This is my favorite synthesizer. EVER.
First released as the Yamaha DX7, being one of the most popular synthesizer of the 1980s! This is the desktop version of the popular synth. It has the exact same sound engine as it's big brother, Frequency Modulation, or FM, for short.
It has been used by the likes of:
the Crystal Method, Kraftwerk, Underworld, Orbital, BT, Talking Heads, Brian Eno, Tony Banks, Mike Lindup of Level 42, Jan Hammer, Roger Hodgson, Teddy Riley, Brian Eno, T Lavitz of the Dregs, Sir George Martin, Supertramp, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Daryl Hall, Steve Winwood, Scritti Politti, Babyface, Peter-John Vettese, Depeche Mode, D:Ream, Les Rhytmes Digital, Front 242, U2, A-Ha, Enya, The Cure, Astral Projection, Fluke, Kitaro, Vangelis, Elton John, James Horner, Toto, Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, Chick Corea, Level 42, Queen, Yes, Michael Boddicker, Julian Lennon, Jean-Michel Jarre, Sneaker Pimps, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Greg Phillanganes, Jerry Goldsmith, Jimmy Edgar, Beastie Boys, Stabbing Westward and Herbie Hancock.

And that's pretty impressive as it's just "a partial listing" as the Vintagesynth.com page says. (www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/dx7.shtml)
Today at lunch, it occurred to me that instead of dealing with building a chassis from metal, wood, or plastic, and attaching Radio Shack wheels to industrial gear motors, that maybe I could find the information on the pinout of the Lego Mindstorms motors on the internet.
I'm not very good at googling, but I did, indeed, find the pinout. A cut cable , some stripped wires, and a little soldering later, and I'm turning this wheel with code, in both directions.
If you're interested, here's the technical information for the Mindstorms motor:
Pin 1 (white wire) = Motor lead.
Pin 2 (black wire) = Motor lead.
Pin 3 (red wire) = Ground
Pin 4 (green wire) = +4.5 Volts (though, I pushed 5 through, without adverse results)
Pin 5 (yellow wire) = Encoder output
Pin 6 (blue wire) = Encoder output.
The motor will run with just the black and white wires connected. As you'd expect, reverse the polarity to reverse the motor (I'm using an SN754410NE H-bridge IC for ease)
Power and ground are there to power the encoder outputs. The encoder outputs indicate the speed of the motor via pulse-width modulation. Shorter pulses mean the motor is moving faster, longer pulses mean it's moving slower. If you spent any time in Mindstorms, you may remember that the motors have a free-wheeling mode, and a brake mode. With no voltage on either the black or white wires, the motor is free wheeling, and the encoders send the pulses on the blue and yellow wires. I've read, but haven't confirmed, that a low voltage on both motor leads activates "brake mode". Dunno.
Anyway, the encoder outputs are identical, except that one leads the other, slightly out of phase. The direction of the motor determines which output leads. Get a scope, work it out... forward and backward aren't concrete concepts with these motors, anyway.

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

A breadboard test of a DC motor controller. It works by PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation), using a TLC3704 comparator chip to generate a variable mark/space ratio square wave. This is then fed to a HUF75337 power MOSFET. There's a 5k pot in a box to control it.
The 1950s in general involved much more engagement and synthesis with historical form than is normally acknowledged in narratives that give the glory to postmodernism. The silhouette is not just generically historicist but quite specific to this place: compare it to the Sforza Castle we were so recently admiring. The modulation of the elevation (see closeup, image 4) is a bit more typical for the period; I see a Team X sensibility there more than anything.
The use of historical form was a shot across the bow of Modernism; the re-engagement with this particular history was, I think, something more specific to the Italian political scene. Ernesto Rogers was an anti-fascist who had lived in exile towards the end of the war years, and I would imagine at least one reason for the stylistic shift was a recognition that the International Style, in the hands of Terragni and the other Rationalists, had somehow become mingled with the totalizing ambitions of the Fascist state. Not that the fascists had ever 100% signed on with modernism, mind you - but the affiliation was there. Note that the history BBPR mine here is medieval, not Roman. For all its round-headed arches, the Sforza fortress calls to mind the era of independent Italian city-kingdoms, which isn't exactly the grand epoch of the Roman imperium enshrined by Mussolini.
The PIC16F75X family of 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) featuring intelligent analog and core-independent peripherals, making them ideal for general-purpose applications, as well as power supplies, battery charging, LED lighting, power management and power control/smart energy applications. The new PIC16F753 MCU builds on the success of the popular PIC12F752. The PIC16F753 offers all the key features of the PIC12F752, such as the integrated Complementary Output Generator (COG) peripheral that provides non-overlapping, complementary waveforms for inputs such as comparators and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) peripherals, while enabling dead-band control, auto shutdown, auto reset, phase control and blanking control. Additionally, the PIC16F753 offers an Op Amp with 3 MHz of Gain Bandwidth Product (GBWP), and a slope compensation circuit to help in Switch Mode Power Supply applications.

Just about everything in place. I need some tidier patch cables and there might be another one or two the sneak in. Following the signal from the right: BOSS TU3 tuner, then grey home-made BYOC compressor, BOSS EQ, Visual Sound Double Trouble, EHX Electric Mistress chorus/flanger, home-made BYOC Tremelo. Top shelf from right: Proctavia (octaver) that I discovered needs its own isolated power, so I'll pop a battery in it, Love Pedal Pickle Vibe (lush throbbing Univibe), TC Electronic Nova Repeater (ace) delay, BOSS RC20 looper and finally a BOSS Fender Reverb pedal (for when I run into my old valve head). There's still room (and 'need' for a volume pedal (perhaps a Morley mini-wah/volume in one) and a boost or distortion. And with neater cabling, I can get at least one more pedal in the bottom row.
And I might pull the looper out as it's not part of my regular gigging setup - I can always run it last in the chain when needed. That'll give me room to put all my modulation/delay pedals up top and keep downstairs for boosts, EQs and overdrives.
Atmospheric optics expert James Bridge had this to say:
"I
don't know how many times this effect has been noticed but it must be
quite often because you are the second person to ask about it in the
last year, to my knowledge. I first noticed several years ago and
started to think about it. The striking thing is the way it encircles
your eye. Eventually I wrote a paper for Physics Education and you can
find a copy on my web site www.xmas.demon.co.uk/misty.html. So
far as I know it had not been written up before.
In outline, it is an interference effect due to light scattered by the
water drops, related to the rings seen on dusty mirrors and first
described by Newton. However, those rings don't centre on your eye and
do require a directional light source. The mist droplets scatter light
by refraction and act as tiny point sources; the mirror reflects their
light back towards you. As it passes the same drop, some of the light is
scattered again by diffraction and this scattered light interferes with
the light passing to the side of the drop. Because the second scattering
only affects about 10% of the light, the intensity modulation is not so
marked and the rings not so obvious. The paper gives a much fuller
account with diagrams."
One of the advantages using the Microchip PIC microcontroller Pulse Width Modulation or PWM for short is; this PWM peripheral circuit is designed to control the DC motor using the full bridge mode PWM feature. The PWM peripheral works by supplying the correct signal to the H-Bridge DC motor circuit such as speed controlling and changing the DC motor direction.

The long reach rear brake; this took some fiddling; the reach was almost not long enough to reach the 650b rim. I have to use v-brake pads because the threaded posts on these are slightly thinner than ones on the road-brake shoes; plenty of braking power and modulation, though; definitely an upgrade in those areas from the tektrok R-556 sidepulls
During Trans Am's encore at Santo's Party House, this dumbass got up and started headbanging to "I Want It All"... he then proceeded to fall over taking out Sebastian's ride cymbal and the ride's mic. The mic stand appeared to be broken as someone in the front row of the audience held it up for the rest of the song.
It was a good but weird show... someone had dropped the Nord keyboard that Nathan uses and was replaced by a Moog from another band. The trouble with that was that Nathan switches between vocal modulation with the keyboard and playing the keyboard, so he had to juggle cables all night long... not a lot of fun for him or the rest of us. Although it did sound good... with some missing lyrics in certain places and their new material off of "Thing" (Thrill Jockey) sounds great.

Minus Mixers and the Combinator.. this is pretty much all the instruments and effects that come with Reason...
Thor is an amazing Synth.. everyone likes working with Rex files.. and blah blah blah.
I feel like Reasons needs a little more.. I really think they ought to work out some sort of effects plug in system.. or a rewire system that allows you to feed audio in and out of Reason.. because.. well the power of Reason is it's simplicity.. but a lot of times you'd like to have more power.. you'd like to work with convolution reverb, lets say, or a better distortion unit.. or other types of modulation effects..
Pituitary gland in the brain. Computer artwork of a person's head showing the left hemisphere of the brain inside. The highlighted area (centre) shows the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is a small endocrine gland about the size of a pea protruding off the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain. It secretes hormones regulating homoeostasis, including trophic hormones that stimulate other endocrine glands. It is functionally connected to and influenced by the hypothalamus.

Krishna And His Leela Director Got Suddenly Married: Ravikanth Perepu, the happening director in lockdown times with his film Krishna And His Leela has got hitched.
He was shot to fame with Adivi Sesh's Kshanam in 2016 and freshly he is in buzz for his talent in making Krishna and his Leela.
He married his girl girlfriend cum colleague. He took this news on to his Facebook wall and posted the details surrounding his decision.
He wrote "Ending the Krishna and his Leela posts with the most important person of my life . During the making of this film,Veena Ghantasala and I decided to take our relationship a step forward and we got married. I was two timing with her and the film.
The film got stalled and I wasn’t in the best of my energies. It isn’t easy to live with someone when they touch their rock bottom. I can only imagine what my girl has gone through. She was expecting a beautiful kick start to her new life and Boom,she got me! But She’s a fighter too.
There were a lot of hiccups through the way but she never gave up. 5 years of togetherness and I found a great friend in her. She’s become my go to person no matter how screwed up the situation is. It’s crazy to have that one person to share your moments with.
She taught me when to be a boy and when to be a man! And as an individual, oh boy what a talent! I worked with her for #Kshanam and she’s a terrific voice actress.

Once the life of the party and the center of attention, he played all the greats: the big bands, the stars and so many radio shows. He consoled the family during the war and celebrated triumphantly at the dance when it ended. But time went by and technology and music changed. A guy with the gyrating hips and new loud instruments and bands without horns!
The phonograph never was any real competition, but the coming of the transistor signaled the beginning of the end for old fuzzy. The Hi Fi set gradually replaced Old Fuzzy's fine "Golden-Throated Monaural" technology. Solid state circuitry came home and it could play that raucous Rock and Roll music much louder and clearer and in stereo too. The new set had frequency modulation and clearer sound than ever before - although FM couldn't bounce off the ionosphere and deliver live music from around the world!
Then the tube tester was removed from the corner drug store and the radio store stopped carrying vacuum tubes. Now they could only be gotten from old Russian military surplus - the enemy that Old Fuzzy used to play civil defense drill warnings for, and now he was using their tubes. For a while he made a interesting plant stand but eventually was relegated to the basement where he has sat ever since miserably pondering how it all came to this. once he was swinging on top of the world and now a moldy relic too interesting to throw away but too old to be in the living room anymore.
Fuzzy's small consolation is that the record 8-track and cassette players have all found their way to the county electronics recycling day. His fancy mahogany and maple veneer, Bakelite and mother of pearl details make him too handsome for that. So he sits and hopes that maybe some day someone will haul him out again. After all fads come and go, but back in the good old days there was true style and true style never goes out of fashion!

Georges Seurat（1859 - 1891）
Oil on canvas
79.5 x 95.5 cm
This painting is a striking demonstration of Seurat’s pointillist technique. The modulation of light and shadow on the wall is achieved with the use of small dots of pure colour juxtaposed in varying concentrations and intensity.
The young model depicted by Seurat was his mistress, Madeleine Knobloch, who bore him two sons. This painting thus takes on a very personal meaning.

Microchip's latest 2.4 GHz 256-QAM RF high-power amplifier—the SST12CP21—offers ultra low EVM and current consumption for 256-QAM and IEEE 802.11n systems. The SST12CP21 delivers high linear output power of up to 23 dBm at 1.75% dynamic EVM, with MCS9 HT40 MHz bandwidth modulation at 5V and 320 mA current consumption. Additionally, the SST12CP21 delivers 25 dBm linear power at 3% EVM with only 350 mA current consumption for 802.11g/n applications. This performance significantly extends the range of 802.11b/g/n WLAN and MIMO systems, while consuming extremely low current at the maximum 256-QAM data rate. The SST12CP21 is also spectrum mask compliant up to 28 dBm for 802.11b/g communication. Board space is reduced by the small 3x3x0.55 mm, 16-pin QFN package that matches a popular pin-out.

Messier 3 (also known as M3 or NGC 5272) is a globular cluster of stars in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Charles Messier on May 3, 1764,[7] and resolved into stars by William Herschel around 1784. Since then, it has become one of the best-studied globular clusters. Identification of the cluster's unusually large variable star population was begun in 1913 by American astronomer Solon Irving Bailey and new variable members continue to be identified up through 2004.
Many amateur astronomers consider it one of the finest northern globular clusters, following only Messier 13.[1] M3 has an apparent magnitude of 6.2,[4] making it a difficult naked eye target even with dark conditions. With a moderate-sized telescope, the cluster is fully defined. It can be a challenge to locate through the technique of star hopping, but can be found by looking almost exactly halfway along an imaginary line connecting the bright star Arcturus to Cor Caroli. Using a telescope with a 25 cm (9.8 in) aperture, the cluster has a bright core with a diameter of about 6 arcminutes and spans a total of 12 arcminutes.[1]
This cluster is one of the largest and brightest, and is made up of around 500,000 stars. It is estimated to be 8 billion years old. It is located at a distance of about 33,900 light-years away from Earth.[citation needed]
Messier 3 is located 31.6 kly (9.7 kpc) above the Galactic plane and roughly 38.8 kly (11.9 kpc) from the center of the Milky Way. It contains 274 known variable stars; by far the highest number found in any globular cluster. These include 133 RR Lyrae variables, of which about a third display the Blazhko effect of long-period modulation. The overall abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium, what astronomers term the metallicity, is in the range of –1.34 to –1.50 dex. This value gives the logarithm of the abundance relative to the Sun; the actual proportion is 3.2–4.6% of the solar abundance. Messier 3 is the prototype for the Oosterhoff type I cluster, which is considered "metal-rich". That is, for a globular cluster, Messier 3 has a relatively high abundance of heavier elements.

ANTONIO BONET. In 1942, Bonet participates in the constitution of the Organization of the Integral House in the Argentine Republic. The idea of the formation of its work ties it with the ideas suggested by Him Corbusier throughout the process of preparation of the Plan of Buenos Aires. "the routine servitude of conception submissive the outsider does not exist any worthy of consideration argument seriously nor even in that some Argentineans live" So that the initial note of a universal modulation does not take place in our country, whose hope appears in the immediate perspective of the world: on the area in catastrophe of the cities martyred by the war, the genius of the man already begins to project the new forms of the human coexistence. On the contrary, the essential circumstance of our historical youth and the one of our adventurous peace, locate to us in the moral obligation to create new forms of life anticipating us to whatever of project and of dream it even subsists in a world of towns in flames and ruins. This thought of Bonet, is taken from the N° Notebook 1 of OVRA, titled Study of the Contemporary Problems for the organization of the integral house in the Argentine Republic. Without a doubt, the text gathers part of the optimism of the Austral Group. But while this one was directed to the architects and its problems, in the OVRA manifesto the horizon is ampler, next to certain discovered nonfree of messianism of the American, coincident with other similar initiatives in other places of the continent.
Reflections of Antonio Bonet on the architecture: "the architectonic elements that will form the new city will be formed by a series, numerous, of structures little systematized. Those structures will be able to arrive to the maximum from their aesthetic, technical perfection and economic, since besides to be placed in free lands, its study must be based on the progressive improvement of such types, so as it has become in the great architectures of the past. Within those structures, that will be the expression of the effort of the social man, to obtain the order and the harmony of its time, never will be obtained to a freedom reached after the development of the life of the man like individual, and the one of its institutions. It is well certain that we are even far from that stage, But does not fit doubt that once demonstrated that the modern buildings can be developed in simple structures, more and more seemed to each other, it will make the importance powerful of this system. Those buildings will be used and the equipped for but diverse uses, without aging with it, although they will have to work at a time whose social programs, industrial, etc., are in permanent evolution. I am going to finish with the confession of my conviction of which to group the programs for the unification of the structures, is something enormously difficult, but some is no doubt that it is the way that will take us forms to the true architectonic of our time. in that the diverse social programs will be developed freely, cultural hygienic, etc., that must form the structure of the new society.

The MoofTronic is a miniature synthesiser.
It uses a stylus to play 8 different notes(one octave in the key of C). It also has a small antenna that when touched, controls the modulation span of the note being played. It creates a fast modulation type sound, it starts making the crazy noises when the antenna picks up interference created by the output of the speaker.
It measures about 3cm x 1cm and is based around a 24pin ic holder. The notes are generated by software programmed onto a Picaxe 08M microcontroller which also has a small speaker mounted on it. Its powered by a 9 volt battery.

World Union Task File 897WB-7: Lazarus L. Lowenstark’s Known Bioware Mods.
Author: Kenneth Foiles, Biotech Engineer
** Combat Mods: None.
** Dermal Armor / Bone Integration: None.
** Physical Modifications, Wired Reflexies, Synth-Muscle: None
** Processing/Communications/Data Modifications:
Wet-Tek* Mark 7 Central Processing Unit with genetic wet wash brain modification. Portions of his brain are modified technologically, but portions are replaced with genetically engineered technology to synch up with that technology. Also implanted are Bioware Datajack port, and wireless information processing and remote assistance technology. Functionality: This variant of the standard Datajack / CPU technology allows Lowenstark to receive/transmit/process information from a variety of sources, including standard laser communications, the internet, and digital satellite communications. These processes and access are effectively tied with his active thought, and as such, he can manipulate remote devices, communicate, or surf the internet internally.
** Sensory Technology:
Complete Eye Replacement using Biosoft’s “Total Fix” bioware. Eyeballs are semi-organic hardware, linked directly to the CPU. Thermal Imaging and Low Light vision options are standard, as well as telescopic capabilities. Eyesight is better than perfect, offering a high definition quality to standard vision. Flash resistant, damage resistant casing is optimal for battle situations. System uses Living HUD version 3.5 for heads up data displays.
Inner Ear modifications are virtually full convert. Cochlear Implants provide a datastream of information to the CPU, and are resistant to external trauma. Noise modulation is also controllable by the CPU.
Signal Search* provided by Wet-Tek infosystems, and include heat detection, signal detection, and a wide spectrum of wave and beam detection hardware.
** Additional Vital Modification:
NuNerve* complete nervous cluster replacement: Controls nervous sensations and their impact on the brain, as well as has the capacity to modulate sensation delivered there.
The Heart, Liver, Kidneys, Lungs, and large portions of the digestive, endocrine, and respiratory system have all been replaced by bioware and cyber technology, optimizing his bodily functions, extending his lifespan, and giving him strong resistance to poisons, toxins, and trauma damage.
A fallback single transmit Tx coil option was left on the high acuity headset to offer a simple wireless power transfer where the coil is optimally placed directly in front of the eye. A Direct-Digital-Synthesizer running at 50MHz allows full control of Magnitude, Frequency and Phase with the added advantage of providing hard wired high speed modulation control. The DDS allows precision resonance tracking at resolutions below 1Hz allowing mutual inductance and eye movement compensation between the external and implant inductive coils similar to a DPLL. the output frequency is set to track the resonance of the series-parallel tank circuits notionally set at 6.8MHz.

Much of its strength resides in its simple geometric structure and in the way in which the colors are combined. Spatial modulation is pared back to a minimum. Effects of light and shadow, which would have added depth to the image, have been translated into planes of color instead.
The painting was presumably painted in the autumn of 1905, when Matisse had returned to Paris after spending a summer in the fishing village of Collioure. Here, he and Andre Derain engaged in ever-wilder painterly experiments intended to release color from its descriptive function, allowing it to act as a force in its own right. With its unorthodox use of color, the painting is built on those experiments.
