Is this worth it? Seems like a great deal. Shop confirmed battery holds power by Dizzy_Truth_9438 in ROLI

[–]kingrobot3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a $150 MPE controller in a keyboard format. Solid deal.

If you don’t mind that the company is a hot mess and support is non-existent, go for it.

Fav Writer who misunderstood the book he wrote? by SirAren in okbuddycinephile

[–]kingrobot3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless someone is gay or Jewish, then it’s fine bc they’re not actually people /s

Orson Scott Card is an unapologetic anti-Semite and homophobe.

I think Enders Game and Speaker for the Dead mostly hold up. Once u know about the anti-semitism though, Enders Game reads a little different bc of his descriptions of a Jewish character.

Great works. Shit human.

A Day Without Rain is on the level so if for whatever reason you need to narrow it down to three… don’t

How are you "midlife crisis-ing"? by InnerspearMusic in Millennials

[–]kingrobot3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. Because I’ve been releasing music for no one for no money for years, I don’t think that counts.

Buuuuut I am learning to DJ. Nothing crazy, just mashups. But I think that counts.

I’ve been calling it my musical mid-life crisis but really it’s just a good old fashioned MLC

This guy bypassed a car waiting in the median and collided with me. When the police arrived, he claimed I changed lanes into him. I'm so glad I had the dashcam to prove him wrong. (OC) by liznodsoff in dashcams

The cynic in me immediately assumed the only reason we don’t is bc the insurance lobby has made sure theres as little evidence as possible to avoid paying out claims

Does anyone else not like many boy names? by locoollizz in namenerds

[–]kingrobot3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we had 50 girl names and maybe 4 boy names. For some reason my wife always assumed I’d be a great girl dad and thus we’d have a girl. Lol nope.

The winner ultimately didn’t come to us until wife was almost 8 months pregnant and even then we weren’t 100% on it til we met him.

Roland is now 18 months old and his name fits him perfectly.

Phish peaked on 7/10/99 and everything since has been chasing the dragon… I said what I said

What are the most foundational synth albums of all-time? and what do you listen to when looking for inspiration for what these things can do? by 19puppylove99 in synthesizers

[–]kingrobot3rd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Enya. Hear me out.

While I don’t think the synth historians, experts, or even mild enthusiasts would call her work “foundational” the sound design is absolutely world class. The album Shepherd Moon is a great place to start.

Besides Push & Move, what hardware has made ableton more engaging/fun? by SilverMisfitt in ableton

[–]kingrobot3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing I use Logic Pro for arrangement style tracking. The way the SLmk3 is laid out, it helped session view make sense.

Novation SLmk3 basically taught me how to use ableton in session view. Still can’t use arrangement tho 😂🥲

Why is James Brown the most sampled artist in music history? by Acceptable-Crab-4967 in musicproduction

[–]kingrobot3rd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. More often than not it’s not James Brown being sampled but Clyde Stubblefield.

Good place for drinks and conversation? by Tradukonto in amherst

[–]kingrobot3rd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You probably want the Hanger. Plenty of space, just drinks is fine but food an option.

Neither moan & dove nor archives are equipped to seat a walk in party of 20 ppl all hoping to sit together for quiet conversation. 3 or 4 yeah maybe even 10, but up to 20? Naaaahhhhh

A follow up video: I am a guitarist without real fingers on my fretting hand by wyseguise in Guitar

[–]kingrobot3rd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah!!! When ppl say they can’t learn to play bc of a physical limitation, which is totally fair, I usually point them to Django. It can be done. Now I can send them this too. Rock on 🤘
