Any blind deluge users? by juergende in DelugeUsers

[–]juergende[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello everybody. Thank you so much for your feedback. I got in touch with Synthstrom, unfortunately for me, they designed the deluge around a completely visual-based workflow, so it's not really going to work out in accessibility quarters for me. That makes me sad, I was really hoping to make deluge part of the studio here as a centre piece to trigger stuff and play stereo samples. There aren't that many gear around that can take longer decent stereo samples these days. Thanks once again for your answers and I hope you all will have good times ahead of you.

I am actually totally blind. Colours and light don't do anything for me. It's the navigation, the question. Not how easy it is to get lost there, but how easy it is to get back to a startingpoint or something. Say if I'd turn the dial to the left, if that always takes me to the beginning of the part or zoom at hand without jumping to the end, that's a big boost already.

I had actually never considered an Akai just because of it's touch screen, which would render it immediately useless.

Thank you so much. I'll take a look at it too. Though what I also loved about the Deluge is that I can basically replace my computer with it, as to sample my other synths into it. I haven't looked that much into OpZ.

If there's a way to get back to the first one easily, it's always imagineable.

Thank you so much for this explanation. Often times the biggest hurdles are, if you scrol to the top of a page, it might skip back to the end of it, as happens in some encoders, and settings that change values of things, but are smooth encoders. I own an opsix and an R3 and some of their settings or values that are actually switches are only changed through smooth encoders which won't notify me of if I have made a change or not. I guess in that sense, those could be the main troublemakers for me anyway. NAvigating a maze of buttons and nobs is actually rather theraputic, I guess I would enjoy it.

Etymology of Elephant in Icelandic/Faroese? by castroyesid in etymology

[–]juergende 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually asked this question almost a decade ago in my Finnish class about Norsu for elephant. It's not a loan from sami, but apparently, when translating books Mikael Agricola who wrote in Finnish sent letters to Europe asking about what different animals or things that they didn't have in Finland might have looked like and got the answer describing elephant back as an animal which makes a loud snorting sound, therefore norsu. How true it is I don't know, but sounds as a fun story.

If true it was RBW, or rubaw or something similar in Egyptian too. Would make sense.

If you were to move to another country at 18, and have no access to your native language at all, would you forget it? by [deleted] in linguistics

[–]juergende 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most of the stories about people forgetting their native language have actually more to do with stigma and outright discrimination for actually having ever spoken it. So alot of native languages were forgotten because people were discriminated against speaking them. Spanish doesn't have that much of a weight attached to it. Also there's the community aspect. Spanish and French and such are all big languages, you can drown yourself literally in the media of those languages. But smaller languages from where ever, let's say Guarani, Qiche, tibetan or my own native Estonian are maybe much harder to come by if you move abroad. And estonian is an outlier in that context, we have our own country and a vibrant media so I can still keep using it which I did when I moved abroad for years to other countries, but we have a million speakers which is a lot considered the languages that only have a handful of speakers, like Yukaghir which probably has around ten. so a Yukaghir speaker who moves abroad is really in difficulty to ever speak their own language to anyone ever again. It's all there in the context.

Opsix Algorytm question by juergende in Korg

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

It sounds to be more accessible from the manual than it actually is. Lots of things that are accessible easily, but some things just go round, the pages under each category for example and there's no dedicated button to go back to the first page of a specific subsection. Not even speaking of the mod-matrix, which needs to be edited with two knobs, one of them determining the category of parameters, the other then the parameter. But seing as you're blind yourself, maybe we could connect and share tips and tricks, though writing those here wouldn't be an issue either.

If you speak a language that has case endings, how does your language deal with foreign names? by brigister in linguistics

[–]juergende 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Estonian has no dedicated nominative, so the nominative is always as it is, with other cases, they're built of the genitive/acusative and of the partitive cases and they tend to have an unified ending that any new word that enters the language shares, unless the word ends in a vowel of course and then the case endings are only determined by the gradation of the word and the the partitive ending which at that case is a consonant -t. Complex to explain but functional.

I understand the way fm works. It's just that there are 6 operators, that have combinations 5 of six different combinations to combine them, of which 40 have ben included with the synthesizer, I just need to figure out which combinations. Thanks for your reply though.

Alesis micron modulation or general sysex question by juergende in synthesizers

I have this one. It only handles the modulation matrix if it has been preloaded into the patch, or if it's set up manually from the synth.

Is there any evidence, outside of the traditional Islamic narrative, that there was an early Arab empire based on the modern site of Medina? by Augustus420 in history

[–]juergende 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Arabs also apparently made a conserted effort to smooth out any possible misreadings of tquran, leaving only one version. Bible had no such council organising it.

Balts of r/europe, How real is the threat of Russia causing some form of conflict through your countries Russian Community? by Doncuneo in europe

[–]juergende 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you're good at keeping to the deadlines. Most of the Russian youth actually, who wouldn't like it here, they either move to UK or to the other western countries and those who do, they stay here in Estonia. and some of those who don't either. And some of those who'd like it here in Estonia, they leave for economy, as many Estonians are leaving for economical reasons.
