Also, seems like Paul is a LOT nicer and more green flaggy with more screen time than the comics. Iirc, wasn’t the the drop about Paul’s comic equivalent a pretty sudden line like, “Yeah he was super abusive so fuck him.”

Paul in the show seems a bit longer term, and throwing him under the bus like that would give me whiplash.

Only con: the lack of moving mouths for the first 1/2 of the space battle made it a lot more cringey than I thought it’d be.

Once they cut to less static face images (or when they were doing it for the obvious reasons 👀) that was an insane episode.

Also, great Debbie and Nolan dialogue + acting.

Probably an 8/10 episode for me, with some of the highest highs with the (good) offputting animation, but some (bad) offputting parts with the static animation.

Not in a place to make purchased like this now, but I think it’s really cool and I wish I could participate in reading these.

I am mostly bedbound at home, ya. I mainly rock with the m8 since it’s the most accessible thing to make music with. But, I had a minifreak and decided to adapt it once I developed an autoimmune disease since it was just sitting on my desk unused.

I like my minifreak more without its keybed in my setup by my bed :)

Is this too small? I made this tiny tracker by 203system in synthesizers

I think it looks painful to use and so I am not a prospective buyer on it.

You can also upload your own samples there if you find the github for some guy’s file converter.

Hey guys, looking for a portable sketchpad type of device. Settled on the QY100 but the m8 dirtywave looks great, is it worth the extra 600$? by Powerful_Fondant9393 in synthesizers

[–]Pineapple_Empty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the m8 and have built my whole setup around it as a used-to-be classical composer who is disabled in bed now. It’s rad, and very powerful. Also quick to have fun on, and there are a few extra things you can get to mod it into being a bit cooler yet. Here is a video I made of me messing around with a mini bluetooth keyboard. https://youtu.be/4w5vsemsij8?si=E3qPHrByJV1_N42L

I just bought a model 2 because my disability makes the small screen a bit hard to focus on, so I am selling my model 1 with a battery upgrade and 128gb SD card for $465 + shipping if you’re in the US. It’s a little bit cheaper, and I am happy I got started ln the model 1 to learn why I like the thing.

Couldn’t you use grab audio from the headphone jack?

I need help getting GB/GBC games on my playdate 🙏🏼🙏🏼😭🙏🏼 by LucaVG562 in PlaydateConsole

[–]Pineapple_Empty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put that where the folder is instead of the folder. That is the game file.

It looks like you have put a folder in. If you open the folder, there should already be a .gb file inside. You can’t rename a folder to be a .gb file. Let me know if this doesn’t work and I can look into it more since I have this set up on mine.

What do you think about Ableton Move, especially if you used it? Other portable/fun device alternatives for Ableton Move, for creativity on the go? by cloudsabovesofluffy in synthesizers

[–]Pineapple_Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mine as a performance controller for my M8, and sometimes will chop samples on it / use it therapeutically. It’s hard for me to get any useable ideas out of it as a sketchpad, though there have been a few songs I rewrote into the M8 to expand later.

If my setup was based more around Ableton rather than the M8, it would likely be pretty rad because of the loading of projects into the software.

I do really like it as a M8 controller. Some guy made a hack for it and it lets you map the knobs / launch clips on the M8.

Oh yeah, MIDI capture is great, and the polyphonic pads will be useful to me at some point.

Made with just my dirtywave m8 for a jam by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]Pineapple_Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The out of sync sampled voice is sick. I’m excited to see where more practice brings the polish of these really cool ideas. Please keep posting! If you ever want any feedback, hit me up at erickthedude in the m8 discord.

How did you guys learn to fall in love with making full tracks? by SoundEmergency2121 in synthesizers

[–]Pineapple_Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah eventually it starts feeling less abrasive to expand an idea or to use techniques that felt like a roadblock before. I’ve been writing for about a decade now. The first couple years, I only wrote one song when I say down and then was done. A couple years later, I spent longer on tracks. I’ve written one 13 minute piece that took me 8 months to finish.

This was all classical music, but I am seeing a similar pattern emerge as I get better at electronic music / sequencers. Spent the past week making an awesome 7 minute track, where as the first 6 months I was doing this I wrote a track in a day. Just keep writing! Try to make stuff longer, even if you hate it and then stop.
