A New Approach To Performances - Feb 2, 2025

(AKA, "What do you MEAN I can't use one MIDI controller for two programs at once???")

Many of you may know that I perform live! At conventions, at clubs and bars, and wherever else the world needs a dose of eurobeat, I've been performing my work on stage for many, many years now! Fewer of you may know that I've tried different approaches to my shows over the years— for a little while, I'd just play the songs end to end; then I learned how to DJ, and now most of my sets revolve around DJing.

Lately, I've been revisiting that, and trying to figure out new and more compelling ways to perform. For the last year on and off, I've been attending choreography classes. These have not resulted in me properly learning routines, but they HAVE boosted my confidence tremendously. As well, in the last few months I've dreamed up possible performance methods and workflows that are less DJ-centric so I can focus on singing, crowd interactions, the occasional novelty (maybe some keytar sections or playing a drum pad?), and some fun video effects.

Today I began putting that into action by trying out my various MIDI controllers, trying new configurations in Ableton Live and Bitwig Studio, and... failing. A lot.

It turns out, some of my ambitions of mapping multiple functions in two applications to one MIDI knob were a bit more ambitious than I thought they would be. Getting programs on the same computer to talk to each other is surprisingly more difficult than I thought it'd be. Getting Resolume Avenue and Bitwig to communicate worked, Avenue and Ableton surprisingly less so. And even then, getting one or the other to handle MIDI clock information in basic integer values has proven frustrating.

Instead of still trying to mix between two "decks" like DJs do, I may do it one of a few ways: * Pre-mix the set in Bitwig or Ableton, find "pause points" for water/audience interaction. I'd basically be performing to an automated experience, which would be easier to predict and work around, but with little to no flexibility. * Load in songs as clips instead of full-length audio, which would buy me back my cue points from the DJ years; but I'd still have to mix between songs, which increases potential failure points. * Find more innovative ways to use Traktor (my current DJ software of choice) and video/lighting programming, or pre-mix a few songs together and THEN load those into Traktor. Current performance method wouldn't change dramatically, but the overall visual appeal would improve. * Make shorter versions of my songs I play through from start to end, like a traditional concert. (Doesn't seem right, given the nature of eurobeat; but it's not far from what a few eurobeat stars do already!) * Keep pushing towards building a whole one-laptop visual audio extravaganza, restraints be darned.

...I want to see what I can do with some MIDI automation and video for now, with maybe one play-in "novelty" and automated vocal effects with some optional ones I can dial in any time. It'll be a bit weird to surrender some of my control over which songs play when, but I want to start building a more compelling, less DJ-specific live set where I'm a bit more of a performer. I think I'm onto something with this, though time and figuring out the tech will tell.

I'll be chipping away at it in the month(s) ahead. Who knows? If I get it ready in time, it may not be long before it gets a test drive at a real show! 😉

Apollo Micro Systems Secures Major Defense Contracts, Strengthening Its Role in Underwater Warfare

Apollo Micro Systems Limited, a leader in advanced defense technology, has recently announced significant developments that mark a pivotal moment in the company’s growth and its contributions to India's defense sector. The company has successfully secured a substantial order worth Rs. 10.90 crores from Bharat Dynamics Limited, a milestone that underscores Apollo's expertise in developing cutting-edge technologies for the Indian Armed Forces.

This new order is particularly noteworthy as it involves the production of a state-of-the-art Software Defined Universal Homing System for Heavy Weight Torpedoes. Developed in collaboration with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), this system represents a first-of-its-kind technology, positioning Apollo Micro Systems as the only qualified vendor for this critical component. The Heavy Weight Torpedoes, integrated into Strategic Submarine Programs, are a testament to Apollo's significant role in India's defense infrastructure.

Furthermore, Apollo has extended its innovative approach to Light Weight Torpedoes, again in collaboration with Bharat Dynamics Limited. This next-generation Homing System is designed to counter complex underwater threats, positioning it among the best in its category globally. With the Heavy Weight Torpedoes included in the Ministry of Defence's Embargo List, which promotes indigenous systems, Apollo's involvement in this project aligns perfectly with India's push towards self-reliance in defense, embodied by the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.

Apollo Micro Systems' expertise in underwater warfare extends beyond torpedoes. The company has successfully developed and produced other critical underwater warfare products, including Signal Processing for Expendable Decoys, which have already been inducted into the Indian Navy. Additionally, Apollo has made significant strides in developing Underwater Mines, with technical trials completed and user trials on the horizon.

This order from Bharat Dynamics Limited is expected to significantly enhance Apollo's position in the underwater warfare sector, leveraging 30 years of expertise in Homing Systems. The company is well-prepared to meet the demand for large-scale production, with its new Unit-III facility in Hyderabad set to be commissioned by February 2025.

In addition to this major contract, Apollo Micro Systems has also been declared the lowest bidder (L1) for a project from the Controllerate of Naval Armament (OF), valued at Rs. 5.73 crores. This project involves the development of a Rocket Guided Bomb for Anti-Submarine Warfare, designed to be fired from ships in salvos. This development marks Apollo’s entry into the complete development and manufacturing of Rocket Guided Bombs, paving the way for similar weapon systems across air, land, and sea applications.

Apollo Micro Systems’ extensive experience in delivering underwater warfare products, such as Expendable Decoys and Underwater Mines, is now being expanded to include the full development of advanced weapon systems. This aligns with India’s strategic vision of self-reliance in defense manufacturing. Apollo’s continued innovation and commitment to excellence ensure that it remains at the forefront of India's defense technology sector, contributing vital capabilities to the Indian Armed Forces.

PLC-teknikerens rolle i automatisering: En nøglefigur i moderne industri

Introduktion:

I den moderne industri spiller automatisering en afgørende rolle i at forbedre produktivitet, effektivitet og pålidelighed. En vigtig figur i denne proces er PLC-teknikeren, der er ansvarlig for design, installation og vedligeholdelse af programmerbare logiske controllere (PLC'er). I denne artikel vil vi udforske, hvad en PLC-tekniker laver og den værdi, de tilføjer til automatiseringssystemer.

Hvad er en PLC?

En "programmable logic controller" (PLC) er en digital computer, der bruges til at automatisere industrielle processer. PLC'er er i stand til at overvåge input, udføre logikbaserede beslutninger og styre output til at styre og automatisere forskellige maskiner og processer. PLC'er anvendes i mange industrier som f.eks. fremstilling, energi, vandbehandling og transport.

PLC-teknikerens ansvarsområder:

Design og programmering: PLC-teknikeren er ansvarlig for at designe og udvikle det overordnede kontrolsystem. De skal forstå de specifikke krav og processer i industrien og omsætte dem til et PLC-program. Dette indebærer at oprette logiske beslutninger, oprette kontrolstrukturer og implementere fejlfindingssystemer.

Installation og konfiguration: PLC-teknikeren arbejder tæt sammen med elektrikere og ingeniører for at installere og konfigurere PLC'en. Dette indebærer at montere hardwarekomponenter, tilslutte sensorer og aktuatorer og sikre korrekt kommunikation mellem PLC'en og de styrede enheder.

Test og fejlfinding: PLC-teknikeren udfører omfattende tests for at sikre, at PLC'en fungerer korrekt. De skal identificere og løse eventuelle fejl og problemer i systemet. Dette indebærer at analysere logfiler, foretage ændringer i programmet og justere indstillingerne for at optimere ydeevnen.

Vedligeholdelse og optimering: Efter installationen er PLC-teknikeren ansvarlig for at opretholde og optimere PLC-systemet. Dette indebærer rutinemæssig vedligeholdelse, opdatering af software, udskiftning af komponenter og implementering af forbedringer for at øge effektiviteten og pålideligheden af automatiseringssystemet.

Samarbejde og dokumentation: PLC-teknikeren arbejder tæt sammen med ingeniører, operatører og teknisk personale for at forstå behovene og opretholde et effektivt automatiseringssystem. De skal også opretholde dokumentationen for PLC-programmet, inklusive ændringer, fejlfinding og opdateringer, for at lette fremtidig vedligeholdelse og forbedringer.

Konklusion:

PLC-teknikeren spiller en vigtig rolle i at realisere automatisering

on that note, where does one buy switch controlleres not from Nintendo. I want the ones that looks more like the ps ones, the ones that come with the console are uncomfortable for me to hold, but don't wanna pay the 300nis nintendo charges for theirs

I just saw the new switch design and oh my god. it is so ugly
