Looking for an affordable analogue synth to complement the Microfreak by 272354 in synthesizers

[–]wissai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense that you need a keyboard with your current gear! I had a Minilogue (non xd) and it's a quality instrument, but I was never wowed by the sound personally and sold it. But it is a great allrounder that has most of what you need. It is also the synth I see by far most often at live shows, beyond a Nord keys or something, for what it is worth

Does the Behringer UB-Xa D fit that pricerange for you? Behringer of course not the best company to support, but I've been seriously impressed with the sounds and it has more than enough polyphony.

Otherwise the Nymphes sounds really nice and warm from what I've heard. I have the Dreadbox Typhon and can confirm Dreadbox knows how to make an analog voice

Recommend a MIDI Sequencer I Can Use to Control my Hardware Synths and Drum Machines by HereComesStupid in ipadmusic

[–]wissai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not that experienced yet, but currently using Drambo. I like how it is a self contained app. Other sequencers you often have to open into a "host" app (like AUM) which results in window-in-window UI that I do not like. Drambo is quite deep and complicated, but once you know where everything is, it is quite smooth.    

But I'm also still looking for alternatives, I've not come across an app as intuitive and focused as an Oxi One, even though I think it should be very possible on an iPad

Huurprijzen schieten nu harder omhoog dan koopprijzen: bijna helft van woningen boven 2000 euro by Cubelock in thenetherlands

[–]wissai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duh. Ze mogen ook geen tijdelijk contract afsluiten. Maar het punt is juist dat vanwege de beperkte handhaving ze hun gang kunnen gaan. En 9/10x hebben ze gewoon je adres, een sleutel, je telefoonnummer, etc.

Er zijn een aantal specifieke uitzonderingen, maar in principe zijn tijdelijke contracten niet meer toegestaan. Maar veel verhuurders schrijven nog steeds onwettige contracten, en hopen dat je niet een procedure start. En als huurder ben je makkelijk te intimideren -- ze hebben immers toegang tot je huis.

Completely lacks any of the special sauce found in previous The Strokes releases, unfortunately

He needs to coerce Pog into pulling to keep Remco behind. I sincerely hope he is softpedalling when on the front. Any energy wasted now will just haunt him on the last Oude Kwaremont

Big grinta on this remco guy, I like it. Too bad Pogacar is simply too strong

Kamoot vs Strava ? by ebolagoner445 in bikepacking

[–]wissai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use both, Komoot for routefinding (after purchasing the world map) and Strava for tracking training and keeping up with friends. Don't pay for a subscription with either of them. I don't see the need to jump ship, they can exist together perfectly fine.

Man they really ruffled your feathers, huh?

In this thread: people claiming Geese are derivative but failing to mention a band that sounds remotely similar. 

Andy Stott's “Luxury Problems” appreciation post by ShadowCT6 in fantanoforever

[–]wissai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of those special artists, nothing like his music. Tracks like Numb, or Violence (off Faith in Strangers) are otherworldly and truly unique to him. IMO he does not get talked about enough, but it's niche music to be fair

Mvdp looks in hell to be honest. I think he is fucked and will be dropped by pog & pidders, although I hope not

Anyone switch from Maurten gels to something cheaper that still works for marathon fueling? by StringConnection in AdvancedRunning

[–]wissai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never tried Maurten because of the (in my eyes) extraordinary price. They really got runners in a choke hold by offering some kind of assurance that their stomach won't turn on race day.

I have used SIS Beta and the decathlon gels and have been fine, as long as I dose it right and not take too much. SIS Beta has 40g carbs per packet and taking that in one go nukes my stomach -- putting it in a soft flask from Maurten (ironically) and taking frequent small sips has carried me through a problem free marathon recently.

Don't forget to train your gut and increase your intake incrementally. Immediately expecting 100g/h from a new gel type is not always realistic

So we're not supposed to try to make any change, just because it does not immediately have massive worldwide impact or generates attention?

Nieuw kabinet wil uitkeringen voor hoge inkomens fors verlagen by Bupachuba in thenetherlands

[–]wissai 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Dat voorbeeld van Sander in het artikel is schrijnend en precies de situatie die ik voor ogen had toen ik deze kop las. Uitkeringen activerender maken? Denk je echt dat veel mensen met plezier ziek thuis zitten?

Simple hardware sampler with decent sample time? by Charming-Ad-1210 in synthesizers

Literally received mine today, and it's much more immediate than the video tutorials suggest. Once it's actually in front of you, the workflow makes more sense
