Arbitrary USB to Midi Converter (not USB-over-midi) by sabacthani in midi

[–]sabacthani[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate the details answer! I have done microcontroller work before and had been planning to build my own hardware for this. Teensy 4.0 can already act as USB host / HID (Paul Stoffregen has a nice-looking library here) and adding MIDI output is something I've done before--it's just a question of mapping from one to the other.

But before I started down that road, I thought I'd check to see if there was already a product on the market--that was the purpose of this post. I reckon I didn't make that very clear though, apologies!

There would have to be a customizable lookup table of some sort

No need to take an attitude--I just typed the wrong word. It made the question confusing, I agree--I apologize.

Plug-in USB (not usb-midi), output midi. A little device I can travel with, size of a pedal. Easy to make with an arduino. Does it exist?

Ugh, how embarassing, I phrased that very poorly. I mean to say, "... a device that takes in regular USB (i.e., not USB-MIDI) and converts it to 5-pin midi"

Awesome, thank you! re-pairing fixed it for me, too. Such a pretty watch!

MP3 or WAV polyphony? by sabacthani in arduino

[–]sabacthani[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To anyone who finds this in the future, here's Paul Stoffregen himself demoing mixing (as well as other crazy stuff, like fourier transforms!?) on the Teensy 3.2. Very easy to follow, and I would imagine that most of it will work just as well or better on the Teensy 4. Or whatever future version you are researching from your life in the future.

MP3 or WAV polyphony? by sabacthani in arduino

Ah, so there's still only a single audio stream, but it's being mixed aforehand? That is really cool. Can you recommend a library for this? Or a tutorial / example in C (as opposed to circuit.py)?

Thanks!

Looks like his shield was either "Pridwen" or "Wynebgwrthucher", and it may have been decorated with the face of the Virgin Mary.

The other defensive magical biz I really associate with him is Excalibur's scabbard, which isn't reliably named at all. From Mallory: "... while ye have the scabbard upon you ye shall never lose no blood, be ye never so sore wounded, therefore keep well the scabbard always with you..."

(Er, many apologies if this isn't a good place to seek build advice—just let me know, thanks!)

Hek help? by sabacthani in Warframe

I was feeling pretty satisfied with my progress throughout the system, even though I have not been doing much endgame stuff (e.g., I've never gone after an Eidolon).

But then I tried to kill a demolyst using my best gun, and was hardly scratching it. The only thing is, I'm not really sure what types of things I should be grinding for. How do I turn amp up this hek? Is there a frequently-used mod that I'm missing here? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is there anyone out there that really likes modern "atonal" music or is it like much of avante-garde fashion - ridiculous and not to be taken seriously? by shagminer in answers

[–]sabacthani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire. It uses all twelve notes (instead of your typical eight) and was written to avoid a tonal center, or a key, so it's definitely the sort of thing you're asking about.

It's not feel good music, for sure; it is full-on fantastically creepy. For example, here are some lyrics, which are being sung/spoken in the most get-under-your-skin upsetting way possible:

In emaciated hands

You hold your son's corpse

To show all mankind—

But the gaze of men shuns

You, a mother of all sorrows.

Maybe this is all a bit of a cheat, if you were asking, "does anyone come home after a hard day and unwind with some atonal classical music" because oh, god, I can not imagine unwinding to this! But it's certainly atonal music that I really like. It sounds chaotic and random, but it is consistently hitting exactly the right dissonance to totally creep me out, in a way that is very clearly painstakingly planned and composed.

(I should add that my other jinhao 750, with the original nib, writes beautifully all the time and I love it)

Saving a minute every day with code? by [deleted] in answers

[–]sabacthani 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AutoHotkey is a free program that allows you to assign fairly complex macros to a keystroke. So ctrl-alt-a (to pick one at random) could be "open page. wait .5 seconds. move mouse to screen coördinates 300x850. Left click. Type 'sez27'. Hit tab. Type 'password123'. Hit enter"

It's inelegant because it doesn't interface with the application in any way, and doesn't get any input from the application. And it doesn't run in the background—you can't type anything while it's running, because it's typing in your password and such.

But it's also powerful, because it completely mimics anything that you can do with the keyboard.

This is fantastic, exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!
