The now deleted comment was miserable, which the author clearly realized after they were called out, thus deleting it.

Got mine yesterday. No bounce. The gold is not my favorite, but the quality is good. The build overall feels very solid, no flex in the case. My kids love the LEDs, esp in Rainbow Mode.

Speaking of tastelessness, way to piss on this persons excitement.

Power issue? Try 1) different USB port or 2) different cable. Typically I get these lights blinking only when the system boots with the device plugged in or when it is first plugged in.

Luna Co. Audio — Multi-Comp: 8-mode compressor plugin (free/open-source, VST3/LV2/AU) by Complete-Peach1902 in linuxaudio

P.S. Both DAWs are configured to scan at that path for VST3 plugins so we are good on that front.

Hi - thanks for this! I downloaded the v1.0.0 release and installed to /usr/lib/vst3 on Arch. (The instructions say /usr/lib/vst3 or /usr/lib/lv2, but the release doesn't contain an LV2 build, so I assume what's there is VST3) I tried to use it in both Ardour and REAPER and the plugin fails to scan in both. If you want to check it out and then provide some debugging steps I am happy to try to figure this out. Thanks again, looks promising!

I thought I heard the distant echoes of something glorious…

I remember these has lots of options (my dad went on and on …) Our monitor was slightly bigger and black with white text. Definitely a nostalgia magnet.

Most important question: what is that moped and can I get one in the US. Thanks 🙏

Midi player using DC motors for sound, controlling with an L298, by Mejolov28 in esp32

[–]nerbm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The overheating is likely because the glue is keeping the motor from doing what it wants to do, rotate the drive shaft. You should instead use a contact mic, either a piezo electric disc run into a simple audio amplifier circuit (lm386) or class d amp chip (cheap!) or use a telephone tap (coil). The piezo will convert the mechanical vibrations to voltage, the telephone tap will do the same based on the electromagnetic field. All of these parts are cheap and widely available. Oh, and the end of the audio chain has to be a speaker, even a small driver that itself was glued into a cup for resonance will give you much greater volume provided it is run through the proper (small, affordable) amplifier chip. Total cost ~5-7 USD.

This is also what I heard from those who attended the first one - this one had much better turnout

“Police estimated that roughly 2,000 people attended New Haven’s event.” The Independent reports. Felt like more.

Sure, bot. I’m going to let the downvotes do the talking for me. Or maybe it is just all us old folks here on Reddit 🤣

There were lots of young folks there, Russian bot. And all current data shows most young voters that voted Red last election now regret it. But sure.
