Who only knows that they used to throw women into water to test if they were a witch or not, because of Nirvana's song Serve the Servants?

How is this different than JHS with its NOTAKLÖN

I wish they would just wake up and realize they are identified with Confederate propaganda that sought to frame the conflict as southern identity and states rights against a northern culture that can’t be trusted, when really it was about retaining slavery.

Overall, all 3 plugins provide the core controls you'd expect, with the exception of the ones noted above.

The AURA plugin doesn't support configuring Remote Templates, though this is a current feature request. I'm not sure how many people use this feature though.

Here is what the AURA Plugin doesn't do currently:

- No Input Atomizer setting (Off, On, 2, 3... 16)
- Filter Envelope --> X-Sync doesn't appear available after Osc 2 is selected as Hypersaw like it does in Virus Control plugin

The AURA plugin developer has taken note of these.

The AURA Plugin supports control of System Settings (LED mode, LED Brightness, BPM Brightness, Memory Protect toggle), Global MIDI Settings, Soft Knob Settings, Keyboard Settings, Mod-wheel/Pedal assignments, Global Input/Output settings.... all not featured in the original Virus Control plugin.

The AURA Plugin features a Quick Edit Panel that includes an Assignable X/Y Pad not featured in the original Virus Control plugin.

It also includes a "Vocoder Modulator Input" setting not included in Virus Control plugin.

The AURA Plugin provides many more controls in Multi-part Mixer (part keyboard range, part priority, part MIDI channel, solo buttons) that the Virus Control software doesn't support.

OsTIrus does everything else you'd expect an Access Virus software synth engine to do, with features related to the hardware not considered applicable.

OsTIrus allows you to set the MIDI channel for a part (Right click on part number), but not the keyboard range or note priority mode (low, high). Those might be useful for software setups used live with multi-part keyboard split configurations.

I compared the functionality/controls for all 3 software plugins for the Access Virus synthesizer (Virus Control, AURA plugin, and OsTIrus).

Here's what I found...

Randomly listening to my music collection and I stumble upon @bennjordan.bsky.social 's "An Imperfect Song at a Gig that Never Existed". LOL

Like even just the simple matter of doing a dump of all the settings over MIDI to SysEx Librarian is so awesome. It reminds me of when I would make backups of a computer so that I could do whatever I wanted without worrying about destroying something important.

I love how MIDI SysEx makes music hardware continually compatible with computer systems, as long as someone is willing to create software that knows how to interpret and leverage the commands.

Back in my day, this was Tick-Tok

I like the grey one.

Now I want a bagel with lox, thanks

Both are too old

So you got the Banksy room?

If you go with a Mac, consider not getting a Mac Studio because I heard that the M2 Max or M2 Ultra processor is the same processor as an M2 Pro, but with additional features that a DAW won't use (video editing).

everyone loses their virginity twice: when you first have sex and when you first listen to closer by nine inch nails

Image of a Fischer's Lovebird with black bar covering its eyes, sitting on a concrete seating area in a jail cell. Caption: Thinking about how the Dutch police arrested a bird for taking part in a robbery, put it in a jail cell with bread and water & when the media reported on it they put a little black bar over the face to protect its identity.

Maybe I got lucky. I did follow the instructions on the sushi rice. Maybe that makes it more tacky

I’m realizing that when you disassociate from a narcissist, you end up losing contact with all the friends you knew through them. It makes the loss much worse.

At first I thought this was a line from Mary Poppins, then I looked it up.

Illustration of a man laying bricks to close up a stone alcove, with another man hanging from chains wrapped around his wrists inside of the alcove. A famous scene from Edgar Allen Poe's story The Cask of Amontillado.

Is this like a modern day Cask of Amontillado?
