  1. Mine said that from now on, the only organ I am allowed to buy would be for a transplant. 😁
  2. I'd suggest not worrying about picking the right language and build environment at this point, because as your skills and the project complexity develop, you will be rewriting it anyway. Take a look at PySimpleGUI. The PySimpleGUI Cookbook has many examples. It might be what you need at this point and could get you quickly started on Python and Python GUI development.
  3. This part is a microcontroller and needs to be programmed before use. That said, I wonder if the one you removed could be reprogrammed?
  4. Something like an FC-7 or similar?
  5. 1. Horn players that practice during someone's solo. 2. Guitar players whose approach to comping is scrubbing the strings while gripping a chord rather than playing a rhythmic figure.
  6. If you get this information, please post it here. It would be good to have, just in case...
  7. The short answer is that the "throw" of the horn depends on the geometry of the horn that is loading the driver. Whether of a constant-directivity type, exponential, conical, or some computer designed thing in between, they all take the total acoustical power of the driver and disperse it in some defined pattern. I once bought a Renkus-Heinz constant directivity horn, bolted it up to a driver and measured its on-axis response. Because the response of the driver was flat, I was expecting the response of the horn & driver to be flat with frequency. It was not. In fact, the response reduced as the frequency increased. I thought something was dreadfully wrong until I realized that because it was a constant-directivity type, the acoustical power was distributed to create the constant-directivity pattern. There was a fall off in response, but the fall off was the same off-axis as on. An exponential horn response would have been flat on-axis but would have fallen quickly off-axis. BTW, the fall-off in response with frequency was easily compensated by EQ. I guess that wasn't a short answer after all. 😜
  8. Try this - converted to mp3. Pinwheel_First_Vent2_Second.mp3
  9. Mine. Oops. Missed the “well known” part.
  10. I had a 50s era drummer tell me he used a John Deere tractor seat. Big fella.
  11. A latency measurement to your ISP will be the minimum. It will go up as it is routed to the ultimate destination. For example, I ran a speed test using Ookla which also reports the ping time and checked against a few different servers, all in my state. Though all had nearly the same throughput (limited by my I$P), the ping time varied from 18 to 46 ms.
  12. That's the number by logging in to my asus router and using it's network tools.
  13. I saw Joey DeFrancsco with Byron Landham, Jake Langley as the only performers for an event sponsored by a regional jazz society. This was in Ft. Pierce, FL and there were about 15 people there. Joey came out and said something like "Kind of a smallish crowd, but we're going to play like there are 10,000 of you." They all played great.
  14. Nice idea but good luck with the 10 ms latency. My ping today is 18 ms to my ISP's first router. I was hoping Starlink would help in this area but AFAICT, it is claiming 30 ms maximum.
  15. Agree with the mid-70s, to which I would add Ronnie Laws album "Fever". Kenny Gorelick's first solo album didn't hit until 1982, Jeff Lorber producing.
  16. Yes, I empathize. Advice: Have you read "Effortless Mastery" by Kenny Werner? Good music has little to do with chops or jazz. I once heard a story that Miles told Scofield, who was playing with him at the time, "When you get through playing what you know, play something."
  17. Photoshop does non-destructive editing. As for Gimp, non-destructive editing is planned to be introduced in version 3.2, currently at version 2.10. If you use Gimp, use "save as".
  18. Rather than 8 more contacts, a selling point for me would be a keybed duplicating the Hammond's key geometry and physics, i.e. longer keys, felt stops and the right tension as the key is depressed.
  19. As long as the photos aren’t curved like potato chips, have at it!
  20. I bought a Behringer X32 from Thomann, shipped to the US at a nice discount over a US price. The downside was that the warranty was not covered by Behringer but by Thomann.
  21. I'm sure others will have better methods but I can tell you how I did it. In 2018 I scanned the family image collection (about 500) using a flatbed scanner (Epson V600). These included developed photographs, 35 mm mounted slide positives and negative strips, and old roll film negatives. The scanner came with film holders for the 35 mm and 120 roll film. I also had some 116 roll film negatives. For those, I bought a 3D printed negative holder that fit the scanner bed. The Epson was not the first scanner I tried. I viewed the scanning process as an archival activity only with no thought to organization of the content. However, it was important to be able to correlate a scanned object with its image. I named each image filename YYYY_JDT-XXX.ext. For photographs, I also wrote the file name on the back (no ext). The purpose in this was to be able to make notes for an image in an external document and to be able to reference the image by a unique but consistently named indentifier. (I have never actually done this). YYYY year JDT the current Julian date XXX Index starting at 000 at each new julian date ext (png in my case) Many of the photographs had text on the back, who, where, when, etc. It is possible to capture this information as metadata in the image file using a tool like Gimp. Or it can be captured in an external document referencing the image ID, or you could just scan the back of the photo. I took a look at the scanned images and the DPI varied from 600 to 2400. I'm sure I selected it but I have no idea why. Most of these photos were pretty poor in resolution. I generally scanned 30-40 photos per day over a six month period. The 500 photos use about 3 GB of storage space.
  22. Reverb Listing It seems a little pricey to me. I bought a one in mint condtion five years ago for $2800 shipped. Is this because they are discontinued? There seem to be other good options now.
  23. Not for a CS-800, but for 1U modules in a stationary installation, sure.
