| Maxdamantus | Note to self: don't run fluidsynth as root on N900 with `-z 64 -c 2` | 09:50 |
|---|---|---|
| Maxdamantus | N900 + fluidsynth + keyboard + b-griff keyboard interpreter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv-cP56xlog | 12:08 |
| sicelo | lovely! long live N900 :) | 12:10 |
| Maxdamantus | fluidsynth gets quite laggy though at those double notes. | 12:13 |
| Maxdamantus | maybe need to use a simpler instrument or something, since I've noticed performance varies quite a bit depending on the instrument. | 12:14 |
| Maxdamantus | Just need to figure out how to turn the blue light off. | 12:15 |
| sicelo | does the blue light get stuck on when you're done using usbmode? the last time i used usb host on N900 that was an issue i observed | 12:21 |
| Maxdamantus | Yes. | 12:23 |
| Maxdamantus | It at least goes away after removing the "PatternBoost" pattern from /etc/mce.ini and restarting mce (`killall mce`) | 12:23 |
| Maxdamantus | but I have a suspicion it's just in some sort of error state, since the regular charging pattern doesn't come on (just shows solid orange while charging) | 12:24 |
| Maxdamantus | Meh, the SMS notification pattern still works at least, so it's okay. | 12:26 |
| Wikiwide | It's fascinating... Does anybody else read epub books on Maemo 5? | 13:09 |
| sicelo | i do | 13:10 |
| sicelo | i use Dorian. other readers don't work well for me, or my epubs | 13:11 |
| KotCzarny | she left | 13:11 |
| KotCzarny | :) | 13:11 |
| sicelo | oh | 13:12 |
| sicelo | haha | 13:12 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | wiki.maemo.org cert issues? my fireFox goes berserk about "either your local clock is wrong or SOMETHINBG NASTY BAD is going on on that website!!!" | 13:28 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | warfare: xes: https://i.imgur.com/AgCJvw4.png | 13:30 |
| xes | DocScrutinizer05: done | 14:46 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | :-D many thanks! | 14:47 |
| xes | DocScrutinizer05: yw :) | 14:50 |
| brolin_empey | Maxdamantus: Which keyboard layout is that on the full-size hardware keyboard? | 17:25 |
| brolin_empey | You can use the N900 with its touch screen as a musical keyboard but you cannot play a chord with the resistive touch panel. | 17:26 |
| brolin_empey | I think the program I used is named maesynth? | 17:28 |
| brolin_empey | Sigh. I thought I could reuse a Socket 939 motherboard from 2006 but apparently at least 4 electrolytic capacitors have bulged/blown since this motherboard was last used years ago: | 18:12 |
| brolin_empey | https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EM4stjFR8uc/Xa3U8Lva5hI/AAAAAAAADdQ/ew4pjiwAWO8ffqj3bgdubuEH6VxoXqH-ACK8BGAsYHg/s0/2019-10-21.jpg | 18:12 |
| brolin_empey | https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UGvDRxad2pQ/Xa3Vx6dZpuI/AAAAAAAADdg/tdLZKX_ZWzA0YsIJRbk1Xo46-ZfrK1syACK8BGAsYHg/s0/2019-10-21.jpg | 18:12 |
| brolin_empey | This is why I do not assume that a computer that has been powered off for years still works. | 18:17 |
| CatButts | so the caps just bloated on their own? | 18:32 |
| CatButts | with no electricity? | 18:33 |
| CatButts | I mean, I expect caps to become bad over time when left idle, but not physically visible damage | 18:33 |
| brolin_empey | I do not know when the capacitors bulged because this computer has sat unused for multiple years. | 18:45 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I imagine it would be possible if stored in warm temperatures for a long time. Normally they fail in use but still work until discharged. | 19:37 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | fix them | 20:00 |
| Maxdamantus | brolin_empey: I'm using it as a b-griff layout, like on a type B chromatic button accordion. | 20:37 |
| Maxdamantus | so the key directly below (slanted slightly to the right) is always a semitone above, and the key directly to the right is always three semitones (minor third) above. | 20:38 |
| Maxdamantus | https://gist.github.com/Maxdamantus/2f4677af369790b79f547a010bc7a522 | 20:39 |
| Maxdamantus | (that includes the number row as well, so you get duplicate fingerings between the top and bottom rows) | 20:43 |
| brolin_empey | Maxdamantus: OK. I think I have forgotten much of what I knew about music theory, including how to read traditional music notation as used on sheet music. | 20:49 |
| Maxdamantus | brolin_empey: here's a web version if you're interested: https://maxdamantus.gitlab.io/bayan/ | 21:13 |
| Maxdamantus | one notable thing about the layout is that all of the relative positions of the keys correspond to particular intervals, unlike on a piano layout, where the key to the right might be up a semitone or a whole tone. | 21:14 |
