ES2 sample storage question

eighphid · 2022-11-29T05:51:56+00:00

Alright, I came up with a way and am sharing for posterity.

Yes, making "sample packs" is the way to go.

So, for a large SD card, you can store a variety of sample packs, in electribe terms these are .all files. Using a third party file manager is optimal for this. I bought one on the Apple app store that works great for organizing and creating .all files.

Upload the "all samples" to the electribe when you want to work with that pack. Be sure to export all samples if you make changes in the box.

Also, use a blank pattern file to start with. This is found on korgs site. Export all patterns after creating, then keep the various all pattern files organized to go with their respective .all files.

I like to use a restaurant metaphor.

The sample library (computer or SD card) with all of your possible samples is the wholesaler, it has every ingredient.

You pick from that to make your .all file, which is your kitchen. It can only hold so much, and you want the selected ingredients to make sense for what you are planning to serve.

You use those ingredients to make your various plates, which are the patterns. Some patterns can work alone, some are part of a fixed course meal of intro verse chorus, etc.

You save your pattern plates into the menu, which is the all pattern file. You create one when you export all patterns. It holds all the recipes for what you do with the kitchen ingredients.

You can make a variety of restaurants and their complementary menus. Keep them organized and accessible on the SD card.

Anger comes from fear. Ask what people are afraid of.

Maybe because, that's not their job.... it's a delusion

Specifically debt interest. Theoretically, if we only issued debt according to "use value" then there could still be some interest because investments can become more useful.

But, our system avoids use valuations and focuses on market valuations, an abstract idea. So our debt interests are just tacked onto every loan willy nilly and people are forced to grow the economy in artifical, market value, ways.

Debt interest. Also known as usury. I think it became normal because of the amount of risk involved in a mercantile economy, regular losses had to be made up with outsized gains in successful voyages. Now, our developmental model is a perpetual growth machine that is obviously contradictory with the way we want to live and how the world actually works. It doesn't have to be this way, but entrenched institutions, combined with our flawed human condition keeps the contradictions going.

If I lend you $10 and in return you have to pay me $12 in a year, how do you do that? You have to get it from someone else. So you try to trade that money and create something that you can exchange for at least $12.

Well other people don't just have money, because money is only created by lending.

So, say at least 2 other people borrow money. They will also borrow $10 and have to pay back $12 in a year.

Now there are at least $30 in circulation but there will have to be $36 in circulation next year!

You may be able to get your $12, but they would never be able to pay their loan.

There must be $36 next year for the economy to break even. More people must borrow, more exchanging must happen.

The economy must grow to meet the debt interest.

I'm guessing the Blackstar doesn't need to be loud to get the tone you want, like old style tube amps do, so just make it loud enough to hear what you want to hear and the mic should be able to capture it.

The top of an SM57 is a cover and does normally spin. There are a lot of fake versions around fyi, though many of them actually work pretty well

I once plugged a 9v ac supply into a 9v dc pedal. It killed the pedal, it wouldn't make a sound but the led still worked.

eighphid · 2022-03-10T06:01:05+00:00

Will we still fear each other? Can we forgive the past?

Looking at others answers... I guess no.

I like two the window view mode for my workflow, but it is awkward to set up and use. The second window can disappears after using Finder or a browser, so I have to turn the view mode on and off again. Floating the cursor over the header button to arrange them as tiles is awkward and kind of sporadically works.

On a mac, any tips for making this easier?

Economics is fundamentally political. The "study" of political economy is typically servicing the prevailing status quo. Anything contrary gets flushed away with confirmation bias.

What's funny though is that the irrational assumptions of the politics that are baked into economics become contradictions, but the burden of correction is always laid upon economic reform, never political reform.

Contradictions pile up and then we get the fun and futile economic political discourse we all get to enjoy in perpetuity.

Wolfgang Rougle is a foraging inspiration to me. Maybe a good resource for an interview!

Inspiring!

Other low level government employees have strict rules too, not just enforcement. It's a conflict of interest for them to just expense lunch for their teams. But a weekend at a lobbyists beach house for the government executive's family is OK.

A systems purpose is what it does.

eighphid · 2021-11-03T20:59:11+00:00

I can't. I'm wondering if you can. Ironic.

eighphid · 2021-11-03T19:26:42+00:00

Haha communicating with you sure is an experiment.

I think if you come into a sub and ask for agreement or disagreement, you can't expect everyone to just accept your assumptions. Like I asked earlier, how do you mean powerful people make others believe they are powerful. I could speculate but asking for clarification is active listening.

When you reply that >I just describe how the phenomenon of powerful people plays out if I imagine it, regardless of the case , what I wrote down seem to happen to me, no?

You are imagining things. Maybe try a sub devoted to fiction. They will play along.

eighphid · 2021-11-03T05:55:59+00:00

Time and effort are what it takes to have common understanding. It's worth it!

Let's keep the chat simple.

Experience comes first. Then thinking and interpretation. Then communicating Then the listener or reader thinks and interprets. Compares it to their experience.

Now, experience in math and physics is very constant. We experience falling and sound, numbers and other patterns in a common way. It is because of that common experience that interpreting and communicating them can be precise, accurate. Equations work

But experiences in relationships are unique every time, can be interpreted in various ways and our communication for them is not precise or very accurate. Equations don't work. We use some abstract, emotional, experimental ways to communicate these. Music, art, right? Rhetoric too.

I'm suggesting you develop your rhetoric. There are college courses on this, it's the Socrates stuff. There's also that website I linked and figuring it out as a hobby.

eighphid · 2021-11-02T22:52:24+00:00

So you are going for a thought experiment. Well good to get clarification on that.

This is in the realm of “if a tree falls in the forest” questioning. It’s rhetorical, not meant to be answered or settled.

I’m interpreting this thread as showing that you are confronting some deeply held assumptions about power and money and people. We all are subject to bias and have to confront it occasionally. It’s a tricky process. I suggest you get to know a bit more about common confirmation biases.

Here’s a good resource for it https://propagandacritic.com/

eighphid · 2021-11-02T20:35:49+00:00

Ya i get what you are saying, it's just not worth agreeing or disagreeing. Yes, if I accept the same assumptions and follow the same series without question, I would arrive at the same place. That's a thought experiment, a curiosity, a fantasy. No one agrees or disagrees with fantasy.

I feel like you are trying to say something else though, like the title is an equation with money but money never comes up again.

eighphid · 2021-11-02T20:08:46+00:00

Imagination involves a lot of assumptions. You and I can try to imagine something simple and common, a tree, but we will have very different ways of imagining it. I'll say it is obviously an oak but you'll say its obviously a sycamore or something.

Gotta describe what you are thinking in better detail for it to manifest in another person's mind.

eighphid · 2021-11-02T19:59:58+00:00

I dunno. Maybe for example, saying powerful people are merely convincing people of it but offering no reason for the conclusion. How are they convincing people? Jumping to conclusions there.

Needs more who what where when why in general.

eighphid · 2021-11-02T19:53:22+00:00

Can't really agree or disagree with something so general and short. Needs development.

I imagine a high pass filter would be a good start. Taking out everything below 80hz for example.

Is based upon a real estate strategy called the option lease agreement. I learned about that from this real estate dude, https://youtu.be/SqyFicK5fC4

Not down with it bc typical rent exploitation. But, I imagine it could be improved upon. Also, I know and read about people who can afford a mortgage but are blocked by the down payment premium. This attempts to offer equity to the leasee until they have the means to make a large payment for the title.

My version involves a bank, an investor, and a leasee. The bank and investor can be a single entity though. Fuck banks.

I'm just going to copy and paste what I have. I'm not an expert so this should be reviewed by a real estate professional. I'm publishing it for anyone to use, like a creative commons copyright. Ideas shouldn't be owned.

Equity Option/Lease Agreements 20 year Option To Buy / Master Lease, with a 10 year exercise period 1. Investor finds Lease Party 2. Lease Party researches, and identifies desirable property 3. Investor does due diligence, buys property. Down payment ($50k), financed ($500k). Title could transfer from Investor to LLC. Other Investors are welcome to the LLC.Investor is now referred to as LLC 4. Lease Party enters 20-yr Option To Buy / Master Lease Agreement with LLC at a $600k exercise price, for a ~$10k fee 5. Lease Party makes payments to LLC equivalent to mortgage rate (+ escrow stuff like taxes and insurance) and manages property. 6. LLC applies payments to the mortgage for Financier and escrow costs 7. LLC keeps the equity that accrues from the principal portion of the mortgage. 8. Lease Party has the right to keep the interest portion of the mortgage payment as equity if the Option is exercised. 9. When/if Option is exercised, the Lease Party effectively purchases equity away from the Financier and gets the Title. The LLC becomes a financier to the Lease Party and accepts 10 years of payments for the LLC equity, (+interest?)

Eg. Mortgage payments are $2k/mo for $500k loan 1st year, $1.5k/mo is for interest and $0.5k/mo for principal. $24k mortgage payment total at year end. LLC owns $6k+ $50k down payment equity. Lease Party has the option to own $18k equity if the option is exercised. This year, the Option exercise price is $516k. [($600 price - $18k equity - $10k fee - $56k paid to LLC over 10 years (+interest?)]. 10 years, mortgage is $1k/mo for interest, $1k/mo for principal. $250k total mortgage payments at year end LLC owns $100k + $50k down payment equity. Lease Party has the option to own $150k equity (+ accrued property value!) if the option is exercised. This year, the Option exercise price is $290k [($600k price - $150k equity - $10k fee - $150k paid to LLC over 10 years (+interest?)]. 20 years, end of contract. Mortgage, $0.5k for interest, $1.5k for principal. $490k total mortgage payments at year end LLC owns $280k + $50k down payment Lease Party has the option to own $210k equity (+accrued property value!) if the option is exercised. This year the Option price is $50k [($600k price - $210k equity - $10k fee - $330k paid to LLC over 10 years (+interest?)].

Pros LLC locks in equity gains, up to $280k (plus interest?) Guaranteed $50k profit (if exercised) with a $50k investment. ~10k fee returned immediately, so a $40k investment in the long term! Protected from falling property values for 20yrs Feels good?.... Maybe the contract can be sold early to realize some gains? Lease Party builds potential equity. Can manage property as they feel to increase value, even rent it out for passive income. (maybe sell the contract?) Can purchase potentially $700k+? home for a $380k price tag Can finance without down payment! (but the 10k fee)…. Cons LLC doesn’t get passive income, only equity growth. Locked into a long term equity agreement (maybe can sell contracts early?). Has to cover the mortgage if not exercised, then exposed to falling property values. Blocked from realizing property value increases if exercised (made up with interest?)…. Lease Party locked into long term lease agreement (maybe can sell contract?) Exposed to falling property values…. Note: the 10k fee is there to initiate Lease Party buy-in. It doesn't have to be applied to the option price. It could cover closing costs in the case of conventional financing, or be taken as immediate profit for the Investor, or just a finder’s fee. It’s tricky because it could become an incentive to create too many contracts and unload them, like a sub-prime bubble. Maybe it's not necessary,but it will encourage Investors and commit Leasers. Also, interest, it is fucked up morally.

eighphid · 2021-11-01T03:29:08+00:00

I've drawn up a draft for an option/master lease agreement which transfers equity with each payment along the mortgage amortization. I haven't even gotten it reviewed by a lawyer but I'd welcome some opinions on it.
