1/5/2024 0 Comments Jammit appJammit is currently raising a seed round of funding.įor more, check out the example of Rush’s “Limelight” below, or check out “how it works” here.Jammit, the leading music platform for jamming with original multi-track master recordings, has announced its partnership with iconic metal band MEGADETH. ![]() The latest example would be Lamb of God’s new album, “Resolution.” Humphrey tells us that they have hundreds more songs in the cue, and are starting to see bands come to them who want to release their albums on Jammit in tandem with releasing a new album. Jammit currently has around 200 guitar songs, and approximately the same amount for bass, drums, and vocals. The app itself is free, and individual songs range from about $2 to $6. Then, once you’re done recording, you can send it off to friends, teachers, and groupies. If you’re having trouble hearing what chords are being played, or are struggling with the fingering, just slow the song down and loop it, or get cues from the app itself. This feature, along with a “now” line, which underscores exactly which note you are on to aid in the learning process, are two huge updates for the newest versions of the app. What’s more, the app provides note-for-note transcriptions in standard notation or tablature, the ability to quickly navigate to any part of the song, repeat bars with snap-to-grid looping - and this is the kicker - slow the song down by 90 percent without affecting the pitch. ![]() Allowing you to literally remove the original guitar riff and record yourself right into the song - from your iPad? Pretty cool. While the catalog is not as complete as those we’ve come to expect from iTunes, there’s plenty of classic music to get you started on practicing, mixing, recording, and tinkering. After years of pursuing these leads, Jammit is now home to master tracks from hundreds of artists, including R.E.M., Jane’s Addiction, Nirvana, Rush, The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and more. It’s not easy to get access to original master recordings of songs, and Jammit Founder Scott Humphrey tells us that they’ve spent years working through the red tape to manage licensing fees and be able to offer master tracks to their users. Now you can feel like you’re part of the band - even if, like me, you’re too busy to go on tour with Rush. ![]() This granularity allows musicians to dive in to each nuance of a certain song, and then replace it with their own hot licks. Jammit uses the original multi-track master recordings in its catalog so that users can tune into instrument-specific samples - for guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and vocals. Jammit wants to assist in this approach by allowing musicians to play along with their favorite songs, and to get a taste (at least virtually) of what it’s like to be there in the recording studio. Ideally, when learning to play an instrument (or practicing), we want to play along with our favorite songs - to emulate them to get a better feel for how musicians created these songs - and for learning how to create our own riffs. Today, we’ve learned about another app for iOS (and coming soon to Mac and Windows desktops) called Jammit, which should be of interest to novices and experts alike. While YouTube offers a great jumping off point, it’s disorganized and only just scratches the surface. Of course, the truth is that most musicians learned their instrument by playing along to their favorite songs (probably not mp3s), and imitating what they heard. If you want to learn to play the guitar, or another instrument, you can find plenty of YouTube videos you can strum along to, and the mobile apps and web-based tools that boost your chops continue to get better - and, frankly, astound. ![]() There’s Miso Media’s Plectrum, which “listens” as you play, scrolling the tablature forward as you progress through the song, or Tonara’s interactive sheet music, Stagename‘s game-ified music education for the mass market, WildChords, a musical game that uses audio technology to recognize sound through your device’s microphone, turning your six-string into a game controller, Rocksmith, Rock Prodigy, and these … well, you get the picture. There are a ton of these educational (and often game-ified) apps out there, and we seem to have a new one at TechCrunch Disrupt every year. Arguably, a better (or at least more popular) use for mobile devices is to act not as the instrument itself, but as an educational aid - a tool that helps us to learn how to play our favorite instruments. While magical mobile devices are able to simulate instruments in wild and mind-blowing ways, thankfully most people stick to the actual instruments themselves when learning to play.

1/5/2024 0 Comments Hp rpn scientific calculatorsThere are also some enticing pads on the PCB that appear to support a buzzer and I2C communications, but there’s no firmware for it. The only really good hardware hack for the real calculator adds a Samsung battery with a higher capacity to the machine. You’d think that the real hardware would be a prime platform for hacking, but so far that’s still on the to-do list. Here’s a short snippet:ĬHOOSE(N1, "Area or Volume?", "Area", "Volume") ĬHOOSE(N2, "Choose shape", "Rectangle", "Triangle", "Disk") ĬHOOSE(N2, "Choose solid", "Prism", "Cylinder", "Cone", "Pyramid", "Sphere") The programming language isn’t hard to pick up. If you miss your old calculator, there is a define feature that lets you program like a key macro recording. You can even find some from the Internet. You can write programs on the device or if you have the HP Connectivity software (also free) you can write programs on your PC. The PC and phone versions will also connect just like a real device. For example, there is an application, HP Connectivity Kit, that lets you talk to a real calculator over the network. So this isn’t a case of someone just writing a pretend calculator, these apps act like the real calculator because it is running the same source code. It appears that these apps are not emulating the actual calculator hardware, but are ports of the calculator code. There are also “lite” versions that are free. On iOS the cost right now is $25 and on Android it is $20. They aren’t free, but they are relatively inexpensive. However, you can also get official apps for Android and iOS. It is easy to think that HP provides the free PC software so you’ll go out and buy the real calculator, and that may be part of it. Other applications include plotting, statistics, solvers, and even a spreadsheet that can hold up to 10,000 rows and 676 columns. It is also programmable using a special HP language that is sort of like Basic or Pascal. It also has an amazing number of applications including a complete symbolic math system based on xCAS/Giac. However, the HP Prime isn’t just your 1980s vintage calculator. You might wonder why you need a calculator on your computer, and perhaps you don’t. But still, it will run under Wine with no more than the usual amount of coaxing. Of course, that’s free as in no charge, not free as in open source. To start with, HP has a free app that runs on Windows or Mac that works just like the calculator. ![]() ![]() But if you can’t justify a $150 calculator, there are some cheap and even free options out there to get the experience. It is hard to call it a calculator since the latest variant has a 528 MHz ARM Cortex A7, 256 MB of RAM, and 512 MB of ROM. Today’s students are more likely to have a TI or Casio calculator, but HP is still in there with the HP Prime. The slide rule sword gave way to calculators hanging from your belt loop, and for many engineers that calculator was from HP. Well, really it was a slide rule hanging from your belt, but it sounds cooler to call it a sword. There was a time when being an engineering student meant you had a sword. ![]() Especially with emulators, I usually add a long press function to my start and select buttons. and change it to be all normal controller inputs, then even if it finds it to be a desktop app, you should still be able to map input in the emulator and will only be able to use it as a mouse while holding the home button as I said earlier.Įdit: It may also be that the emulator loses focus, this making the computer think it should use the desktop config. You'll usually find that as long as you hold the home button on the controller, you'll be able to use it as a mouse, once you let go, it should function as a controller.Ībsolute worst case, go to steam settings > Base Configurations > Desktop configuration. Inside of steam, go to settings > Base Configurations > Steam Button Chord configuration. It SHOULDN'T be thinking of the emulator as a mouse as long as you make sure to set controller bindings within steam before launching the emulator. To get around that issue, on the steam end, I changed the controller's d-pad into an analog stick. Best information I was able to get on why that doesn't work over the steam link is that the emulator doesn't support xinput or dinput, whichever the steamlink outputs. Well, with the minor caveat of diagonal inputs not working. I use a DS4, Steam Controller, and wired 360 controller without issue. I use the same setup almost daily with the same emulator. The setup previously mentioned should work fine. And on a final note, if you're using custom controller settings, make sure its set to a standard xinput controller. I'd also recommend setting the file to "read only" because for some reason it likes to unset fullscreen to false, at least for me. Also make sure that Fullscreen is set to true and EmulateFullscreen is set to false (same file, a few sections above), otherwise it will try using desktop control settings by default. It's setup to emulate how an SNES controller would feel so A/B and X/Y are flipped. Load up nf and under the section copy and paste this (its from my file so it SHOULD* work) Sure, I have a few free minutes, if you're having problems mapping the controller, sometimes its easier to add the X-input junk right into the config file. 1/5/2024 0 Comments Gideros get logical dimensionsMedia:getWidth() - returns the width of the image Media:getPath() - returns the path that was used to create object Media.new(width, height) - create blank Media object with provided dimensions Media.new(path) - create new Media object with provided image ![]() Mediamanager:deleteFile(path) - deletes file at provided path Ä®vent.MEDIA_RECEIVE -user selected imageÄ®vent.MEDIA_CANCEL -user canceled media input Ä®vent.VIDEO_COMPLETE -user completed watching video Mediamanager:playVideo(path, force) - play viedo file in given path (bool force to watch till the end, or quit playing on tap) Mediamanager:postPicture(path) - add picture from given path to gallery (or open save file dialog on pc) Mediamanager:takeScreenshot() - capture the screenshot of the app Mediamanager:getPicture() - allow user to select picture from gallery Mediamanager:takePicture() - allow user to provide picture input from camera ![]() Mediamanager:isCameraAvailable() - returns true is you can get picture from camera The dimensions when resizing are all actual dimensions of the image and not logical dimensions in your project GetPicture method gives you copies of the image, so you won't harm the original Inside EAGLView.m method - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)rect Ĭopy contents of Plugins directory into your Gideros installation Plugins directory Ä«y resizing image you will actually resize the file of the image, so there is no going back to upscale it later Inside public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) of class GiderosRenderer Ĭopy contents of Plugins directory into your exported project's Plugins directory Īdd copied files to your Xcode project (Check create groups for added folders) Ĭom.GMedia.onDraw(gl)If Camera support is only optional, add this to your manifest: If your app will require Camera support add this to your manifest:

This is rare, and it typically occurs with individuals who experienced a lower body injury and never rehabilitated it properly. I’ve actually trained a few clients that were so weak and deconditioned that their knees caved inward when performing a body-weight Romanian deadlift (simple hip hinge task with no load). While you won’t see many instances of knee valgus during hip-hinging motions such as conventional deadlifts or good mornings, it does occur on occasion. You’ll commonly see valgus collapse rearing its ugly head during squatting, lunging, jumping, landing, climbing and descending stairs, and even during gait/running. For many individuals, this is easier said than done. The hips must absorb and reverse the sagittal plane flexion torque while stabilizing the femur in the frontal and transverse planes so the knees track over the toes. Essentially, gravity acting on the body induces large adduction and internal rotation torques on the hips while the hips move into flexion. Knee valgus most commonly occurs during upright ground-based activities that require eccentric action of the hip extensors. Knee valgus can lead to patellofemoral (knee) pain, ACL tears, and iliotibial band syndrome. When standing on one limb, the opposite side pelvis will usually drop during valgus collapse as well. It can also be thought of as knee caving as you sink down into a squat or landing. It is characterized by hip adduction and hip internal rotation, usually when in a hips-flexed position (the knee actually abducts and externally rotates). Knee valgus is also referred to as valgus collapse and medial knee displacement. In this blogpost, I am going to teach you all about knee valgus and how to go about correcting it. Hell, you can even go to a public place and examine people’s walking form and detect knee valgus in a minority of individuals. Knee valgus is a very common occurrence in the weight room. 1/4/2024 0 Comments Nys diu internal phone numbersTake pictures, make notes, and notice trends.
