  • That sounds exciting! I've been debating setting everything up to be able to run through Ableton as well (currently I run everything dawless) but it feels like a big task. Could you give a rundown of your plan? Would love to hear how you're routing everything

  • Behringer Neutron Fluttering Ocillators
  • I'll preface this by saying I'm not a technician in any way, just a musician with some thoughts. From all that you've described, it might indeed be a faulty unit, but let's not jump to any conclusions and try a few things to guarantee it's not something easily addressable. It might be helpful if you can post a video showing how its setup and what the sound is like.

    That definitely does not sound like regular behaviour but it's hard to know if that's an issue with the instrument itself, or an issue with how you've setup your init patch. Just to be super clear, have you done a factory reset and built the init patch that the manual suggests?

    From what I've read and heard, Neutrons are known to be finicky when it comes to tuning. I had a Neutron about a year ago and ended up selling it due to tuning instability. But what you're describing sounds much more annoying...almost like a problem with the power source (or the oscillators themselves). Are you using the given power supply or USB? An easy first place to start would be by isolating the power (trying on a different plug that has no other electronics plugged in) and seeing if that behaviour continues.

    If a factory reset and power aren't the issues, your best bet is to contact the person you got it from, see if they ever had any similar issues. Otherwise you can always contact Behringer for support.

    Olivia Chow Elected As Mayor Of Toronto
  • Delighted and relieved by this announcement. Big congrats to Chow, it's hopefully the first shift of many to steer things toward a more equitable city. Let's hope that things can improve here in Toronto, Chow will be a mayor who cares infinitely more than Tory ever could have.

  • Fast food go-ers of Lemmy, what are your "usual" orders?
  • A&W Teen Burger with root beer and onion rings. There's something nostalgic about it for me, used to go out for them with my dad when I was a kid.

    Also will always have a soft spot for a Big Mac combo at McDonald's. It isn't good but damn if isn't satisfying.

  • What is the last movie you watched and how was it?
  • Finally got around to watching Stalker last night! Partner and I both really loved it. Absolutely deserves the legacy it has, it explores so many philosophical and existential questions but still stays incredibly clear. Would recommend wholeheartedly if you're in the mood for a slow paced philosophical/psychological sci-fi.

  • Intricately crafted electronic albums?
  • I mean Aphex Twin probably goes without saying, given the influence on some of the listed artists alone. Can't go wrong with any album but "...I Care Because You Do" or either of the "Selected Ambient Works" would be good starting points. Could also throw Autechre or Squarepusher in for the same reason too!

    If you want something a bit more melodic, I love Stimming's album "Ludwig." Lisa Bella Donna's stuff is also a treat.

    And I'll sneak in another style yet with Helene Vogelsinger! "Contemplation" is a great album.
