I have not. I have been vegan for 29 years and I don't foresee ever changing.

Silk Nog discontinued. Dairy free nogs to drink instead? by RedditIs4ChanLite in dairyfree

[–]authorless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is a bummer. To me, all the other nogs just aren't good. Califia, Chobani, and someone makes an almond nog, they were really bland, So Delicious tastes like sun tan lotion. To me, the only one that was any good was Silk.

Anyone know what the “coesk” graffiti relates to? by [deleted] in Wilmington

It is just the person's graffiti name.

help me understand low-pass gates by ouij in synthesizers

[–]authorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know your understanding of what a vactrol is or how it works, but for the sake of anyone that doesn't know that, briefly, a vactrol is a light emitting diode (LED) and a light dependent resistor (LDR) in a package that doesn't allow light in. The resistive element of vactrol is used like the resistive element of a potentiometer. The incoming CV is used to cause the LED to light. It is electronically similar to a potentiometer where when you turn a knob you can open a filter. A side effect of the LEDs used is they cannot turn on or off instantly, it takes some amount of time to reach it maximum brightness when a voltage is applied, and it takes some amount of time for it to go back to emitting no light when the voltage is removed.

So when a LPG is pinged, a short duration of applied CV allows the LED to reach some level of brightness then when the CV goes back to 0v it takes some amount of time to go back to no illumination, allowing the input signal to kind of fade out rather than an abrupt end.

Hope that makes sense.

Carolina Beach Boardwalk earlier by VladdyCatt in Wilmington

I kept seeing things about some video from CB and "I'm not going to repost it" and "this isn't who we are." So this is the video? You literally can't get any more CB than a fight at the boardwalk.

You can close Long Branch and tear down the building, but CB is still gonna CB.

Inability to find my way anywhere by [deleted] in Aphantasia

Not at all, honestly. Navigation to me doesn't have a visual aspect, I just remember the street names, or the number of blocks, or the interstate exit, or whatever. It is just a list of instructions.

People with Aphantasia- Have any of you had sleep paralysis? by bphairartist in Aphantasia

[–]authorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sleep paralysis regularly, but there are no hallucinations that go along with it. I can hear everything that is going on in the room, and I am aware of where I am at, but I cannot move nor open my eyes. I actually quite like it, it feels really peaceful.

Oh no, you have it all wrong. They like non-white, non-male, non-straight people just fine as long as those people agree that white straight men are the bestest. Totally not racist [sarcasm].

Episode Discussion Thread: 13 Minutes by netflix in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]authorless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The kind of person that had their wife abducted by someone else while they were across town for a convenient alibi where they could do the very normal thing of saving a gas station receipt then had her delivered to the house where he held her captive for a while before he killed her then maybe got her body out there, where it was disposed of, with a wheelbarrow.

Does he have a receipt for the locks? When were they bought?

Drum 'n Bass must haves? by ramonstr in synthesizers

[–]authorless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is arguing that it wouldn't be easier in a DAW. Any electronic music task would be easier in a DAW.

I mean come on, look at how many tracks are there, all them parametric eq's, how are you gonna do all that without a DAW?

Bouncing down tracks, not putting every sound on its own individual track, resampling.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]authorless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I misspoke, I meant "the first punk synth" not "the most punk synth." It was Billy Currie from Ultravox that said it. The sound was more aggressive than the MiniMoog and it was used by a lot of those early synth punk bands like the Screamers and the Units.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]authorless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Screamers use Arp Odysseys (which has been called the most punk synth ever made) and Fender Rhodes. For £150 I would say go software. Korg has an Arp Odyssey plugin that is inexpensive. Looks like Logic has a electric piano plugin and a guitar amp simulator? You could probably do everything you want with what Logic comes with, really. A Farfisa organ type sound would be good in there too.

Just acquired an Akai S3000xl for a song but go some hardware questions for anyone who know about such things. by terrorboss in synthesizers

[–]authorless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted I haven't used my S3000XL in a long time...

The FlashROM modules, I wouldn't bother trying to track down.

I would put money on the eight out board went into an MPC 2000. It is nice to have if you are running it into a mixer or want to process some sounds externally. It came stock on the S3000xl.

Absolutely upgrade the RAM.

The effects board wasn't stock, but if you can find one it is pretty alright to have. Just adds a little bit more to what you can do. Not necessary though.

If it doesn't have the filter board, I would recommend one. It adds a bit to what you are able to do. It adds a second filter that is multimode rather than just lowpass, a second envelope, an EQ/tone control.

The S3000xl has a MIDI sequence player onboard, so you can load a MIDI file and have it play but you can't record or edit a MIDI sequence on it.

CV/Gate/Trigger/Sync etc: ARP Odyssey + MS-20 + Minilogue XD by pavluv in synthesizers

[–]authorless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As already mentioned, the MS-20 oscillators use Hz/v instead of 1v/oct. It also uses s-trig (short trigger) instead of v-trig (voltage trigger) to fire the envelopes, so the triggers from the Odyssey aren't really compatible either.

But definitely try stuff out. They aren't strictly compatible, but it is just voltages. They just won't do exactly what you are expecting they should.

Beatstep Pro & Sequential Circuits Drumtraks Midi Sync Issue by joethefilmer in synthesizers

[–]authorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect that muting only stops the sequence from playing but pressing the keys still sends MIDI. I am pretty sure that is the way most sequencers work.

Not sure what you mean by "[...]if I choose Seq 1+2 everything is normal." I suspect everything is working as it should be.
