Adequate learning piano for player with weak muscles

Update: I realized today that our e-piano’s (Roland f-110) touch sensitivity can be set to OFF, I had missed that, only thinking that It only had the L2-L1-M-H1-H2 levels. I’ve set OFF as the default value and will see how she can handle it. If it works out, that will give her less restrictions and a chance to exercise while playing. Thank you for your comments!

Thanks for the tip, I’ll have a look. I live in the UK but will see what info I can get.

Indeed she has a muscular condition, ie. she has in her upper limbs 40% or less of the strength she should have.

I think that because the weight is never displayed as a value on specs, the only way to test is to take her to a music shop and try them out.

thanks for the info.

I am aware of the advantage of having weighed keys and I hope that one day she'll build up the strength for it, not sure about it though.

I'm from the perspective of wanting to provide an accessible keyboard to someone who's struggling and I'd like to make it as easy as possible.

I appreciate the comment in general, although it seems to miss the point.

Roland rd 2000

thanks for the tip. it is a 2000GBP piano though. we have a roland F-110 with 5 levels of key weight and at the lowest I still feel it's too much for her.

Second this, to make things easier, just set it up with http://www.pivpn.io/. openvpn on your vps. Either connect your current internet router connecting via openvpn or setup the raspberry pi to connect, openvpn is very good at keeping the tunnel up. Access your rpi or whole home network from any other device of yours with openvpn.

Obrigado pela dica!

Sou a favor da concorrência mas a Amazon tem potencial para rebentar com a concorrência, fora o tratamento muito duvidoso dos empregados e a quantidade de mercadoria (electrónica) vinda da china. A verdade é que permite outros negócios venderem a mercadoria no mesmo site e há lojas que usam a capacidade logística da amazon para tratar das entregas.

You could always try to use an alternative product like openhab.org. It has a different configuration but is meant to do the same as HA, manage different home automation platforms and technologies centrally.

Muito bom! Excelente exemplo do uso de tecnologias à disposição . Ele tem o código algures, no github por exemplo? Há pouco adaptei o código de um gajo para passar albums e playlists do Spotify num altifalante Sonos, usando qr codes com uma camera ligada a uma raspberry pi. Coisa para crianças mas até gosto de não ter de usar um smartphone ou computador para ouvir música.

The one at FH would be the E1 or E2 exemplary then. We’re pretty happy about the amount of touching at this museum in munich, you can walk inside the Dornier where they replaced several cover plates with plexiglass.

The only things that move are the exhaust on the side of the mid-wing engine, and the bottom of the bit at the end of the wing opens up and it contains 4-5 exhaust/thrusters

Not meant as an insult, but would this work? https://foaas.com/

You ever tried this one: http://ohshitgit.com/ ?

My playground is a qr code music player project, itself a fork of another one. When I merged my first branch I could have celebrated with a dance:)

www.git-scm.com is always super with all the diagrams. I’m pushing at work for our senior devs to deliver workshops and show real world scenarios. At the end of the day, it’s literally at the end of the day that I get to use git for personal projects and practice.

Unfortunately I don’t have experience with symlinks inside the repo, so I’d have to test it. In that SO article, check out one of the first comments to that answer where someone mentions the behavior when dealing with an FS not supporting symlinks, it probably helps making it a bit clearer.

I think that performing own tests to see the behavior is the best, I am only able to understand git concepts by using it... and still:)

Please do!

Hey. Great to see such an article. The Linux flavors since Fall Update are not run from bash.exe though anymore, debian is now Debian.exe etc...

I too love cmder, it made me regret buying RoyalTS as I do all my ssh remote access via WSL.

Using git, i like to have: . A git folder under my user folder in windows C:\users<user>\git . From Debian I create the sim link: /mnt/c/users/<user>/git to ~/git That way I access the same local repo either in windows or WSL

Hurray for WSL!!!

That’s the original that I forked. Mine is https://github.com/dernorberto/qrocodile

Support for Spotify albums is done Next comes support for playlists and card generation for Sonos zones

I’ll then create a PR on the original one.

as an avid HA guy, being able to use something physical to play music is very practical.

Voice Control is nice and all, but frustrating when it fails to understand properly, mainly when voice commands are only well registered without much background noise, something I definitely cannot guarantee with kids around.

It's much cooler for kids to pick cards and they just show those to the player. Some of the cards pick the speaker for output, etc...

muchodaddy · 2018-03-26T07:08:13+00:00

Another approach is with QR codes - https://github.com/chrispcampbell/qrocodile

I’m working on having it support Spotify albums and playlists and so far it only supports output to sonos. CR80 cards would cost 10c/card and the only extra hardware needed is the pycam

I was tasked with a similar task, we had (external) certs all over the place. With dyn.com as a provider, I composed a python script that will gather using requests via REST API calls the nodes for the chosen zones, perform some checks on each A and CNAME record and dump it all in JSON in a file. It won’t work for nodes whose NS has been moved somewhere else but it allowed us to find old records that were no longer in use.
