What're you into, what're you looking forward to, what're you happy about?
Please
I am feeling terribly self-harmy in advance of my birthday next week
I got to the point of making a pros and cons chart
give me something to be vicariously happy about or something to look forward to, please
I have a dog with me who makes impressively loud snorts for his size (and without much trouble breathing, he's just really loud).
Talking to a friend, I remembered there's a setting on my keyboard that blatantly doesn't work but, because of that, it's probably the most interesting way to play it if you're fine with sacrificing dynamics. I'm going to start using it again, I don't know why I stopped.
I love the thought of your little pupper piglet very much 🥰
It took me longer than I want to admit to figure out that you meant a musical keyboard and not a special gaming keyboard 🤦😂 What kind of music do you make with it? What's wrong with the setting and how does that make make it more interesting?
thank you ❤️
I probably should have specified what kind.
Mostly I do classical because I am just learning. By coincidence of their form, the jazz pieces I know how to play don't sound as interesting with it.
The specific problem is that it's somehow not calibrated to handle polyphony correctly, so when you have just one note, it comes out fine, but when you have multiple they sort of crowd each other and it creates distortion, with more notes being more distorted. Because of that, when a song has, to use the example that has the best effect so far, a monophonic melody but then the accompanying notes vary in number, the melody gets more and less distorted and it adds a new dimension to the song. With the songs I play, which tend to be mildly positive, it tends to sound very somber in an almost mocking way, partly because the soundfont is that of an organ to start with.
Woah!!! That sounds really cool! I bet that's a lot of fun to mess around with. Do you want to play with other people or are you happier jamming alone?
Well, I think it would be a lot more fun playing with other people, but I'm garbage at music so the only time I got to play with other people was for a class in college, which I quite enjoyed.
I'm confident that your enthusiasm for playing music and love of it will get you to that skill level before you know it. ❤️ I hope to someday see you post how fucking awesome your first jam sesh with some musician friends went and how you're thinking about starting a band.
I'm cheering for you!
I'm pretty sure you're gonna be so much better than you expect. 😊
I appreciate it
