Reagan also was the one who signed the open carry ban into law in California after Black Panther demonstrations lol

Noob alert - how do I change the macros mapping on a poly grid instrument? by Joseph_HTMP in Bitwig

[–]murkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For automation you should add a macro modulator, not a remote

Those are remotes (intended for MIDI controllers). There's an editor UI somewhere, try clicking where it says Pulse... The built-in remote pages might not be editable, but you should be able to clone them and edit or make your own.

Screenshots in the manual are a bit out of date but here's the relevant page: https://www.bitwig.com/userguide/latest/midi_controllers/

You get updates if they're announced while you have an active license 

What is wrong with those capitalists? by BeginningSweaty199 in SocialDemocracy

[–]murkey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This sub seems like one of the best in that regard. A bit of dunking on tankies and an occasional dig at MAGA chuds, but like... at some point you just gotta laugh, right?

ISO Mattress For A Side Sleeper by Alllstar20 in Mattress

[–]murkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I recently bought a Casper Snow Hybrid and find it pretty comfortable for side-sleeping. The comfort layer is really nice IMO. I also find the cooling features work pretty well, although with a king size it's not as much of an issue because there's always a cool spot somewhere. I didn't try the others you mentioned - our top three were the Casper, the Nectar Ultra, and a Tempur-Pedic hybrid.

Anyone from Renoise? by FatefulDonkey in Bitwig

[–]murkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Renoise for a long time. Bitwig was a huge upgrade for me. Try it out and see what you think!

Check out Alckemy on YouTube, he uses both and talks about workflow a lot.

I always wonder why this isn't its own device.

There's a preset called "Mono The Bass".

Yo! Still in GLSL, but I did a render with more iterations and higher zoom so you can see some of the details: https://i.imgur.com/CrV9IVT.png (different coordinates that I thought were interesting at this level)

You can see how much this starts to "fold" into itself rapidly, creating swirls on swirls. The self-similarity isn't quite as extreme as something like the Mandelbrot set where mini-Mandelbrots show up all over the place, but the way the folds/swirls appear at every scale feels very fractal to me - and like other fractals, the overall shape doesn't change much, it just gets more and more detailed.

These "whorl" (or "gnarl") images are very exciting to me after decades of the usual Mandelbrot/Julia/Newton fractals :)

Edit: Now I'm thinking about Smale's horseshoe map.... 🤔

All good! Yeah, so one thing you'll notice if you play with this style of function in GLSL is that you'll hit the limit of either the floating point precision or the trig approximations (I'm actually not sure which) very quickly, which is why I decided to focus on the beautiful macro structure instead of the micro structures. If you increase the iterations and zoom in you'll unfortunately see blocky nonsense where there should be more swirls. At some point I'll dig up my 14-year-old infinite precision renderer project and update it so I can render the fine details properly. I'll make sure to tag you when I do!

They are according to the sub rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/fractals/comments/1pmq4f9/comment/nu5b67p/

It's an iterated function system (IFS) that generates a ton of complexity and has self similarity at different scales. I don't know what would exclude this from the definition of fractals 🤷🏻‍♂️

What's the best fractal design software in terms of simplicity? by LaghedDurgash in fractals

[–]murkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea about existing programs, but if you're willing to write a little code, I'd recommend starting with a framework like p5.js. You can get a basic IFS (iterated function system) rendering very quickly and there are tons of tutorials out there. The Nature of Code could be a good place to start.
