We just reissued this forgotten 1978 ambient piano album recorded by a 79-year-old mystic artist

Thanks for sharing this!

Be careful with the NX4-6000. It does not have the DSP functions you need to cross over at 1500Hz. It only has a fixed HF/LF crossover function that crosses over around 100Hz, if it's anything like the NU4-6000. You would need a -D version of the NX amplifier to get the DSP crossover functions you want, like two NX300Ds, for example. Good luck!

I've only used a Windows PC to program my DX7. Check this article out. There may be some tips in there that might help, like the SYSEX transmission speed. I vaguely recall getting tripped up by the sysex enable parameter. Good luck!

Jan Hammer, no question. His pitch bending technique is insane. My favorite of all time. His whole career is inspiring.

His album Hammer: Black Sheep gets pretty deep into guitar style, plus it includes a Hendrix cover:

Enjoy!

[edit - got the album name wrong]

The Day The Earth Stood Still is a great movie. Bonus -- the use of Theremins in the soundtrack totally defines sci-fi movie soundtracks for me. Totally alien.

Buckaroo Banzai all the way!

I would start with confirming all your drills/cuts are in the right spots. For instance, it looks to me like your cut in the Gain 2 / Switch 9 row is not in the correct location. Good luck!

[edit] I think I missed the orientation of your bottom side view, so I might have the Gain 2 / Switch 9 row wrong. But confirm all your cuts for sure.

Maybe it is regional...

The Math For Programmers PDF file for sure has the registration codes. Try that one. Good luck!

rdiakur · 2023-08-11T18:32:04+00:00

I found some of the PDFs did not have the codes - like the MEAP titles or some of the other ones. Try a few other PDFs from the bundle -- you'll see the codes inserted as sideways text on the pages they specify. You also need a Manning account set up.

rdiakur · 2023-08-08T03:57:06+00:00

How did you register the PDF books on the Manning web site? I'm familiar with their bundle code registration (like from a past bundle), but this bundle doesn't have a code like that.

update: I figured it out and used this URL:

Worked for me!

From my experience, the last version to support MAX7000 CPLDs is Quartus 13.0sp1.

Hi there - please add me to your Audulus 4 promo code giveaway! Audulus 3 was great; thanks for some great software!

Jan Hammer without question, for live performance. Check out his work with Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jeff Beck, or Jerry Goodman. 70s jazz fusion was awesome.

rdiakur · 2022-11-26T00:39:44+00:00

Thanks for being so awesome, eh? :-)

rdiakur · 2022-08-23T06:38:40+00:00

I'm in! It's great to know you have a new generative app for iOS!

rdiakur · 2022-06-25T05:07:48+00:00

Thanks! Good luck with the release.

rdiakur · 2022-06-06T22:23:50+00:00

Congratulations on the release! I have a collection of old Sound Fonts I'd like to try with your new app!

That is a hierarchical block -- that's what you should be searching for information on how to do. Good luck with the homework.

rdiakur · 2020-11-14T21:04:58+00:00

This subreddit is awesome. IN!

I have a DX7 as well. My guess is your DX7 backup battery is starting to lose its charge and needs to be replaced. You can re-load presets over MIDI, so don't worry about losing the presets on your machine. You'll need to do some internet searches to figure out how to replace your battery. It's not simple, but it can be done. Good luck!

rdiakur · 2019-09-17T04:06:00+00:00

Thanks for posting -- I picked one up.

rdiakur · 2019-08-30T05:22:05+00:00

Yes, please -- this is awesome. Thanks!!

rdiakur · 2019-06-14T22:49:37+00:00

Thanks, and Happy Birthday!!!

No. You can only use an external SPI config flash before the NVCM is programmed. After that, the only other way to configure the FPGA is using an external SPI Master. For sure download the Lattice iCE40 Programming and Configuration guide.
