The captain took the ship after it and attacked the vessel, eventually inflicting severe enough damage to force them into retreat. During the subsequent weapons testing stage they attacked and destroyed a group of derelict Borg ships set up as targets.Īn Odyssey-class starship near Earth Spacedock.Īt that moment a Klingon dreadnought arrived in Mars orbit. The first stage of the test involved scanning a group of satellites. ![]() The prototype USS Odyssey (NX-97000) was launched in 2409 and taken on a trial cruise by one of Starfleet's leading captains. At the time, the Verity carried the NCC registry number NCC-97000. Meanwhile, Admiral Picard commanded the Verity on a mission to evacuate worlds of the Romulan Star Empire from an impending supernova. Picard's first officer Worf was then appointed captain of the Sovereign-class cruiser. Starfleet Command gave the ship to four-star Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, after reassigning him away from the USS Enterprise-E. The USS Verity was active by the year 2381. ( Star Trek Adventures module: Utopia Planitia Sourcebook) The keel for the prototype USS Odyssey was laid in the 2380s. There is an observation deck by the forward viewport and a second, partial crew deck down a flight of stairs. The captain's ready room is on the starboard side of the bridge, with a turbolift on the port wall and a dedicated transporter pad set into the aft wall. The bridge of the vessel is cavernous and features a viewscreen separate from the forward viewport, with crew stations in an oval around the chairs for the commanding and first officers. The advanced quantum slipstream drive propelled the Odyssey-class to its fastest speed, transwarp 34.71+. The pinnacle of the Odyssey-class's technological achievement was the advanced quantum slipstream drive carried aboard all Odyssey-class vessels. It also carries six workbees in the main shuttlebay for field repairs.īridge of an Odyssey-class starship, facing aft In addition, an Aquarius-class escort ship is docked to the rear of the ship's stardrive (roughly where the secondary shuttle bay would be located on a Sovereign-class), which can be deployed at will. The chevron section can be reattached to the stardrive section at any time. The chevron-shaped saucer section could be separated from the stardrive section, allowing greater maneuverability to the stardrive section. The Odyssey-class featured the ability for saucer separation much like the Galaxy-class.

If you’re someone who doesn’t really play the piano, a small controller would be a smart purchase seeing how the keys are smaller. These are very affordable and they serve a variety of purposes. ![]() Mini MIDI keyboards are not just for touring musicians, they can also be used in the studio and even for live shows. Why Would Someone Be Interested In Mini MIDI Keyboards? If you’re a producer who’s on the go, check out our guide on the best Bluetooth MIDI controller. ![]() If you like what your keyboard does for you, but feel a little limited and want to dive deeper, you can upgrade to a 49 key MIDI controller. This also makes it so you’re not spending a fortune right off the bat. It allows you the freedom to play notes, play beats and control MIDI. Is A Mini MIDI Controller A Good Investment For A New Producer? Overall, I think this is a bit dated and wouldn’t recommend it anymore. Its keys are velocity-sensitive and it might feel a little bit on the cheaper side compared to the MPK series. It is extremely portable coming in at 1.4 pounds. This doesn’t come with as many bells and whistles as some of the other products mentioned, but for basic functions, it will get the job done. The Akai LPK 25 is the classic keyboard as it was one of the first compact controllers. Read my full review of this keyboard here. Overall ThoughtsĪlthough it’s a couple of years old, it is still hands down one of the best options available. If you are a fan of keyboards that come in different colors, this one is perfect because it comes in red, white or black. It comes with VIP 3.0 and this software makes it easy to control your DAW. I like that it is really easy to use which is why we think this is best for beginners.Ĭoming in at 1.63 pounds, the MPK mini 2 is perfect to fit in your backpack if you are looking to take it with you anywhere. The Akai MPK mini 2 comes with eight velocity-sensitive drum pads and eight assignable Q-link knobs. This is a great product for people who are on the go and have to set up makeshift studios.

I know this sounds like a lot of development work, but it actually is worth the time to try to "Roll-Your-Own" since YOU have complete control and can alter as you see fit. and their own MIDI files or sampled sounds. I know many folks who have created their own materials with easy-to-use authoring systems like HyperStudio, HyperCard, ToolBook, etc. I wonder if others out there have recommendations? You might check out Musicware's MusicLab (for the PC and soon to be on the Mac) software as well as their Harmonic and Inner Hearing software. Practica Musica is especially good at this, but does not do harmonies. If you have a piano lab with MIDI keyboards, you can put MacPlus, SE, and Classics in there with some of these CAI programs and a basic sequencer. Much of this software will run on the older Macs as well as the newer PowerMacs. He was showing these to us at the College Music Society's computer institute at IU this past summer. The distinguish music theory pedagogist, Allen Winold, at Indiana University is also working on a set of HyperCard stacks for the Mac that has this facility for harmony, melody, and rhythm. The latest version of MacGamut certainly provides that feature as does Practica Musica. ![]() Part of that flexibility is the option for the instructor to add their own content and patterns. Most of the newer ear-training software fits into what Blat and I like to call "flexible practice" CAI (see Viewport III in our textbook). I see you're a licorice-stick player as well! Are you from Oklahoma too?!īlat's is really up on the commercial CAI software here so he'll be able to give you more specifics. ![]() We have Mac's in the lab too, (SE's but also have much higher MAC computers available to us). I am wondering if you know of an ear-training program that would let the instructor enter all examples (or at least have the ability to enter examples and catalogue them) of melodic, rhythmic and harmonic dictation? We currently have GUIDO and are moving to add MLS in our CAI lab and would like to have this capability also. ![]() In the course of his mission, Anakin discovers his love for Padme as well as his own darker side.

The lower humidity aids the spread of virus aerosols and could make the virus more stable. During winter, indoor humidity levels are 10–40%, compared to 40–60% in fall and spring. The review concludes that a relative humidity of 40–60% might be ideal for respiratory health.Īmericans spend 87% of their time indoors, so how does the outside weather affect them so much? When cold, dry air meets warm air from indoors, it reduces the air’s humidity inside by up to 20%. These beat less often, meaning they may fail to clear viruses from the nose. In these conditions, the mucous lining in our noses dries up, which in turn impairs the function of cilia, the tiny hairs that line the nasal passage. A recent review of the seasonality of respiratory infections describes how cold, dry winter weather makes us more susceptible to viruses in general. The epidemic died out during a warm, dry July in 2003, but tight public health control measures were also in place. In Hong Kong, new cases were 18 times higher in lower temperatures - under 24.6☌, 76☏ - than more elevated temperatures. While this virus did not circulate long enough to establish any potential seasonal pattern, daily weather was associated with the number of cases. Studies of the first SARS-CoV in 2003 suggest weather might be important for coronavirus spread. – Prof Ian Jones, Professor of Virology, University of Reading, United Kingdom The flip side, alas, is that the opposite will be true in the autumn and beyond.” “But the fact is that respiratory viruses are generally seasonal, probably as viruses that transmit on water droplets do so less well if the droplet dries up faster, and temperature, humidity, and UV may be part of the lull in transmission we are now seeing. Infections from influenza and respiratory syncytial virus are more common during winter in temperate areas of the world. ![]() There are good reasons to expect a respiratory virus to show seasonal variation.

Apparently a manual option used to be available but is no longer for some odd reason? If you’re meticulous about your scrobbles, I wouldn’t waste your time on this app. The developer chose to rely on background refreshing, which doesn’t always work. This app’s success relies on accurate scrobbling, and it shouldn’t be too difficult to ensure that works, right? Very strange choices. Along with having to constantly reset the app, I don’t understand why it always seems to be two steps forward, one step back. All of those featured tracks are messing with the way my library is tracked. But for some reason there’s now another crucial missing feature that seems to be removed for no obvious reason? There used to be a way to scrobble using the album artist, and now there isn’t a way. Then you can copy and paste the list of found items here on GitHub.EDIT: This last update seems to fix many of the app’s issues, where I’m not losing scrobbles often if ever. If you know how to work with the source code you could review and add debugging notifications to a few other files ( Networker SLSNetManage ) just to be safe, but the two I listed above should provide enough information. Then you open up logcat.txt in a text editor and search for the TAG you are debugging. Using your native command-line run adb logcat > logcat.txt I assume if you're using Linux or BSD or something else you know what to do (it's very similar to Mac), if not just ask me. How to install and use adb Windows xda-dev forums You could connect your android device for debugging when you connect to wifi that would great! I am also going to patch the following line to HTTPS which may help your scrobbles reach their destination. I will make the cache exorbitantly large and test what happens. So far in my testing I haven't had any dropped scrobbles. Hi it's great you are having less dropped scrobbles. I'll report back at the end of the weekend, if not sooner.Įdit: Just out of curiosity, is there anything I can do that would help development with this problem? Logs or error messages? Is there anything I could do before or after attempting to scrobble that would help? I'll put it on random for a day or two and get up to 300 and try to scrobble. I'd rather let the scrobble cache grow large and scrobble everything in one large chunk once or twice a month, rather than every week. ![]() ![]() The only internet connection it has is when I turn the wifi on. The phone I use isn't used as a phone its sole purpose in life is music playback. I am planning on letting the cache fill up again, as a sort of test to see if it has been fixed. I should have written down my results, but I am pretty sure the missing tracks problem was mostly above 175. I think I may have gone above 200, but I can't remember. Probably three months ago I did a sort of test or experiment. To be honest I can't remember if the app updated, but I think it did, so I am not sure if the problem has been fixed. I have not been having any dropped scrobbles. If I were to guess it would be on average around 150. Not sure about the logic of the program, but sounds like scrobbling using Wi-Fi is the only way for me atm to do it Thanks for looking into the problem.įor the last month or two I have been scrobbling at or below about 200 tracks. Maybe App is trying to send the scrobbles while net is started up, but it doesn't detect while net goes off and simply moves on (so techincaly it's trying to scrobble, but since connection goes down it doesn't stop it and mark track as scrobbled). Using standard settings on Scrobbler.Īlso I'm using JuiceDefender to reduce the ammount of battery usage, so whenever I turn on the screen, net is started up, when screen goes dark - it goes off. The earliest one from today is ~18.30 but I started to listen around ~17.50 (and for sure I didn't start with the track which is scrobbled at first place). However, what I noticed today - all the scrobbles from today's morning simply doesn't exist on my LastFm profile. Music itself is pretty much something "daily" for me, so I assume at least ~100 scrobbles should be done daily. Last.fm Scrobbler/Legacy Last. So I'm using HTC One M7 with PowerAMP as my music player. Last.fm Desktop Scrobbler: The Last.fm Desktop Scrobbler for Windows is a simple app that runs in the background and automatically updates your profile with what you’ve been playing on your computer via native media players such as Windows Media Player or iTunes. But also for some reason songs are not scrobbled at all. |
