#windsynth short demo reel

Awesome, I'll be ready to give it a go.

My rig is IPad & NuRAD, with WARBL2 and EWI4000S as spare/variety options. Zero interest in the additional cost/complexity of a laptop/desktop rig.

Yes please! Are you offering TestFlight invites for beta testers on iPad?

Look for IFW and TWV2000 from Masanao Takeushi. Both are in limited beta and have been in slow development for several years, but they sound great.

Shout-out to @proton.me for the stellar job they did today on handling a significant service outage caused by a combination of technical issues. EVERY service provider should be as timely, thorough, and transparent with customer communications as they are!

Yes @andrewludtke.bsky.social bring on the #NuEVI and show us what you got! I'm a #NuRAD player; not many of us #windsynth people here on bsky yet, it seems.

Little experiment…

The more full-featured windsynths tend to have wider note range (more octaves), more sensors to send expressive control like bite pressure, and dedicated thumb controls for things like pitchbend, glide, and program change messages.

Glad you like the video. To be clear, most of what's being demonstrated in that video is NOT built-in functionality. The re.corder only outputs MIDI notes, breath pressure, and accelerometer info. From there I did a lot of additional work to get those results.

artinoise re.corder - SUPERCHARGED with the power of MOZAIC YouTube video by Jon Diercks

The best portable (super-compact) windsynth / breath controller I’ve found is the re.corder by Artinoise. Definitely not as sophisticated or powerful as my NuRAD or EWI4000S, but for its size it can do some impressive things.

Found one way to address this: a custom feed made in SkyFeed.app

(I also included searching for the actual phrase "ranked choice voting")

I made a feed using SkyFeed.app, and with regex matching it *does* let me search for posts containing #RCV but not just RCV:

LOL that’s awesome. So far my ham rig consists entirely of a cheap baofeng HT and a hand-me-down mobile antenna, the magnet-mount kind designed to go on the roof of a car, but instead I stuck it to the rain gutter above my garage. :-) I’m able to hit a nearby repeater with that.

I think part of the value proposition is the convenience of using # as a shorthand to both visually set the tag apart from other text and to trigger the click-to-search behavior.

wow, you also apparently can't search by #hashtag yet either ... that is, searching for "hashtag" might find posts containing either "hashtag" or "#hashtag", but searching for "#hashtag" finds nothing.

Today I Learned: "Novato" (the town where I live) also means "newbie" en español ... this makes searching in a multi-lingual place like Bluesky challenging ... especially when a LOT of people are talking about what novatos they are. :-)

#bluesky needs a "lang:en" or similar filter for searches.

LOL no I don't djembe but I love to jam with those who do :-)

Hi, I'm new.

about Jon: Plays strange music on strange instruments. Works in IT, tinkers with tech in general. Dabbles in ham radio. Supports Ranked Choice Voting as a good first step toward better elections.
