A jam with some December vibes this time, and just in time for the holidays! I want to wish everyone a merry Christmas, and a happy new year!

This one is a bit longer then my usual jams. Kinda got lost in the moment :D Let me know if you want more long tracks or if i should stick to the shorter format. :)

This is also due to the size of traffic these days.

Originaly (if we say, take early html as a starting point) it was mostly text, then later a few images.

These days a simple webpage needs large amounts of code and data just to load. So packets having to get to you in a roundabout way doesn't just make the page take a little longer to load, it will most likely break the page.

But the infrastructure and ways of communication is really hard to take down and except for the few nations that have complete control over their own network, it is nearly impossible to break down communication completely. You would just need to rely on simpler data structures.

As others have stated fewer isp's and core infrastructure providers do make the global network a bit more vulnerable today. And sites and services that lots of people consider "the internet" can be (at least for a while) taken down/offline.

I was actually prepared for the Forbes article to be the type of article it criticizes. I'd say the title is under selling the article, and I bet the downvotes are making the same assumption I was.

I also think the title of article is intentionally made to target the people that actually needs to read the Forbes being critical of yet a nother idiotic attempt by other media outlets to villify gaming.

One often overlooked strength of the E133 is actually as a Midi sequencer. It has very high amount of tracks and high recording resolution for sequencing midi tracks compared to any other midi sequencer out there.

If I could have recorded midi live during performance with it, I probably wouldn't have bought my korg SQ-64

Most TE products are definitely extremely priced. I'm not getting pissed about it though. There is obviously a market for them and there is little in direct competition when it comes to size/form factor + feature set.

That being said, not worth it for me. Would rather buy one of my big dream synths for that price.

I have the Ep133 and while it has its quirks and limits, it's a fun device at a lot more reasonable price.

I think the main reason is that StarCraft sprites were based on 3d models so either they can be made higher definition by working from the original assets or they simply upscale better.

Wc1 and 2 mainly uses hand drawn pixel art sprites, and it looks like they have gone with the "crude upscale + retouch" approach. Makes them look like the super scale filters lots of people used on emulators back in the day.

Honestly I think original art and a solid crt filter is the way to go with old Pixel classics. But i know this is a divisive position.

I think there is a lot of Mythos surrounding "the almighty algorithm" and getting fewer views on posts containing words advertiser's don't want associated with their products.

No obviously the forces of Ukraine would be scared once he rode in on his unicorn.

Good tip. Many devices have built inn Midi interface capabillities. This is a good hack for those who want to use a daw or computer sequencer with midi devices as well, without a dedicated midi interface.

Yes. I was about to post "time traveling Elon musk gets the idea for hyperlopp" :D

Virtual environments are really not viable for music production. Latency and other inconsistensies makes it a no-go.

High level Music production requires very low audio and input latency in addition to consistent and 100% accurate sound reproduction.

A virtual environment is a wildcard here that I at least would not bother trying to make work. (Not saying it can't be done, just saying it would potentially be a big headache and extremely conditioned on spesific hardware, drivers and configuration settings.)

Just finished my first completely improvised live set. 2 hours and 19 minutes of various chill vibes.

I have been dreaming of a setup where i could just flow live and go where the music takes me and with my newly completed Korg Volca Suitcase, i have something that can help me achieve this.

Thank you to all of you who popped in during the live session!

This one started out in my backyard, deciding I wanted to try to sample my ukulele on the EP133. It then sorta just grew into this summer track.

Setup: EP133: Ukulele sample, drums and a few other samples. Micromonsta 2: Leads, custom patches by me. Exquis: Midi controller in MPE mode controlling the MM2.

MM2 goes into the input on the EP133. Recorded directly into OBS on a Motu M2 interface. Postproduction: Slight EQ adjustments in Davinci Resolve before render.

This is my first attempt at a chiptune-type Jam. Thought you guys might like it :) Please don't be to harsh :)

While not very purists in its form, and a bit liberated from limitations of any specific 8-bit system, I tried to use samples and/or create patches true to the genre.

 

This one starting out with me trying to get some retro/chiptune sounds out of the MicroMonsta 2. Then i though "hey, i bet some crunchy 8-bit drums would work great on the EP133.. then one thing led to another.. and suddenly there was a Jam :D

Micromonsta 2: Lead and performed bass. Bitimbral set to split, so i can play both parts on the Exquis. (On the last part i set it to stack and play both presets combined)

EP133 Drums, Sequenced Basslines + chip style arp in B section.

New Jam! This time its all about the retro gaming feel. Started out as me having fun making new chiptune-like presets on the MicroMonsta 2, ended up as a Jam. 😎🤖
