@lore I remember an interview with A Guy Called Gerald where he used at least two 101s, a few 303s and an 808 for Voodoo Ray. He described how they would just make it work and went on to say, in essence, that computers make it much easier.

For some applications, Acid, the amount of equipment required is absolutely absurd when chasing those unique sounds. Yeah there's still a demand for the equipment and last I checked there are parts kits for making them. The kits were designed by people wanting that sound and honestly that's the only way to get one anywhere near affordable.

So I see someone learning how to build a synthesizer but not using ancient tech to do it. That's fantastic and congratulations on your progress.

It might not sell very well because it's not made with parts from the 80s nor is it every synthesizer ever made but new. It seems like a difficult product to sell.

To keep the same theme, it makes sense to make it expandable. A cheap tablet with a minimal OS could add even more capability to it but so would an SBC.

@amerika @thor Roman roads have no purpose anymore and хрущёвка are superior in many ways to traditional housing. They are very inexpensive, make people use the stairs and promote a communal atmosphere.

@thor It is a Subtropical climate that's closer to the equator. The radiation from the sun damages skin and it's a very humid environment. If it is near a large port, cargo ships have been linked to respiratory issues.

@lore Might as well put the cheapest tablet available in it, run a custom OS trimmed to only useful features and have that to interface with the device.

The tablet has a decent SoC with decent features. Midi support is standard and reconfiguration could be done with a simple menu. Yeah it's added cost but the value added would be significant. One would no longer have to interface with a microcontroller if they don't want to. All the regular functionality could bypass the tablet and go to its own MIDI port.

As long as the tablet runs a custom OS, it should allow for an even more flexible platform. Having the tablet one and the pure one essentially the same would keep prices lower while attracting different buyers. Perhaps the second model should have that option.

@thor Open a window?

Maybe perfume should have emissions standards too.

@admitsWrongIfProven @Uraael @stux @freemo .3048 Meters. It's just like weight in Grams or temperature in Celsius.

For me, 193cm tall, a woman with less than average height is scary. In the US we have firearms and the height they are kept at on display leaves them pointed at my groin. Much like a sidearm being easily accessed, so too are sensitive areas.

It's possible that a female lab partner grabbed something that wasn't her bag and left a man with a pocket protector blushing with a very strange look on their face.

@lupyuen The malware would be the reason why I would consider buying one.

@lore Oh so the Chinese way is bad? Perhaps it would be beneficial to look into Singapore.

@lore Demoscene is beautiful at times.

@StampedingLonghorn @thor @realcaseyrollins Glutamate toxicity of a down. There should be a hammer vs Glutamate damage test. I have my money on the hammer.
