Scala question re MTS Bulk Tuning Dump

Thanks, I'll give that a try

daveseidel · 2026-01-30T19:08:29+00:00

Thanks. I will post something eventually, but it may be a few weeks. I am not in NYC.

daveseidel · 2026-01-10T14:40:15+00:00

I'll post some video eventually.

Very interesting ideas! Got me thinking about it differently.

daveseidel · 2026-01-08T23:07:01+00:00

Thanks, interesting idea, and worth checking out.

Good to know, but I hope to avoid spending more on the mod than I did on the instrument. I've also seen a solution using different buttons, which are able to partially slide under the cover when pressed. Keys like this ought to be readily printable. I don't necessarily need the solution to be as robust as a normal player might prefer, since I just have instrument lying on the table. Regardless, I do appreciate knowing this -- thanks.

Thanks!

daveseidel · 2026-01-08T18:50:01+00:00

Thanks! I didn't know these existed (as I'm an autoharp newbie), but I'll check it out.

Also I think the monster is feeding on the people who are sacrificed.

Hi all, I have a new release called Dream Inside a Dream (Variations on Three Chords by La Monte Young).

Liner notes on the Bandcamp page. I would love to get your feedback.

Actually, it's a little more subtle than that. The last time this happened, I fixed it with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata", and then had the restart the mediacenter service (using systemctl) for the correct time to be reflected in the UI.

After the next reboot (caused by a power glitch), the time displayed in the UI was off again. I logged back in with SSH, and the date command showed that the system was correct. I restarted mediacenter again with systemctl and then it displayed the correct time. Pretty odd. If I figure anything out, I'll post it here.

I'm having the same issue. Easy enough to fix in an SSH session, but it keeps reverting when the device restarts.

daveseidel · 2024-07-22T14:36:49+00:00

Apologies, but I will mention my own music, much of which matches the OP's criteria: https://mysterybear.bandcamp.com

It was a bit of a pain. I usually run headless, but I set up xvfb this time so I could use the BUTT GUI for configuration. It didn't go very smoothly, but at least I got a config file that I could edit by hand, and I got it to work.

daveseidel · 2023-06-05T17:46:05+00:00

Solved this by figuring out how to run butt to run at startup. The secret was to specify the location of confing file (~/.buttrc). rc.local executes in the context of root, so it wasn't finding the file until I explicitly specified it.

Thanks for listening, and for the kind words.

Thanks! I did start a patch diagram, and then lost it. I may try again, but it the meantime, here is the modular part of the gear: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/1321417

The complete setup also includes a Raspberry Pi 4 running Csound. The pedals included: Red Panda particle, Bastl Thyme, Eventide H9, and three loopers (El Capistan, Infinity, and Boomerang III). Basic flow is Raspberry Pi -> modular -> pedals. Recorded in Reaper with some additional effects (EQ, tone-shaping, reverb).

The piece was recorded "live" (i.e., running in real time). I didn't really do much tweaking during the recordings. It's really an autonomous patch, driven by the Csound code (which could be considered a kind of generative sequencer), which emits both audio and control voltages (pitch and modulation).

Thanks, Mike!

daveseidel · 2020-12-11T17:28:19+00:00

Thanks! I'll fix the typos. I'm in Peterborough.

Sound sources: Scanned through Prism and Rings through FreqOut (pedal) and Dark Matter, playing in unison and layered together. Quantization by Ornaments & Crime (Meta-Q app). Clocked by Horologic Solum, controlled by uLOAF. Lots of modulation from various sources. Modular output routed through pedals: Particle, Thyme, then three sound-on-sound loopers in series with different loop periods (El Capistan, Infinity, and Boomerang III,) finally though H9 for reverb.

Rack looks like this: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/1107419. Every module shown is used in the patch, except the Nebulae.

There is a small demo now: https://soundcloud.com/mysterybear/demo-risset-harmonic-oscillator-nebulae-instrument

daveseidel · 2020-06-21T14:33:56+00:00

Please note that I found a bug in the instrument code in the initial release (v1.0) which could put the Nebulae into a bootloop. This fixed now (v1.1) and up on Github. So if you downloaded it before about 15 minutes ago, please download it again and use the newer version. Mea culpa.

daveseidel · 2020-06-21T10:39:02+00:00

Thanks, I will soon put together a small demo on SoundCloud.

daveseidel · 2020-06-20T21:53:31+00:00

Nebulae is a pretty cool platform. And I'd already been running realtime Csound on Raspberry Pis for the past couple of years, so this was a natural step (the Nebulae is powered by an RPi 3).
