My Pops had a prophet 2000 the mid 80's. The first home digital sampling synth. It had all these options and more to apply to either the basic hum or to any sample. It had reverb, attack, sustain, decay, multiple preset wave forms, speed (of the sample), pitch and tone, and probably 1/2 dozen more I can't recall, all in a keyboard size unit, not a full pipe organ size. The samples came or could be recorded on 3 1/2" floppies, and you could store a huge number of presets to modify them as you wished at the push of one button, not a complete retuning with multiple dials. I had fun remixing James Brown and Prince, but never learned to play well.
Amazing the advancements they made in just 15 years.

This is going around but if'n it ain't posted here, it should be. Here's a video of some note...https://vimeo.com/528295543

The notable part starts @ 25:00. I'd post it but not sure how to preset the video to start at that point...or the whole procedure, really. Maybe you could, if it hasn't, or you think it's worthwhile.

Thanks.

Alright, I'll give it a *promote, at least let it get 10 to properly Sift.

I'd be curious if somebody is off on the side controlling when the loops come in and out, or if she just has it all preset, and just has to perform it on time...

EDIT: Seems Google is one's friend: https://www.blackghostaudio.com/blog/how-to-create-live-loop-performances

*dead -- "No Preset. This video is not available because it has no video stream."

When people borrow something, like your car, and feel the need to adjust every single fucking thing in it. You really don't need to mess with the sunroof, the radio presets (volume and on/off, stop there). And the side mirrors....those things once set cover a large portion of visibility how in the hell do you manage to make it so you can't see a single thing in it and manage to safely drive down the road?


People who bark/yell/scream at other people's dogs trying to get them to be quiet and just making it worse. Who also don't seem to understand that the dog is barking at their dumb ass because they are acting weird and it would STFU if they would ignore it and move on.

People who insist on getting into an already crowded elevator, despite every single person needing to get into uncomfortable proximity to each other to accomplish this. Wait for the next elevator prick.

People who walk onto elevators before actually looking if there is someone trying to get out. This goes in with the above one, they just make shit more difficult. You want on the elevator, great I understand. Wait for people to get the fuck out of it instead of making me feel like you're trying to pickpocket me with the all the bumping and shoving. This one is a real big peeve of mine. Along with people who don't seem to understand how doorways work and that you should move out of the way so other people can go in and out without risk of bashing you or your kid in the head with the door handle.

People who walk on the wrong side of the aisle for the direction they are going. This goes for anything...buffet bars, roads, sidewalks.....etc. There's a traffic flow, get into it...fighting it just makes everything take longer.

Grocery stores, when two people stop with their carts right next to each other and block everyone else. Especially when they don't seem to notice they are doing it, even though people say excuse me......and they just step to the side half a step like that's going to fix it. Add on to this, what is the deal with people not understanding that walking right next to the aisle entrance and exits makes it really f-in hard to see you? If you're going to do this you need to watch for people trying to get out of the aisles if you don't want to get bashed with a cart because they think it's clear since you're hiding behind the 6 foot stack of dog food.

People who wait for parking spots that are about 10 seconds walk closer than the next available spot. Instead of just parking and getting on with their day. Full parking lot? Sure, wait for a spot. Can SEE a empty spot 2 car lengths down? Park there asshole instead of snarling up traffic because you just have to have the 15 foot closer to the door spot.

Old people driving who are clearly not safe to be driving. You'll see this during working hours at doctors offices and hospitals. I understand the need for them to be able to get to the doc, but I'd rather not get ran over because someone won't take grandma or grandpa's license away because it would inconvenience them. Used to get allergy shots, I about got ran over twice on foot, backed over countless times (because they can't turn their heads to look and just back out blind...and fast), and hit trying to exit the place in my vehicle (short turns because they just don't have time to stop and make a proper turn). And I only had to walk a couple hundred feet to my vehicle and the door each way. Was dangerous just getting near the doors due to all the people dropping off or picking up. One guy even yelled at me because him doing 30-40 miles an hour in a small half filled parking lot seemed perfectly acceptable to him and walking to my car along the edge of the parking row was highly inappropriate to him since he needed it all to turn his car at those speeds.

Could go on and on. But clearly people who ignore social niceties or make nuisances of themselves really bug me. Little dumb things like that can just set the mood for a lot of your day, being a prick in a lot of these cases is not actually making things go faster...more often they slow it down and just piss everyone off. No benefit at all to anyone and yet it happens all the time.

I use Ableton Live for live looping, it rocks you can preset how many measures to loop and use any foot pedal to start/stop/overdub i have a simple usb foot pedal set to the ableton macro

and i can use guitar, keyboard, vocals, shakers, etc in a constantly overlaying loop

similar to this, this is good though

The "I got mine, fuck you" mindset offends me even more.
You mean the "I get what I earned" mindset?

The mindset that says "I will decide what to do with what I earned"?

No, the "Every single thing in my life I got by hard work. No preset circumstances whatsoever helped me. No government ever contributed to the stability of my environment. No socialist roads, communication system, schools, or fire or police departments ever made a difference. I got mine because I =deserved= it. Get your grubby IRS hands off my income." mindset.

Well now it becomes a matter of degree where we're arguing how MUCH is enough. A quarter of your income? A third? Two thirds?


How much should the government be responsible for? Basic protection of basic rights? Limited protection from catastrophic circumstances? General welfare? (This is to say nothing of the government's ability to manage those responsibilities we choose to designate to it.)

Your argument (and Stormsinger's) also misses a critical point:
Just because we don't want to give up our income to the government to subsidize one welfare program or another doesn't mean we aren't charitable people. I would rather designate my charitable giving to institutions and organizations that I trust will manage it well and make effective use of it.
The government is not known for its efficiency or efficacy.
What Stormsigner might interpret as "I got mine, fuck you", in some cases might be "I got mine, and I'll give some to those in need. I'd just rather give it of my own free will in meaningful ways than have it legislated by and into the Washington bureaucracy. "

It's the inexpensive ($120.00) Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens. Great workhorse lens, really use it most of the time I shoot video on the 7D.

I shoot on the 7D with a preset called "superflat" that folks who love tweaking such stuff shared on the 7D channel @ Vimeo. It gives you a very low contrast slightly washed out looking video, which gives the user latitude to color grade, add effects and so on with out sacrificing picture quality.

Many of the shots I just adjusted brightness and contrast to my liking and on a few shots I adjusted color tone and added vignetting to the frame. The shots of the alligator and the hippos are the two I added vignetting to if memory serves.

Cool, thanks for sifting!

Zapp: You see, Killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them, until they reached their limit and shutdown.

OR

Zapp: Now, like all great plans, my strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it. On my command all ships will line up and file directly into the alien death cannons, clogging them with wreckage.

> You think they will dream of electric sheep?

Do you think they will have preset sheep like poses?

So how does the rate card stop him gambling? It is supposed to have some preset value that both parties agree upon?

Yea that song (and every remix of it) is great.
