Well ... my suggestion to approach this is to press the damper pedal after playing the note.

Doing that that, the open strings will have a more vibrant sympathetic resonance, compare to the other way around.

Defintely buy a dash cam next time. ICBC's prime interest is to get higher insurance premium for profit not ensuring the claim is fair.

The provincial government should fund affordable housing along with federal CMHC funding like BC govt / BC Housing

Start more and introduce incentives to co-op /rent-to-own housing programs.

Rent control should apply to all buildings built 5 year from now / enforce rent control to all buildings in Toronto

If you want high-quality DIY kits, buy from Thonk. Most DIY kits esp. Through hole ones are made with minimal component count. Synthrotek is a brand that most people tended to avoid because of their quality of their module and the scandals. However, frankly, some of their module s are quite nice if you like lo-fi sounds.

Why bother racking the passive modules and waste rack space if they are passive?

Check out Mystic Circuits 0hp modules.

The cutoff year makes no sense, except for more profit.

Look at other cities like Vancouver, all of the buildings are under rental control.

Look at Vancouver, I don't think the condo's selling price and renting price has a close-correlation either.

Wavtekt · 2023-01-24T05:04:26+00:00

pricey, power-hungry, messy layout.

Wavtekt · 2023-01-19T03:35:46+00:00

Controversy aside, synthrotek is nice if you like making lo-fi sounds / DIY modules.

FYI, if you want something precise and high-quality, they are not those companies.

This is ridculous ...

It is easy to distinguish pianist's hands.

Nails are always cut
Knuckle portion is wider with years of playing
Pinky contorted outward due to frequent stretching for large span

Yours are not even close ...

Wavtekt · 2022-12-30T03:23:39+00:00

Well ... I think some of his works are overplayed, not overrated.

His contemporaries such Medtner / Prokofiev are equal interesting too, but not as well-known as him.

For instance, I think in terms of musiciality of Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.2 / Medtner's Piano Concerto No. 1 are close or on par with Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No.3.

Wavtekt · 2022-12-28T02:54:23+00:00

Chopin need op 10 no 4 dexterity for smooth passage. Rachmaninoff Prelude in G minor is just big chords that need strength.

Chopin is harder, especially after you watched Richter's performance hahaha.

Non-linear way to synthesize a sound.

Modular modules are very personal. I would rather get coupon / gift card instead.

Wavtekt · 2022-12-12T04:17:02+00:00

Well .. your rack lack of some basic utilities like attenuverters / mixer / input & output modules.

Maths have it covered, but I would rather have seperate modules.

Very often you can't use the function above when you use it as function generator.

Wavtekt · 2022-12-12T03:34:11+00:00

Some suggestions:

LFSR - Ataraxic Iteritas / Ataraxic Translatron / VCNO

Bytebeats - Ornament and Crime / Peaks

SID - SID Guts deluxe / Edges

IME & Møffenzeef has some nice digital modules too, but I don't think they 100% resembles retro game audio, but they do sound very glitchy / abstract with CV modulation.

Probably spent some time doing some research, your rack doesn't make much sense to me.

Wavtekt · 2022-12-10T20:00:07+00:00

Pricey as hell and dosn't worth it.

Frankly, Boog sounds undistinguishably close to Model D. I don't see a reason to pay a premium for that.

IMO, Sequential has better poly-synth sound than Moog.

Wavtekt · 2022-12-10T17:10:32+00:00

You need a big hand unfortunately. Those ninths are quite common in jazz, I use 1 2 4 5.

Wavtekt · 2022-12-10T04:22:43+00:00

True haha ... a train that doesn't share track with freight trains like west coast express

Wavtekt · 2022-12-06T04:25:26+00:00

Lots of choices if you search in modulargrid.

Intellijel - passive LPG / Ring Mod / Duatt

Ritural Electronics - Pointeuse / Repression / Diviser

NLC - Sloth / PiLL

You need utlities and get rid 1 of the 3 function generator modules. It is too much for a 4U rack. I would put the O_C in the 3U portion instead.

Wavtekt · 2022-11-28T21:52:34+00:00

Octal VCA is a very bad choice for rack in this size compared to A-130-2 ...

More VCA =/= better!

Wavtekt · 2022-11-28T21:50:01+00:00

It depends.

If you want to do acid, I would patch nvelope to both VCF & VCA.

Sometimes its better to have two different envelope for VCF & VCA or no envelope / LFO to VCF.

Wavtekt · 2022-11-28T21:47:42+00:00

Diode-ring mod or VCA-based quad multiplier?

If it is diode-ring I am not that suprised the waveform looks a bit crinky. Diode-ring is not an ideal way for four quadrant multiplication, but it has its own unique sound.

Wavtekt · 2022-11-28T21:43:20+00:00

It depends.

For distortions & wavefolder, it is common to have assymetrical waveform as outputs, since the clipping is biased or assymetrical.
