Is there a decent midi guitar? I'm wondering because it would make transcribing a lot easier.

Warmoth uses a 10-14" compound radius So for like five or six frets there's a 13" radius

tacodaemon posted:Speaking of drums, I've noticed a weird sort of "bathtub curve" wherein: (1) people who don't know anything about drums figure Ringo must be great because he was in the Beatles; (2) people who know something about playing drums think Ringo sucks; but (3) people who are really fantastic and respected on drums have this weird sort of reverential attitude about Ringo. I used to run a Beatles bootleg radio show deal on the goon station and from listening to countless bootlegs I can say that Ringo basically was on point 99% of the time. Whatever idea they tried he would have a beat ready for it. You really hear it during the sessions for what became Let It Be. Everyone is coming up with an old cover or some crazy idea and he would instantly be supporting it with solid drumming that supported the ideas. I think people who play in jam bands are more likely to appreciate that kind of drumming since you really have to listen to each other and play what fits.

i dunno, i'm not sure how technically proficient it is or anything but i just gave Peace Sells a listen for the first time since like '89 and it turns out that i don't hate it. I doubt i'd throw in on just to listen to it, but he seems like he can, ya know...play a bit. that symphony video tho...that poo poo's something else. How about a terrible lack of instruments? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEwNrjvNiYs weedely deedely

I met this person at a conference, as a lot of my research is directly involved in the maker movement. Someone asked why she went with an FPGA when it was overkill for the project (an arduino could handle it fine) and then it would need a lotttt less batteries. 18 AA's?! Subject was changed. I'm working on a similar project where a guitar can emit tones but also have effects that can be tweaked using touch-sensitive and light-sensitive sensors, except it's not built around a stupid C64 chip and won't sound like a goofy synth. Oh, and it will run on a small, light NiMH battery pack and not a gently caress-off amount of AA's. e: comes along bort posted:jesus wept It's like the fingerboards of guitars! booshi fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Apr 29, 2014 |
