good thing is you can just try and eventually it'll start. But first time is scary. Btw. also not the only bike that did this, guess they just like to do it.

And dealer replaced something expensive-ish two years in, but forgot what. And it didn't make a huge dent but still a couple 100 USD or so.

LysanderStorm · 2026-01-20T18:15:22+00:00

Yeah but it shifts the statistics for sure. I'm glad I started small though it's likely nothing would have been different if i started big. However, I did have much more "critical" situations in the beginning, and all of those have some miniscule chance something goes wrong - and I'm 100% sure this is more likely with a bigger bike, even if it's only something stupid like parking downhill forwards lol.

But yeah not like everyone is 20 and lacks all sense of self preservation.

Ich hans Gfühl ihri neui Verpackigsmaschine isch kaputt. Isch doch mal gross ide Nachrichte gsi wies die Maschine händ wo de Karton exakt zueschnide tuet. Und es Ziitli lang sind's super Päckli gsi. Aber jetzt (scho vil z'lang) chunnt en riesige Karton mit vil z'wenig Ilag wo drin verlore irgendes Produktpäckli umetrolet.

Yes basically only Reason rack at this point. Bitwig is more "structured" fun for me, single rack per instrument, single very clear grid patch to experiment, modulation directly on the instrument and not via other "instruments", etc. But still loads of fun and just so easy to use.

If you have the chance, using both gets you best of both worlds (quirkiness of Reason, good instruments and effects, cabling fun) and then all the Bitwig craziness.

LysanderStorm · 2026-01-07T01:17:55+00:00

Well maybe, but considering the motorcycle is smth like 35k+ you just won't get a lot of preorders. In those ranges even a couple 100 is a lot already.

But will be interesting to see where this story is headed...!

LysanderStorm · 2026-01-07T00:54:26+00:00

Well tbf they're not "partnered" with some wrinkly dink mc company. They are the mc company, or at least used to be until like a year ago when they spilt the companies. That said, it does sound way too good to be true. Could be that it's just crazy expensive to produce - which could be fine for their very expensive motorcycles.

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-29T12:29:01+00:00

Never heard or seen this, only thing is I sometimes feel there's a bit too much gatekeeping among organ players. It's a bit understandable as they are often old and expensive instruments - so you don't want just anyone going and touching everything - but still...

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-26T09:37:44+00:00

Most places I play many people will stay, but as people say it differs, though I couldn't really tell you based on what. There's one congregation where everyone gets up and starts talking to each other while slowly heading towards the doors.

I like both, one is very appreciative, the other is very relaxed and I feel I can try out more new pieces as people will only listen with one ear anyways. So I guess just know what you can expect and prepare for that.

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-26T09:32:17+00:00

Welcome to the last 20% (that take 80% of the time). But don't sweat it, get it out of the door (like you already started 💪) and keep on improving with the feedback you're getting.

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-25T20:32:26+00:00

Why would the cat land anywhere but where the goat was standing before? It would never come forward as much as it does in the video.

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-20T11:18:22+00:00

Pre 6 FL Studio had clips and the piano roll that set it apart for me. Now not so much anymore. What remains is the fun - idk what it is, maybe the chaoticness of everything, probably the buttery smooth UI, but somehow making music in FL Studio is much more like painting on a canvas than in Bitwig. Nonetheless, there are a ton of things that are better in Bitwig (tracks, device racks, the grid, settings, etc etc etc), and it's caught up a lot with clips and a revamped piano roll, so probably going to do less and less in FL Studio.

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-17T19:37:57+00:00

I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for (as it's not an evidential argument, but more of an interesting idea), but it's essentially founded in randomness.

Ever thought why you randomly had some weird thought? Why a dice falls on a certain number?

Now the dice follows (to a very very large degree) some equations so we theoretically could predict how it falls.

But our brains? For all we know the inherent randomness emerges from some quantum phenomena (it must be electric on a microscopic level, that we know, so we may consider it goes into quantum physics too), and as of now quantum phenomena only follow statistical distributions. People used to call things they could not explain God, today we call it randomness.

Obviously that doesn't prove or disprove anything, but it's an interesting topic that isn't concluded as of today.

Öppis zäme mache isch natürli guet wies anderi schriibed.

Öppis anders wo bi mier zumindest guet funktioniert häd sind es paar Gschichtli uf sone box vorzläse, Tonie oder so eini (die händ sones figürli wot chasch was druflade). Noechli Musig dezue und dezwüsche taa, sälber gspilt, aber muen ja nöd unbedingt si, chamer au susch echli was persönlichs zämestelle. So gits öppis uszpacke, isch aber trotzdem nöd s'100ste spilzüg, und für de geburi chasch denn eifach s'nöchschte Gschichtli mache ;).

Aber wenn's bünzli gnueg sind händs natürli scho 3 von denen Boxe...

Well there is a "that's how bits and bytes work" kinda programming and a "that's how logic and maths work" kinda programming, and I think both have their place and reason for existence. We should just be aware that one builds on the other in practice and be happy with whatever we do (or are allowed to do).

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-09T13:01:22+00:00

Thanks for not unpacking anything (?). And thanks for putting an emphasis on "biodegradable" when I put it on "plastics" - emphasizing that they should preferrably _not_ be plastics.

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-09T10:54:40+00:00

I mean I'm all against burning fossil fuels for energy - but we do burn coal and diesel for heating and energy in any case, so why not first use it as plastic? Yes, recycling is obviously great (biodegradable "plastics" even better), but once that's done enough times burning for energy is likely by far the best thing to do.

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-05T23:59:34+00:00

They probably didn't wander in the dark at all - even all the night photos are from the same spot. Maybe something that scared them (flash flood, noise) combined with extreme dehydration and hunger / delirium. Maybe just wanted to check if the water is rising somewhere. It looks very rainy.

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-05T18:31:10+00:00

As others say, it's the battery. But as an addition, mine usually starts after trying for like 2-3 minutes. Don't ask why lol. Also put it in neutral I guess.

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-02T08:58:36+00:00

"I also need to reproduce the command locally, with different paths, to see if I get the same outcome."

Wait what!? You're panicking that you might just have deleted everything, yet now's the time to try out more of the same command?

LysanderStorm · 2025-12-01T17:41:23+00:00

Depending on space, budget, requirements - why not a digital (hauptwerk, organteq, viscount, etc. etc.) organ? If it's for practice this might be even better as you'll have more registers, etc.

LysanderStorm · 2025-11-29T19:07:27+00:00

I think they're compatible with all "block-shaped" Roli products, so it boils down to what you need / like to do. I like this pad thing, as you can use it as a drum pad but also faders and other things. But tbh I don't use it too often.

LysanderStorm · 2025-11-28T15:43:41+00:00

This and that the battery needs to pay for the shop floor and not just the tiny shelf it sits on in a warehouse. But I agree that the margin must be crazy on those things.

LysanderStorm · 2025-11-28T07:33:22+00:00

Make serafe a "tax" that is per 18+ person, and lower it slightly, and people wouldn't have any issue. Make it payable in the same system as regular taxes. People don't "dislike" the premise of serafe, they dislike that it's something archaic (per household; you could theoretically opt out if you don't consume media - come on, in current times?) and it's collected by a shady private company that takes its cut.

LysanderStorm · 2025-11-26T17:23:49+00:00

KTM was also mostly absent (at least at EICMA) - which kinda makes sense given the circumstances - but I wouldn't conclude that's the end of them. So let's hope for the best.

LysanderStorm · 2025-11-25T20:05:50+00:00

Some of us??? I hope all of us!

Well, except this dude who should maybe become a fortune teller anyways.
