That’s a fantastic idea! Unfortunately I only have one Pi 3B +, if I only run the VCV Rack on it, do you think that it will be enough for it? I built a “monitor” out of an old laptop display, so that would be there too. That would be an inexpensive option for me. Can you describe in more detail how VCV runs on the Pi please?
Well 48 hrs on, all I seem to have had was a light head ache and a slightly sensitive arm. The head ache could have been virtual pub night . I have had night sweats the last two nights though…
Got out yesterday to browse my Second “Car Boot” sale in 12 months ( the last one was in november and quite unnerving… It was nice to wander round Hexham ( there’s a couple here that will know it well enough) Market in the sun.
Picked up two rolls of “Pirelli” webbing, I did not even know what the stuff was until 4 weeks ago when looking at fixing the Seats in my Reliant Scimitar. Anyway I only spotted it on a stall by chance… £3 the guy wanted. I calmly handed him the money. Must be 20+ meters of the stuff and it’s £10 a meter retail…
Nice drive home in the sun along the twisty stuff ( known as the Military road to the locals) running alongside Hadrians Wall.
I can’t remember exactly how I did it, but I’ll dig out my 3+ to see how it performs. Obviously you won’t be able to have more than 40 or so modules even on a Pi 4, but it’s good enough to get a decent patch going. If I can find how I installed it, I’ll make a new topic, if not I can PM you the disc image( it’s full of other random crap) with VCV installed.
Totally agree =)
Ill get my butt into gear and see what sort of tune I can make out of what little modular gear I have.
Now that ive got the 505 I dont need to worry so much about drum modules now.
Just have to learn the midi side of things.
Had a decent morning saving a ‘fat wasp’ which got stuck in the cig tray and seemed to be struggling.
Fished it out and fed it some sugar water (2:1 ratio) to give it some energy back.
Gf informs me its a honey bee =)
Oh stupid beeeeeEeeEee, stuck in the ciggie tray.
Oh stupid beeeeEEeeEe, stuck in the ciggie tray.
Im in the dark, you pick me up.
On sugar water I shall sip.
Oh stupid bee, oh stupid bee
I stretch my wings and lick my ‘lip’
Twitch my leg and do a flip
Oh stupid bee, oh stupid bee
Well that was more than I needed to write about a bee =D
Have a good day all!
I’m not doing so well at the moment. Since my beloved dog died, everything has been kind of empty and I can’t find a beginning. In the last 4 weeks I was exactly four times in front of my front door because I had to see a doctor. Otherwise I lie in bed and surf the net or watch films … Even tinkering is stressful at the moment, although I used to enjoy it very much. The search for parts annoys me, sometimes you have to order a single module from 5 shops, that pisses me off and then becomes too much … and bang, I’m back in bed … Today the THT Braids from @sebastian arrived, it might help me out of my hole!
My heart is with you mate! I am in a similar point (despite my cheery demeanour in here) both me and my gf had a cry, a hug and a glass of whisky to help calm us tonight over the feelings of loosing Pixel even though we felt ‘fine’ this past couple days.
(Just dont over do the whisky, one glass with a cube of ice has lasted all night for me.)
Its hard to get used to that feeling of wishing that you could reverse time and make things better somehow.
I miss Pixel dearly, all we have now is memories. Memories which should be celebrated.
Its ok to cry and mourn. Remember that.
Its part of the process of healing.
Im even tearing up now as I write this.
With time, things get better, or easier. Im still figuring out which one it is.
Do something to celebrate the memories. We have a solar light over his grave to remind us how he would be active of the night.
I seem to be focused on building cases and modules to get me through the day.
Small steps, one day at a time.
Get out for a wander tomorrow in the fresh air and breathe.
Much love to you! X

Reminds me of a joke (best done in person but hey its 2021 the year of the government recommended introvert)
Remember your answers… say them aloud.
Whats that cold cube you make in the freezer?
(Say your answer)
Whats the metal thing called on the end of the line used to catch fish?
(Say your answers together)
Repeat the answers together as many times as you need to
Thank you very much for the nice words! I have his urn and a large picture very close to me. And a plaster of paris paw print that I can always touch. My life in general has never been easy, homelessness, drug addiction, multiple illnesses and now the reason to get up is gone … is difficult right now …
