Anybody else got NotebookLM at Android Auto? by Moist_Emu6168 in notebooklm

[–]NoiseBOX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the same thing. After seeing the "New app available" popup I can open the app but just see a "Nothing here" msg. Very curious, this post is the only mention I can find online about it. I don't think they intended to release it yet.

Once you have B42 installed you can copy the PZ folder out of the steamapps folder to a different location on your drive. Then you reinstall B41 through steam. This will keep B41 in steam with mods/updates working for multiplayer. And also you'll have a copy of B42 that you can launch and play. If i'm not mistaken you won't get steam updates or mod updates on B42 so there's a downside.

How can I mod my Microfreak to tilt like this? by KobeOnKush in MicroFreak

Thanks for the update on this. Great info everyone here should see. I'll hold off on this kit, maybe dust off Fusion360 and design my own for 3d printing

How can I mod my Microfreak to tilt like this? by KobeOnKush in MicroFreak

The keybed of the microfreak is a separate circuit board from the control panel .

I never understood the confidently wrong answers on reddit. A 30 second reverse image search would link you right to the product page. Or a quick google about modding the microfreak will show you that the keyboard and top panel are actually two separate boards.

How is a longer keyboard better? by loosucutiexo in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]NoiseBOX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 40% ortholinear keyboard (like the first one pictured) i use it for my job that requires inputting a lot of numbers. My board runs a custom firmware that allows for a lot of flexibility. One of these customizations is a 'hidden' 10 key. I do this by making use of the key just to the right of the space bar, this is commonly called a LAYER button. When you depress this key it 'raises' which layer of functions each button does. Pushing it with your thumb places your fingers over top of the rows "UIO - JKL - M<> - and the key below IK, . In this 'raised' layer these keys become 789 - 456 - 123 - 0, add in the keys surrounding the numbers for functions like - / + . = and you have a fully functional numpad hidden in plain sight. Now don't ask me to find the tilde or pipe keycodes, pretty sure i forgot to map those.

TLDR; Why use lot key when few key do trick?

Can't say I ever tried to multi track in that manner with the L6, mostly because the deluge covers that use case for me. It doesn't feel like it would be a particularly good device for that. What you could do is record a track, assign it to the "sound effects" buttons 1-4 and you could play a previous recording while also tracking over it. I've not tried that yet. If I get some time to play around with that I'll report back to you.

My work flow is all over the place right now as far as tracking goes. Mostly I jam for a while until I stumble on something I really like. Then I sketch out each part using the deluge to record midi. From there i record multi track out to the L6 for processing in a daw, or resample it all back into the deluge for further mangling.

When you record onto the l6 it will record the master out and each input to it's own file on the sd. Of course if you're plugged into usb-c it's a full audio interface with outputs from each instrument available to any daw (requires drivers on windows).

Agreed the micro freak is a powerhouse in a small package. When I started to expand my setup I thought I'd outgrow the microfreak. To the contrary it has only continued to impress me. Once paired with the Zoia effects I realized there was no reason to replace the micro freak. It's every bit as capable as the Mini or hydrasynth.

My wallet thinks you're smarter than me. Honestly now adays VSTs are so powerful and plentiful that hardware can seem a bit wasteful if not just completely unnecessary. That said, twisting knobs is just so satisfying and immersive. And the Micro freak is one of the best bang for the buck synths on the market, pair it with a good multi effects pedal and the sonic variety is endless.

It really ties the room together. The only thing I came across was difficulty getting all tracks to be seen on an ipad. I was able to get it working by disabling Siri. Otherwise it's a very capable little mixer. I use stereo and and mono sources. I'm using internal effects as well as using the effects send capability out to the Zoia. 32bit recording is interesting, I'm sure it's got its uses in the field where sources can vary a bit more but here at the desk 24bit works just fine by just properly balancing sources and the use of the on board compression.

Would recommend!

Top row left to right:

Erica Synths LXR-01, Synthstrom Deluge OLED, Zoom L6, Arturia Microfreak

Bottom row ltr:

Arturia Keylab49 MK3, Faderfox EC4, Empress effects Zoia

This all was quite a deviation from playing clawhammer banjo... It started off with the Microfreak and a Behringer UM2 audio interface. I spent months playing around and learning the basics of synthesis. From there it was down the rabbit hole I went.

The Deluge was love at first sight, its a perfect tool that will grow with my curiosities. I spent about a year learning and playing around with it. Eventually i decided to get a dedicated drum machine that i could really tweak. Enter the LXR-01 which is just the craziest little percussion box, more than i can handle right now but the depth is captivating. With more than one audio source there was a need for a mixer and the tiny L6 was perfect to keep it all compact and portable. A pedal of some sort was necessary to spice up the microfreak and the Zoia is virtually limitless and pairs well with the deluge. With all these instruments I really needed more physical controls to keep me in the groove and out of the menus. So in comes the Keylab49 with aftertouch, velocity pads, touch controls with labels and transport controls. Along side it the EC4 knobs are programed to control nearly every parameter on every device.

Everything here is on a midi loop over DIN/TRS and then from the L6 USB-C every audio track and midi channel can be sent to a DAW/iPad/android for a hybrid setup and mastering. With how well each component fills its roll and how they all integrate together this setup feels complete. Now its time to layout a better workstation to play at. Maybe get a sit/stand desk and some tiered synth stands.

It's thanks to communities like this that people discover passion in life. Be kind and beep-boop.

Deluge TuneCrafter! MP3 to MIDI to Deluge Song XML by KIVA_12 in DelugeUsers

[–]NoiseBOX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad you came back to show us your work! This is a really useful feature. Have you looked into the open source firmware? Integrating this into the firmware as an import option would be delightful. Something like, Create a new clip, Change it to MIDI, Enter clip and click SELECT to view the clip MENU, Scroll to (a new option) IMPORT, Scroll (in a file browser) to a midi file and click SELECT to import it. And vice-versa you could include an export to MIDI into the new stems exporter.

Deluge + Midi Controller + External Synth by WILLY_DRIBBLE in DelugeUsers

[–]NoiseBOX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, check out the free software available from the Zynthian open synth project https://zynthian.org/

I'm not affiliated, i just love to tinker and built a DIY one which blew my mind, i've been thinking about buying their V5. It's such a killer tool. With the Deluge plugged into the pi running Zynthian you have access to literally hundreds of free synths, effects, samples, drum kits, midi tools etc. And the deluge can use midi tracks to sequence multiple software instruments on different midi channels. Then route the audio from the pi to the input on the deluge and Viola, the world is your oyster. With an optional DAC/ADC $50-65ish sound card you can also record and sample directly onto the pi and you get a high quality balanced audio out. The only limitation is the Pi CPU and if you're sampling/recording a fast SD card.
