I really like it. I saw Kraftwerk using it live and they know what they’re doing. I actually picked up one like yours second hand as a backup but haven’t felt the need to try it.

Edit: video of a live performance, not in person unfortunately

Actually have you watched this? (timestamped link), that looks like a setup that better would fit your needs.

Can you just physically line out to line in? I can’t think of a better way though there may be one.

I usually watch YouTube and find samples on my phone so I download there. I used to use NewPipe but it broke for a bit and I the found Seal. If you’re on Android do you have F-Droid?

Bitwig Studio! Came for the grid, then barely ended up touching it since the whole DAW is so modular.

The mod strip on the Keystep is very nice and I’m not sure I could go back to a mod wheel tbh. That’s an interesting technique I’ll have to try. What I love about bitwig is how it’s built on small tools and everyone will come up with their unique way of applying them. I’ve been hooked on Amigo Sampler since it launched (very reasonably priced) and still come up with new ideas and how to build upon previihs ones. New Amigo update made the root key modulatable so I’ve been having fun with that.

It’s hard to name one, basically just experimenting with the various modulation modules. For example recently I played around with the Select-4 one (low quality rec) to make stretch and phase adjustments at varying degrees.

Have you played around with the modulators at all? Or have any other general questions?

I don’t want to move too far and encroach on anyone so I’m open to outlining the ".lol"or making it rainbow but I want it to be somewhat clear it’s a url as it’s already not a common tld.

Nice art but you cut off my domain :(

Edit: we can share the space but I want to keep my “.lol”

What was there before anyway?

I’m here for it. Sometimes it takes a period of posting every few days before others start joining in.

And here I am trying to manually spell my url concisely.

I am not equipped to have thoughts on this.

I had a similar experience. I could finally access things by luckily I went mostly secondhand or software based. Still, GAS is very real and we all must reach our breaking point.

MIDI and the surface level tech aspects were a good overlap of interest as well. But I still think there’s some more for me to learn there. Especially with midi sync.

This is a great read, thank you for sharing. While I do appreciate just how cheaply I was able to get a studio like setup at home I do still take things like automation for granted. The world we’re living in now in terms of accessibility of tools is unreal.

Katy Perry comes to mind. From contemporary Christian to provacative pop.

Finishing songs is really important.

I wish this would “click” for me.

Sounds like you’ve enjoyed the journey nonetheless! It’s not all about releasing things for others. I do this for myself first and foremost.

But for large website operators, the choice to block large language model (LLM) crawlers isn’t as easy as it may seem. Making some LLMs blind to certain website data will leave gaps of knowledge that could serve some sites very well (such as sites that don’t want to lose visitors if ChatGPT supplies their information for them), but it may also hurt others. For example, blocking content from future AI models could decrease a site’s or a brand’s cultural footprint if AI chatbots become a primary user interface in the future. As a thought experiment, imagine an online business declaring that it didn’t want its website indexed by Google in the year 2002—a self-defeating move when that was the most popular on-ramp for finding information online.

Really curious how this will end up
