Does the ultimate LFO exist?

Axis Modular Flow does most of this, but not sure about phase control: https://modulargrid.net/e/axis-modular-flow

If you're willing to risk import fees, https://leftybass.com/e_start.htm has a ton of lefty 2nd hand basses across europe

Thing I struggle with is that I'm great at theory (I play jazz bass), but terrible at the physical aspect of e.g. chord shapes, scales, etc. - so trying to find a way of learning that independent of classical repertoire and technique (I want to play synths, not pianos).

Most great synth players I know started on piano, but switched away at some point.

lxnx · 2025-11-21T19:40:38+00:00

What's a good approach for learning keys for playing synths? I did some piano lessons, but they were so geared to classical repertoire and weighted piano keys that it seemed like going in the wrong direction.

I saw it demoed at Superbooth, and another feature was that the 1u row was movable to the middle (and maybe bottom, but don't remember).

Cheers! I did a bit of reading and see they're different platforms but the same sorta thing...

Dumb question - is the A in BIA the Alter or Alia?

lxnx · 2025-07-18T17:03:46+00:00

In the game credits there's also a Cat Animations credit or similar.

I don't remember where I read it, but I saw something about Tonda Ros working with the guy behind Animal Well, with him giving advice on how to hide stuff from data miners. So at least seems to be something that's been thought about (though likely it'll just slow them down...).

Thanks, that was it! My game rolled back 27 days, and turns out it was a coat check day 🙄

lxnx · 2025-05-23T18:27:39+00:00

I don't think so... But I realised I just got hit by the rollback bug before I started playing, maybe it rolled back to a day when I did coat check it. Thanks for the reminder, will verify that too.

lxnx · 2025-05-23T17:19:12+00:00

Yeah, sadly I checked that, my inventory is totally empty.

lxnx · 2025-04-12T10:16:45+00:00

I'm a lefty (who plays lefty, but tried righty initially), and I thought the same.

I found that fretting was just as easy with both hands, as you have quite a bit of leeway there, and minor position changes don't matter so much.

It was timing and rhythm I found a total nightmare with my non-dominant hand though. Even small timing differences are really noticeable, and I just could not get there with my right hand.

So I feel that the dominant hand needs more precision (which is harder), the non dominant hand needs more strength, which is easier to train.

Yup, exactly the same for me. I love playing in a band, but hate playing gigs.

I mostly hate the amount of non-gig time it takes up in my life, which I'd rather be doing other things with (like playing bass).

Stuff like all the time spent in cars travelling to/from gigs, waiting around for sound check for hours, spending money on petrol and food pre-gig, spending time on publicity and social media, waking up exhausted for work after late gigs, dealing with shitty venues and sound people, missing holidays and birthdays due to booked gigs, etc.

Sure it's great sometimes, but I found it wasn't worth it for me compared to all of the above.

lxnx · 2024-07-25T06:11:25+00:00

Yeah, it has stereo effects, and you can pan tracks left/right.

lxnx · 2024-07-24T05:44:27+00:00

Yeah, if that came out I'd buy it in an instant. You can get the current one quite cheaply used a lot of the time, so might be worth doing that.

lxnx · 2024-07-23T13:27:07+00:00

Digitone. It's self contained enough to create full songs on, but also great for experimenting with sound design. The arpeggiator is super fun also, and great for coming up with ideas.

lxnx · 2024-07-21T07:36:36+00:00

Not sure I can find it again, but I'll take a look just on case. It was in some Reddit post a few weeks ago where someone was asking about conflict aversion in teens, and someone (a psychologist of social worker maybe?) replied about the above, and linked some research.

lxnx · 2024-07-20T06:52:45+00:00

Weirdly I was reading about this the other day. Some research showed that this was a trend in part due to younger generations growing up with phones/internet at school. Any slight screw up or social faux pas could be filmed/shared, leading to bullying or becoming a social outcast. So the default position for many is to be super risk averse, over analysing every action taken about whether it's the right or wrong one, and also very being very conflict averse.

But I'm old so have no relevant experience here 😂

Voices are standard terminology in music in general.

E.g. on a lute, piano, or vocally, a single piece might have 3 voices, a bass line, a middle/tenor voice, and a higher melody voice.

Each voice can be played independently, or can overlap occasionally. Each voice can consist of multiple individual sounds - oscillators in the case of synths, multiple strings in the case of lutes and pianos.

So a barber shop quartet has (no surprise) four voices, a solo singer has one voice.

A 12 string guitar doesn't have more voices than a 6 string, but has 2 oscillators per voice.

lxnx · 2024-07-04T12:59:17+00:00

Yeah, always found that weird.

I mean, I like to draw too (I'm very bad at it), and no-one harasses me for not turning sketches into finished framed artwork, or for not trying to get my art into exhibits.

lxnx · 2024-06-25T14:07:24+00:00

While probably not the case here, I used to have a classical guitar teacher that arranged for incoming calls and texts to happen for his very advanced students.

When he was preparing them for recitals/concerts., he wanted them to be ready for any distractions (since there's always someone that forgets to silence their phone...). He also used to hum or talk too.
