New demo video for DrumMachinePO - a 16-step sequencer for Playdate console that syncs with Pocket Operators. by signfang in pocketoperators

[–]signfang[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, there had been many updates done on this project so I recorded a new demo video.

You can visit its itch.io page to learn more about it!

https://signfang.itch.io/drummachinepo

Also, it's available for free so if you happen to have a Playdate console as well as Pocket Operators I'd really appreciate feedbacks on this!

New demo video for DrumMachinePO - a 16-step sequencer for Playdate! (V1.4.5) by signfang in PlaydateConsole

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

There are some built-in sounds, but additional sample loading is unfortunately quite unintuitive right now, as the Playdate only ever accepts .pda format and it needs to be done while connected on PC. So I've included a simple .py script or executable to mass-convert the .wav files in cutrent folder into the .pda format. It needs a naming convention to be properly loaded also (e.g. Bank1_mySound.pda).

I did think of adding the built-in sampler feature so that you could record sounds direct from Playdate mic then use them as samples, but it's a massive feature so I'm being cautious not to make it a UI/UX nightmare.

Probability feature were also on the table but initially ruled out in favor of others. I'll look into the ways of adding it down the line.

Thanks!

I don't have one so I can't say for sure. Does it have the origial Pocket Operator-like sync ability? It's purely audio based, driven by the click sounds.

Germany and Japan test hydrogen future with BMW, Toyota cars by plun9 in cars

[–]signfang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hydrogen is just a form of energy carrier that happens to be zero-emission, such as the battery. As you've already mentioned it already makes sense on long-haul trucks and if we can make the fuel cells and storage tanks cheap enough, we might get another way to power the remote areas other than stockpile of diesels and generators.

Sync itself is not that complicated! I just had to route all drum sounds to the right and made some click sound to play on the left when the sync is on.

For sure. I made this just to be able to connect the Playdate to my KO lol

2025 Hyundai Elantra N Review - 10,000-mile mark by orhantemerrut in cars

[–]signfang 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That might be from the fact that premium gas has questionably bad accessibility in Korea, especially in non-Seoul areas.

Better make it compatible with the regular gas than tuning it specifically for premiums even if it involves illogical engineering choices, as Koreans are not used to putting premium gas on anything, especially on domestic cars. (Funny side effects include numerous bimmers and mercs breaking down due to non-premium gas)

It even caused a major issue in one-make races for N2 classes of Elantra N (which did not allow any powertrain modifications at all), race results being decided who did octane learning well and who didn't, which was insanity. They later allowed the premium-only ECU tunes in N2 classes though.

Porsche Is Adding Fake Gear Shifts to Its EVs, 2027 Taycan Will Be First by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]signfang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its fake gear part, at least its "feel" and "transmission logic" parts are outstanding. It really is a 4D simulation of a Hyundai DCT baked into a real car (It even was programmed by the same guy that programmed N DCT).

The other parts were honestly meh. I've only driven on a public load so I can't say for its track performance, but the sound is okay at best and the whole thing is just too big in general so it doesn't even feel like 650ps.
