MaXX is a new one for me, what’s that like to use?
I’ve got a thunderbolt chip on an AMD motherboard, which doesn’t usually happen, and I’m running an LG 5k monitor through it. I use an IBM model M over native PS/2. I’ve got a Ryzen 7, but a GTX 1060 cuz it still works. It’s running Ultramarine Linux, based on Fedora.
Can confirm Gnome has Wayland/xorg switching in the same manner.
Fedora is a great foundation for stability and up to date software. I personally use Ultramarine Linux; it’s a general purpose distro based on Fedora, but with more desktop environments, more available packages, more media codecs (plain fedora leaves out a bunch of codecs that you need to play audio or video files), and some more sane defaults. Even with all that, it isn’t noticeably more bloated than Fedora; it just gives you more options and makes it so that you don’t have to follow a “Things You MUST Do After I stalling Fedora” article.
Wayland works with Nvidia in my experience, and Wayland is remarkably stable and xorg-compatible. Folks will argue about that, but it’s been great for the few years I’ve used it on my laptop and desktop. I know at least Ultramarine installs both, and you can switch between them on the login screen, so give it a shot.
If your games don’t work, it’s quite normal to dual boot windows just for gaming.
Also, you might consider making your home folder a separate partition. That means you can reinstall and switch distros while leaving your documents and media and such in place. That said, partitioning manually is hard to get the hang of; let me know if you want some help on that front.
According to the website, not open source. There are licensing issues with what remains of Commodore.
How do you mean?
There’s also Webkit, which a few foss browsers (ie gnome web, and whatever kde’s browser is called) use instead of Chromium or Gecko, and Swift, a c++ based language that I haven’t personally seen used much outside of iOS development.
I don’t like Apple tho (:
I use Pulse SMS. It has cross platform sybc for every major os, and has a decent feature set. Pretty sure its an electron app though.
Gears and cams, the firmest of ware.
I’ve heard good things about Peppermint, and I personally think Bodhi is neat.
I take a similar approach to my compositions and arrangements on Musescore. Anyone can download the sheet music file and edit it, and most everything I do is under Creative Commons attribution/noncommercial. A lot of other Musescore users do this, it allows for a lot more accessible and free sheet music of both modern and classical music.
I’m pretty happy on Ultramarine. Its like Fedora but with more repos by default, media drivers, more DE options, and a bunch of more reasonable defaults for daily all-purpose use.
whooosh
C++ is the only language I have any experience with, and it’s a common enough choice for embedded development that i didnt see a need to learn a different language. If i had a programmer join who could work on the firmware and show me the ropes, id be willing to consider another language.
Thanks! Render is by a friend of mine, based on my concept sketch
The algorithm will ideally be written to be portable the first time around, but its starting out on the instrument because I think the stradella bass layout lends itself to controlling the algorithm manually. Pressing a chord button simultaneously declares what notes you want played, the harmonic funtion you expext them to fulfill, and thereby how they should be tuned in relation to eachother. Other control schemes have a bit of ambiguity of intent, which we can work around, bit i think Stradella is better.
As for midi specifications, the instrument will have midi input and MPE output (look into MPE if you’re not familiar, great stuff) to controll other digital hardware or software instruments. Once the algorithm is written, I hope it will be repackaged into various other formats (like a VST plugin, or a midi/MPE passthrough that runs on a PC or a dedicated midi hub).
There are a few ways.
The tuning root can be played manually (aloud or just for tuning) on the bass keyboard
another open source algorithm whose name has left me can recognize chords in real time and my algorithm can tune based on that
players can write a midi tuning track ahead of time to play along with
That’s the one! Damned good on the eyes, too.
