Love Zhaoying Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Pet Delight: I tested 5 synthesizers tonight with the new setup, through the mixer. Hopefully this week I'll work on controlling more than 1 at a time using different zones on the keyboards and MIDI remapping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafadilia Wayfarer Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Pet Delight: It is snowing where hubby and I are at in the UK! I love snow! Always so nice to have a tea with the hubby while watching the snow come down. So snow and tea! 🥰 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marigold Devin Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Having enough virgin snow fall on the garden to write rude words in (I needed to de-stress), but for the rain to come along and wash the snow - and the rude words - away before nightfall.

Love Zhaoying Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Pet Delight: Helping me setup keyboards and MIDI. I did manage to get MIDI routing and Filtering tested, with different Zones on a keyboard sending to different synthesizers. Enough accomplishment for one night. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheebyKatz Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Someone actually sort of offended me today, and it sucked, because it's been so long and I've been so hard to offend lately. On the delight side, they actually went out of their way to make things right, and I think that's neato. So yeah. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Pet Delight: I saw a video about an Indian instrument called "Bulbul Tarang" - which seems very much like (based on) the Japanese Taishogoto, so I ordered one! We'll see if it really is much different than the Taishogoto. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbul_tarang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmYzRq5lRhY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InnerCity Elf Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Finally, finally, finally, having passed all the PvC dojos of various regions of a hanafuda card game phone app I carelessly downloaded "for random having to wait around"s, unlocked a kawaii cat profile icon, and being able to do PvP now. Not that there's any more interaction with the P than the C, or I'd have a way of knowing if it's actually a P (they might just fake some bots actually thinking for a sec, unlike the dojo stage C 😛), but, still, it feels a lot more fun, plus, the player names are far more interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafadilia Wayfarer Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Pet Delight: My husband and I traded our Valentine's surprises for one another shortly after midnight since I've not been feeling well and couldn't sleep. He presented me with this beautiful carved wood music box he told me to open. Inside was a velvet bag and inside a beautiful sterling silver ring that had a cubic zirconia heart and hand in bezel setting (He said it is called a hug ring). Inside engraved on the band "I love you forever." The sweet little music box playing our song, "I can't help falling in love with you." (UB40 version of the song is our song.) The card was also just beautiful. Everything was beautiful and perfect. Suffice to say, I started sobbing like a big baby. We can't afford a lot, but it is in these beautiful and perfect moments that make me feel like I have everything. I feel so very humbled and blessed. 😇🥰 Yep...sobbing again like a big baby while he asks if I'm alright....lol Happy Love Day everyone! I hope you get to spend some of it with the people that you love. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriele Graves Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The power came back on but by then I didn't even care (though I'm grateful for it now). I'd been out for a wonderful lunch with some friends, had great food and wine and then had a long sleep in the late afternoon. Best power cut day ever. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Pet delights: Other people's mistakes sometimes have a positive outcome. I ordered a "demo" unit musical instrument that arrived missing the (mostly optional) power supply. The sales tech referred me to their "service" people, I left a message and later saw some emails..asking if I had sent back the power supply with the "returned unit". Since I purchased the unit as a "demo" and had not "returned" anything, the email was confusing until I figured out that it wasn't really a "demo" - someone else had returned it minus the power supply. They had emailed me by accident. (In subsequent emails, they said "yes, a 'demo' could be many things including a returned unit.") Anyway, due to the confusion (and possibly some embarrassment on the company's part), they are sending me a brand new unit and I'll send back the "demo". I get a new unit and save $400...because they forgot the power supply. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Pet Delight: I started working on the next "level" for my BASIC-to-LSL Parser. This level will support UDF's and explicitly creating your own Events, as well as multiple States. (The previous level created Events for you, and all your code went into a hidden "Main()" function.) We'll see if I can still "safely" support some of the more advanced features of the previous "level", especially Asynchronous calls. (This was implemented as "Event call-backs" to "Handlers", and/or returning to the line of code after where you make an Async call.) The reason I started on this "now" is, I got carried away and already added a bunch of features to "Level 0" that I was going to wait on, like "FOR EACH" for Lists / JSON / LSD, Event Filters, etc. Edited February 18 by Love Zhaoying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marigold Devin Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) I found a full bottle of Baileys in my fridge I'd forgotten I'd bought last Sunday. Cheers! I played instant games on the UK's national lottery website and actually logged out £8 better off than I logged in. After a bear of a week with my brother repeatedly managing to block the toilet today was a blockage free day and I actually managed to find time to read the weekly local newspaper.

Love Zhaoying Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Progress on my mixing / recording rack, a touchscreen that integrates with DAW software. (Slate Audio Raven MTi2). Ordered a rackmount PC today for this setup, so my notebook used for SL will be "free" once more! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Pet delight: Today I got "capturing" and replaying MIDI working (saving a sequence played on the keyboard into the DAW and playing it back), and also playing pre-recorded, downloaded MIDI through my own synths, and playing Amazon Music Unlimited through an Alexa stereo input device. This plus yesterday = a good weekend, recording / mixing accomplishment-wise! Edited February 25 by Love Zhaoying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
