Unprecedented 3-time Neighbors can’t hear it. Parents can’t hear it. Cops can’t hear it. Best in Show Winner But you won’t believe what the band can hear.

JamHub™ was created to let you play more, and the experience rocks. Just pick a color section and plug in your instruments, mics and headphones.

JamHub.com FUTURE CLASSIC The Poly Evolver Keyboard is a nearly-knob-per-function knockout that sounds unlike any other synth. Don’t like a high-end hardware synth that requires wading through endless menus to program? Not an issue with the Poly Evolver’s 78 knobs—60 of them now potentiometers—and 58 buttons. The Poly Evolver is capable of producing sounds ranging from classic, real analog to biting, edgy digital textures. It is also multitimbral, with the ability to play up to four parts simultaneously through separate stereo outputs. And it can process external audio. Find out why Keyboard hailed the Poly Evolver as “nothing less than a future classic and a major event in synth design.” For specs, demos, and more, visit davesmithinstruments.com.

  • Album Story | You Mix Me All Up! XDD Summer Love 2011 | TIGER M 2
    Album Available ((Free)) On: http://www.tigerm.net Album Story | You Mix Me All Up! XDD Summer Love 2011 | TIGER M 2 An Introduction (( You Mix Me All Up! XDD Summer Love 2011 )) This album honestly began because of a “mistake” that I made while looking for a song on the hard drive of Rushuna-Haruhi: The Success Machine. (My Hewlett-Packard m7170n Media Center Desktop PC ^_^) Between 2002 when I first began Darton College and 2005 when I departed Darton College and began creating the original music album “It’s Go Time Baby, Your Place Is The Dance Floor!” (prior to “DJ Edition”) I had begun accumulating and ordering music on the family computer. (prior to departing my birth home.) There was a folder that I had named “Dealing With Music” which is where I placed all new music that I put onto the family computer. (Rushuna-Haruhi: The Success Machine is not the home family computer. Keep reading. ^_^) Even music that existed initially only on physical CDs that I had purchased (this was before YouTube or Google if you can imagine it…) – when the music was ripped from CDs and placed onto the computer hard drive – the songs went into this folder inside of their own sub-folder which usually contained the name of the album. thanks to the invention of USB external Hard drives, any computer that I have ever had the pleasure of owning or utilizing has had the ability to have this folder. Rushuna-Haruhi: The Success Machine (my very first computer ever purchased in my name) – was the first of my computers to take on and “inherent” this file folder full of music.

  • Fftuner Basic Instructions. (For Chrome Or Firefox, Not
    FFTuner basic instructions. (for Chrome or Firefox, not IE) A) Overview B) Graphical User Interface elements defined C) Measuring inharmonicity of a string D) Demonstration of just and equal temperament scales E) Basic tuning sequence F) Tuning hardware and techniques G) Guitars H) Drums I) Disclaimer A) Overview Why FFTuner (piano)? There are many excellent piano-tuning applications available (both for free and for charge). This one is designed to also demonstrate a little music theory (and physics for the ‘engineer’ in all of us). It displays and helps interpret the full audio spectra produced when striking a piano key, including its harmonics. Since it does not lock in on the primary note struck (like many other tuners do), you can tune the interval between two keys by examining the spectral regions where their harmonics should overlap in frequency. You can also clearly see (and measure) the inharmonicity driving ‘stretch’ tuning (where the spacing of real-string harmonics is not constant, but increases with higher harmonics). The tuning sequence described here effectively incorporates your piano’s specific inharmonicity directly, key by key, (and makes it visually clear why choices have to be made). You can also use a (very) simple calculated stretch if desired. Other tuner apps have pre-defined stretch curves available (or record keys and then algorithmically calculate their own). Some are much more sophisticated indeed! B) Graphical User Interface elements defined A) Complete interface. Green: Fast Fourier Transform of microphone input (linear display in this case) Yellow: Left fundamental and harmonics (dotted lines) up to output frequency (dashed line).
