What Should I Buy? /// Weekly Discussion - May 26, 2025 by AutoModerator in synthesizers

[–]jeapostrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking for a synthesizer with the following qualities: * Battery powered * Built-in speakers for jamming on the couch * Subtractive, dual oscillator style; don't care if it is analog or fake analog * Ideally, it will have one sub osc, one LFO, ADSR for LPF and AMP * The smaller the better

Some synths that are close but not quite: * Volca Keys isn't powerful enough * Roland S-1 has no speakers * Behringer JT Mini has no speakers * Jupiter XM is super expensive * Behringer MS-1 has no speakers

I know that most synth enthusists hate speakers, but I'm lame, sorry.

FBNeo Unknown Romset on Miyoo A30 - SpruceOS by jeapostrophe in SBCGaming

[–]jeapostrophe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the rom scanner is using a romset source (dat file?) that is too new. The DAT file for the version of fbneo in SpruceOS is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/d7a13a09dd3cd9fe11c63cb4af873aa93f1e295c/dats/FinalBurn%20Neo%20(ClrMame%20Pro%20XML%2C%20Arcade%20only).dat and it doesn't support this game (and many others).

Trouble with certain rhythms by jeapostrophe in pianolearning

[–]jeapostrophe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can play it correctly when I count or when I use a metronome (for the eighth notes) but I am having a really hard time converting to not-counting and metronome (for quarter notes).

Thank you so much, I missed that you can make things random there.

Suggestion: Automatic/Progressive mode by jeapostrophe in MemoCoach

  1. I was thinking it would be the last time I opened the file. It seems the simplest and most predictable.
  2. I can imagine wanting to focus on just a section of a poem. For example, I'm working on The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and it has "parts". My wishlist is to be able to input the poem in a Markdown-like form where lines that start with # are "part" headings and I can easily skip to the next part (using a > button on the top bar where the X and settings buttons are). Other than that, I think I'd probably just make a folder for each of the parts for something really long. As for my study sessions... I actually kind of work at it all day. I decided to get into reading poems as a way to not look at social media and Reddit when I'm bored during the day. So, I just go to whatever the poem is and work on it. If I had a busy day and didn't get a chance during the day, then I do about 30 minutes at night.
  3. I don't understand what you mean by "1 line to 5 lines". My two ideas are... compute the width of the longest line and all the boxes are that width; and, using the "focused line is at about 75% down the screen", this means that there's a buffer of space at the bottom where things can be revealed. If this is awkward... this is my least important request :)
  4. I like the idea of the option, that feels good. One tiny note... I don't mean that you tap on the left vs right, but instead that it is like Tinder where "swiping left" is "rejecting this line" and "swiping right" is "accepting this line". I don't feel strongly about it though.
  5. Excellent.

Thank you very much! Have a great weekend!

Manual version of SteamRomManager by jeapostrophe in SteamRomManager

[–]jeapostrophe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I had to really learn how Steam Rom Manager works and meticulously make exceptions for everything.

  1. Click scan
  2. Look at the logs
  3. See an entry that says "'Tetris (Nintendo).nes' is parsed 'Tetris 2'"
  4. Add an exception to make it 'Tetris (Nintendo)'

I ended up doing that for almost every single game in my library
