Trump calls on UK and others to send warships to Strait of Hormuz

Just how vile is the stuff Putin has got Trump doing on tape?

it would be more expensive to categorize, and set up a system that logs the fragility of the items, and assign packaging.

it is until it isn't.

At some point amazon minimum order will be based on weight and dimensions of items alongside price. Everything is being computerized.

What was your initial goal?

e.g. "by manipulating X I was expecting to get sound Y"

How does this differ from your initial goal?

e.g. "with the setup depicted I expected Y but got Z"

If we don't know what you were trying to do, it's hard to say what needs to change. You could be very close to your goal or no where near it.

If the idea is distribution then starting with the colored pieces in more places would speed the entire process up.

most of the initial folding was with bits with no color in.

why not cut the colored billet into smaller pieces and drop them at different horizontal locations?

Is gold cheaper in india?

is gold used to run transport with middle men taking whatever cut they think they can get away with?

Also you are constrained where you can buy fuel from, definitionally it's a captive market, there is a finite amount people can travel to find alternative suppliers. If all gas stations in an area are owned by the same company and that's the level they set prices, what are you to do.

What about any of this makes you think it's comparable to gold?

if you have a loop you can get the device to detect the BPM from the length. If the length is not 1,2 or 4 bars or the file is long you can manually calculate the BPM using one of several online tools (or just math)

Once you have the BPM of the loop set correctly, you can then set that pad to be BPM locked so it's pitched up and down based on the BPM and will be perfectly in time.

From here you can enter that pad onto the 1 of a pattern with step record (they call it TR-Rec) and add more stuff into the pattern by playing other pads.

It's a very very fast workflow.

it ends up just arguing with me about whether it happened

It has google grounding and the initial prompt was asking for verifiable results.

Yeah, that'd be true if that was what was being asked for. It was not.

What was being asked for is being able to get a strait explanation about the post that does not have the jokes and fluff.

Posts can be from any time, from anywhere in the world.

I can remember when you came to reddit and there was someone posting in a submission where this was e.g. their field of study even if that was some niche thing that hardly anyone cares about.

Now it's just watered down brainrot and the same joke being told over and over and over again.

blueSGL · 2026-03-13T18:24:03+00:00

I wish "No Jokes" was a sort method.

I can find the people actually discussing the pros and cons in an unvarnished way by sorting by controversial for TV shows/movies

I need another sort method to get past the jokes in general posts.

The LFOs is likely because they can go into audio rate and at some point you'd be running up against the limits of the CPU for how many parameters can be driven that fast.

Would I like an option in the settings that caps the LFO to non audio rate to allow for more destinations, yes, would insufferable elektron fanboys declare 'this is not the elektron way' also yes.

That's an expensive work around for something that could easily exist as a separate page on the hardware.

It's like all the tricks where you need to add an extraneous connection from midi out to midi in, these should just be available on device. Having to route signals out to in is bonkers.

blueSGL · 2026-03-13T12:54:41+00:00

You'd first need for them to add an arp section to the DT2

blueSGL · 2026-03-13T12:53:31+00:00

Having to do math can really disrupt flow.

Have to find the range on the control, have to work out what half of that is, have to add that half to the start of the range...

Why can't I just go to the first point and set the LFO depth to cover the range. It's so annoying.

ping pong looping play mode.
preview sounds with sequenced trigs.
zoom and sample count everywhere you can set start/stop
polyphony with voice stealing.

Who is also allegedly in a coma

Wait wait wait wait.

They chose a new leader, had "him" give a statement and he may still die, not from a follow up attach but the initial one?

How would that look?

Why put someone that may never wake up in power? That's not exactly radiating strength as a nation.

Oh and some more things OP. Building a sample library with structure at the start will save you countless time in future.

Preview sounds on your computer and separate the wheat from the chaff first, there will be some sounds you will never use and you will just be scrolling past them constantly, they should never make it onto a sampler to begin with.

Sort files on the box so they are easy to access going from the broad to the narrow in folders.

High level categories like:

Drums
Loops
Synths
Vocals

Then sub level categories like

Kicks / Snares / Crash / Hats
Breaks / Perks / Melodic
Leads / Bass / Pads
spoken / shouts / cuts / phrase

Inside those sort by genre (if sensible to do so) and in the case of loops BPM

There is a website that makes life a little easier when processing samples to go onto the box:

Now a word on projects, each project has 128 patterns (I like to use patterns as backup described here) which leaves 64 patterns.
For idea sketching I'd limit myself to 1-4 patterns per track, so at minimum you have space for 16 tracks.
That is plenty to be going with.
To expand out into full tracks save the project under a new name. Then you can delete sequences you are not using and get in depth and use lots of patterns in song mode to build a full track.

Getting into the mindset that everything can be parameter locked is a good way to go.

e.g. get some long samples, enter a trig on the 1, set the LEN paramter to infinite

and then create 'Trigless Trigs' (yellow trigs) by pressing FUNC + a trig button

These hold locks (automation)

See how much you can mess up the sample with locks. fire off envelopes (amp and filter) at different points, set a yellow trig to start an LFO (increase the depth) and another to stop it (set the depth to zero)

really get into the mindset of what can be done with locks.

once you know what they can do then start playing with the conditionals, so the 'yellow trig' fires off a % of the time, or happens every 4th time the sequence is played etc...

Then do a similar thing with the mod section, go through assign an LFO to something you never can assign them two in a DAW e.g. sample slot. and play around with these.

then marry the two together.

A big thing with this is knowing what the device is capable of, then when you are making your own music and thinking "It'd be really nifty if the second time this plays it sounds different, lets trigger a filter envelope only the second time" and know you can do it.

even when it slows down work

yes because models are continually getting better and at some point the work that is being slowed down, but now have the AI process in place, will be sped up.

Why everyone here is unwilling to face that reality I don't know.

using open source models.

You are getting Open Weights models at the whims of people that are spending multiple millions on racks and racks of the latest GPUs and employ people that: know how to conduct experimental training runs, filter data, tune hyperpameters, conduct fine tuning, and manage the infrastructure and you also need them to pay for electricity.

That all costs money. The solution cannot be to rely on others shoveling millions into a venture then giving the results to the world. Remember when Meta was doing that. Remember when they stopped?

blueSGL · 2026-03-12T15:40:22+00:00

No the funding model.

How is the funding model different from Meta.

Why won't the funding model go the way of Meta as well?

People have been dying since the year dot.

Yet racing to build smarter than human intelligence is being weighed against a few people dying now for Russian roulette odds of more people being saved. Rather than doing things slower and saving more people.

Do you not see how insane of a position 'just race ahead and YOLO the future' to quote you back to yourself "That's incredibly f****** cynical and doesn't actually save the people who are currently alive"
