I have it loaded on my iPad but have never taken the time to dive in. It was good to fully get my hands dirty editing samples and tweaking the sound to what I like and not just loading the .wav on a pad and calling it a day.

How are you managing loading samples back and forth from your main computer to your Koala app?

 

Setting up the triggers with midi should allow me to send gates to say an Erica Synth pico drum set.

I’m wondering if anyone’s given this a try and how did it work out for you? I feel like I could just play something in way faster than programming.

So yeah, anyone literally tracking in drums with your synths using midi from an electronic kit?

What got me thinking about this was watching this video from Drumeo featuring II from Sleep Token. Worth the watch if you are into drumming and percussion.

At the same, does “painting our selfs into a corner” loose having true ending to stories?

Constraints and limitations drive creativity, but you have accept a final product at some point and move to another universe/story.

Made a place to jam and have fun while I learn piano and finger drumming in the office. Separating learning from playing has been awesome to have.

Edit: I promise I’ll post the music that I make here! Pictures are good, but I need to back it up with music.

No need to put homelab in quotes, it’s whatever is your lab. We all have different setups that grow and shrink as we learn.

Let me show you a smaller option than a full rack amp. I used this exact setup before except using an AirPort Express instead of the pi.

I would do the Pi (your plan) -> this -> bookshelf speakers like these.

Does everything have to be all in one, or are you open to exploring passive speakers and a receiver?

Since this is in Homelab, I’m assuming you have access to a 19” rack. You could rack mount any amplifier (I like crown amps personally) and then feed either a Bluetooth or Raspberry Pi using a line/headphone amp. That also gives you the ability to continuing adding amps to feed more speakers around the house. That’s my homelab answer.

Home theater answer would be to look at a home theater receiver.

What I wish it had was something similar to Roon which would be a Spotify integration. If I search for something and I don’t have it in my personal library, let me just stream it from my streaming service subscription.

I’ve had a whole marriage that lasted shorter than since I’ve backed this game.

 

So I just went a little crazy and bought a few hardware synths. Every single day since I have jammed after work as a meditative exercise. And some of this shit is sick (to me).

I’d like to be able to capture some of these jams. I have a Zoom F3 for recording, and I understand the entire recording process. My question is if anyone is out there jamming with synths, how do you grab snippets worth sharing and then putting that out into the community?

(I know the sub seems dead, but hey.. who knows)

I deal with a lot of kids fresh out of college. The surprising part is how many don’t know what Windows File Explorer even is, much less file manipulation. Everything is saved to the desktop.

We just turn them sideways on a shelf at work. We use a lot of micro form factor and they look slick in a row on a 1u shelf. We fit 3 or 4 (can’t remember) wide across 6 shelves.

Bruh, all of this sounds creepy as shit.

You are completely right on that one. I had totally forgotten that incident.

As a rebuttal, I really should have put a /s for sarcasm. My comment was based on the disproportionate amount of these incidents happening to minorities and people of color.

Fair enough with the USB. I work in television broadcast so XLR is default minimum in my mind.

So with that said, I would highly recommend the Rode NT-USB Mini. Rode would then have options to upgrade down the line.

 

When scrolling through the main feed eventually I will hit a point where it’s roughly the same 20 or so posts on repeat. The posts might not be in the exact same order and new content will be mixed in.

In Apollo it would eventually hit “the bottom” of the feed and it wouldn’t go any further. This feels like the app is fetching the next posts but without a full page of results it's returning the same posts again and again.

Anyone else seeing this?

 
 

So I’m really starting to consider starting a few small communities just to help grow the communities. I have never moderated anything and I am just curious on what to expect. Things such as tools to use or things to look out for?
