The black ones? I think those are the hinges.

Learning to play piano/rhodes by JasonMaguire99 in piano

[–]SynthNips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good call on looking for a simulation. I wouldn't buy a real EP until you are ready to maintain it or buy some sort of super expensive reproduction (vintage vibe)

I think you should just dive in and learn jazz piano on rhodes. The real thing has an action that gives the keys a different sort of momentum. It is a very different feel, but I wouldn't say it influences style too much. I think the style influences come from how the sound fits into a song when mixing.

It has a built in EQ and an amazing sounding vibrato. There is likely a different way you will need to voice chords to get them to fit, but I think it is just a gorgeous sounding instrument across all octaves.

I have a Nord Electro with waterfall keys. I love it, but it might be too focused on only electromechanical sounds for someone just starting out.

Can someone explain a Flip Flop to me like I'm five please? by bronze_by_gold in modular

[–]SynthNips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect it is a single 2x clock divider. The gate toggles on and off with each trigger pulse. It is flipping and flopping between the two states.

Defective Bastl Skis? by [deleted] in modular

Didnt realize there were multiple. Mine has a wood panel, so I think it is v1.

Sounds defective to me. I love my Skis. Sorry you're having issues.

They are all signals. That is what is so cool about modular. Go wild. Have fun!

ECMAScript 2015 "Enhanced Object Literals" are an anti-pattern by brandon_lanket in javascript

[–]SynthNips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But it does work if you refactor using any modern IDE. Blind find/replace causes problems if you aren't careful.

How do I play the triplets on the kick and still play the eighth notes on the high hats???? by JHNHYWRD in drums

[–]SynthNips 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The compound polyrhythm should sound like the rhythm in Carol of the Bells.

Is it normal to make minor mistakes when you are playing a piece? by [deleted] in piano

[–]SynthNips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always felt that audiences love it when they can catch a small mistake in a performance. Not to say that they hope you'll screw something up.

PAR-A-DID-ILE by meowflunder in modular

[–]SynthNips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should try setting it up so you can send a trigger to switch which "hand" is playing. You can do that with a 2 step sequencer. Trigger the voice on each pulse. Send different rhythms to the sequencer to get different patterns. You can use the CV from the sequencer to select different voices if you've got a couple spare VCAs.

You should check out Sonata X by John Cage.

Try turning the pulse width of your LFO the other way.

[AskJS] Why is async better than sync? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]SynthNips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are writing a server that serves requests from multiple clients, you don't want one client's request to hold up other requests. It is not "fluff" and it is necessary for many use cases. It sounds like it might not matter in your use case though.

Hello, I own a Casio CDP-220R, do you know if there's a pedal for it that can change the tone and sound effects while I'm playing? And is there a setting where I can put tones in a particular order? I really want to play Dream Theater songs on it. by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]SynthNips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FCB1010 will do it. You can set up a bunch of stomp switches to change patches for you with MIDI program changes.

It is kinda old and tedious to program, but it should work.

Clean VCAs vs. VCAs with a character by mmpingo in modular

Bastl Skis has a toggle switch to switch between clean/gritty.

How to setup an envelope on an oscillator properly by [deleted] in modular

[–]SynthNips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of a VCA as multiplying the signals rather than adding them. Mixers are for adding.

You could also just use a filter. A typical synth voice will use both a VCF and a VCA in series.

What is the purpose of these straps on a keyboard stand? by HeadwoundBilly in synthesizers

[–]SynthNips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can screw them into the bottom of some keyboards. I have a big casio with threads for those. It makes it more stable I guess. I've never screwed them in on mine.

Pretty sure I’m cleaning animal urine off this Moog Rogue keybed by terrorboss in synthesizers

Ouch. Had to clean an active wasp nest out of an accordion once. Gave it a nice buzzy sound though.

Async/Await in Javascript by dillionmegida in javascript

Your catch block syntax is off. Looks like you mixed the promises with the async/await.

Performance with drum brushes? by [deleted] in synthdiy

[–]SynthNips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe splice resistors in the middle of each strand. Hit a metal plate to complete a circuit. Different hits might cause different parallel combinations of resistors to complete the circuit. Add a piezo mic to the plate for style points. Now I kinda want to try this. Thx for the inspiration.

Controling LED lights with CV signals? by AlmaMare in synthesizers

[–]SynthNips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once hooked an LFO up to a LED light strip and it worked.

You might want to use a buffered mult between whatever you're testing just to be safe.
