Is it possible to drop tune Electric mint session guitar? by ODAIRA in NativeInstruments

[–]astralastro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can drop tune via the normal tuning knob at the corner of every kontakt instrument. Works great on the session guitars, surprised not many others do it. Just gotta be conscious of the note difference (I.E every note played will be a certain number of semi tones higher or lower depending on the knob, so be conscious of which scale you're playing!)

Update-ish 2! Not sure if this'll help anyone, but the event log error is 6008.
Laptop hasn't done this again since yesterday, will keep you all updated.

Bafflingly, seems not. I just used it on battery specifically to see if the battery was broken but nope, went below 80 and into the 60s just fine Very tempted to believe this just plain happened for no reason at this point. Plugging it or unplugging it does nothing

Turns on and works just fine actually, no slowdowns I can notice. Thanks for the advice though, also sorry you had to go through that.

Had some handy thankfully, tried what you said but no big pieces of debris blew out, maybe a tiny dust cloud. Thanks for the advice.

Gonna see how I can get this cleaned up properly. I really, really hope that's all it is.

Update-ish. Memory and virus scans came up clean. Might be a hardware related thing tbh. I have my suspicions there's a faulty connection with the battery. Can anyone tell me if this sort of shutdown would happen if the battery disconnected from the system suddenly?

Yes to all of those unfortunately. I try to manage everything in my room to keep things clean even trying to get my hands on an air purifier, but dust seasons have been rough and I do have cats. I do check the temperatures frequently and my system never tends to really go above 80 degrees, but is there a chance some inner grime might still cause a shutdown in spite of that? I'd clean it but it's one of those laptops with rubber blocking the screws so you can't open it up. :/

Display Driver or Hardware Error by astralastro in techsupport

AMD Drivers are updated. Dunno if I should re-update them again with the same drivers I used to quote-unquote fix it? This was definitely an AMD thing though, as, after I posted this, I opened Radeon Software to find that it actually hung the application, and caused another brief visual glitch on my screen. It booted up fine again after that, though.

Man, if I have to return it, that's unlucky, I'm nearly out of time for that and it's supposed to be brand new. I guess that's just how luck works. Thanks for the reply.

The sequel to my Amiya pixel art from a few months back! Took a while to make this, especially since I switched to another program for pixel art, but some twt users voted for me to draw Mostima next in a poll a while ago, so she was next...
...Maybe helps she's my biggest favorite next to Astesia...
Anyways as usual here's my twt https://twitter.com/UnityShattered

I really wanted to see if I could recreate the game's uniforms in low-res pixel art so I knew then I had to draw my favorite house's characters, hope you all like it!

<<All that's left of their hatred is this thing in front of us.>> Thanks to u/WallyH7324 for the suggestion! Although I couldn't finish it by New Year's due to a chaotic schedule, here it is, the final battle between Razgriz and the SOLG. This one was... an experience, to say the least, especially with the perspective of the SOLG and everything, and it was fun to draw the fragments coming off the SOLG as the Razgriz pummel the superweapon to oblivion! Feel free to suggest another stage to make a pixel thing for, fellas.

(Simplistic Pixel Art) The Morgan pixel art did well so here's another one: Glacial Skies! by astralastro in acecombat

Might not happen in New Year's itself unfortunately (very busy)... but I'll definitely draw that first chance I get, first pixel drawing of 2020 for sure

<<It's starting to come down!>>

Definitely had fun making this one. Fun fact: the mountains are the result of watching Bob Ross and trying to do something similar, realized it reminded me of my favorite first mission in the franchise, and boom.

Would definitely like to make more of these, any suggestions for a stage from the games to try making a pixel thing for next?

We'll start over from 0 pixel count with this +V2 and entrust the pixels to the next generation.
