NAMM 2015: DP9

[dado]

For what I understand the new DP9 have the futures to open a MIDI track and assign a VI output? I mean, you don't have to open two tracks ( MIDI and instrument track ). Right?

Haven't heard that, but it doesn't mean it's not happening. I have my doubts, though.

The way I understand it from as it was explained is in the new Add tracks you can create the Instrument track and as many MIDI tracks as one needs and have them automatically assigned to the vi MIDI inputs. But there would still be separate MIDI and Instrument tracks it would seem; no single Instrument track that hosts both the vi and MIDI.

BTW - has anybody noticed that Magic Dave's hair went from a nice full head of dark hair to an almost total grey since NAMM 2014?

Uhm, would like the possibility to have MIDI&VI out in the same track

Probably from answering this question a million times.

He's reached platinum status...

Unless I'm misunderstanding, this feature already exists under add tracks. I use this.

Ok let's ban this topic ( and grey beards too)

Probably just more sex. Lucky bugger.

Loss of copper and selenium. Proved this decades ago.

3 Possibilities:

• 1) Saw a ghost
  2) Grecian Formula truck broke down
  3) Married with kids; just saw what schools cost.

Actually, married with kids will do the gray. The school thing wipes the pate clean.

Shoosh

For Gingers. What about the rest of us?

[monkey man]

Loss of these trace minerals through, er, well, you know?

As I said, I proved it decades ago (by inquiry and correlation with, er, "fluids" lost). I've been able to pick sex addicts out of the crowd with remarkable accuracy for quite some time. Craig Thompson, the now-disgraced ex-pollie down here in Jungleville is a classic example. I heard his protesting one thing (his innocence) under parliamentary privilege, which at the time much of the nation believed, but I can tell you that I saw a vastly different reality that years later became unquestionably apparent to all.

Time and again I've been right, well past the point of statistical probability. It's the same as picking star signs based on appearance. I noticed the patterns perhaps 30 years ago. Virgos have been the easiest for me, but I'm not bad with Cancer & Taurus, less so Scorpio, Libra, certain Aquarian, Sagg & Leo looks and so on down the scale. I guessed 19 Virgos in a row over a 2-year period, all complete strangers I met at the local shops. Statistically, I believe you'd have to win a major lottery, like, thousands of times, possibly more, in order to match this level of improbability. Quite literally, it's like picking a number from 1 to 12 and getting it right 19 times in a row. So, much as folks like to baulk at "anecdotal" evidence, when results fly in the face of statistical probability to this extent, I consider a matter closed and sufficiently proven... at which point I let go my grip on the matter (i.e.: forget!) and turn my attention to the next thing.

Anyway, the proof, as they say, is in the eating (oh God, I won't even go there), so take a gander at celibate lil' ol' me when I'm 60 or 70 and you'll see I was right all along, Stoivo! Take that to the bank from the patterns guy. I'll send you some locks as souvenirs, bro'!

Folks, it's probably best to ignore this silly ape's rants; at the very least, they'll probably get you into some sort of trouble. Sorry all.

[bayswater]

Hard to argue with that tongue colour. Lots of copper there.

[monkey man]

Exactly. Pink as a... er... cripes... oh, that's it, a crêpe.

Re: Virgos.
There are more Virgos than any other sign, I don't know why, but that's the facts.
Plus, and this is huge, children eat up information like hotcakes, it doesn't matter if it's accurate. So when you tell a kid he is good at handling pain, he will be good at handling pain etc. So, when you tell a child he is analytical, or more to the point when common cultural norms are to be believed, (that the month you were born in determines that you are an analytical person), then you will model that behavior. Anecdotal evidence, tell people you are the farthest sign from what you actually are and watch people who believe in astrology assign those traits to you. As a Taurus I've done this any number of times, and it's a great study in human nature. Selection bias is a real phenomena and should be taken into account any time you start to think the world fits your skull better than the average joe.

I just wish DP 9 was out tomorrow, well, maybe in a month, I'm about to buy Altiverb after lusting after it for 15 years...

I'm sure you're correct! didn't think about that.

[monkey man]

I agree; I've always figured that too.

I agree, Michael, and I sure hope you're not implying that I think the "world fits my skull better than the average Joe". After all, I love people and believe I can learn from everything others say, quite literally. I've always considered myself a bit of a twit.

Perhaps you misunderstood - the 19-in-a-row guesses were based on appearance alone. I didn't know any of those folk from a bar of soap. To ignore the 19-in-a-row thing, as far as I'm concerned, would've been ignorance in its highest degree, so from my perspective, paying heed to it had nothing to do with elevating myself somehow, and everything to do with educating myself... somehow.

I'm sorry I mentioned it; I should've known better. As I often say here, I'm just a punk with toilet water behind his ears, and at the rate I'm going I wonder if I'll ever really grow up.

Dang. Same here!

Alti's probably going to have to wait yet again now 'though, seeing as the AVB-upgrade path seems to be crystallising for me as we speak. It's this sort of thing that's responsible, I suspect in both our cases, for the 15-year postponement - somehow, something more immediately-necessary rears its head just as things are about to happen.

All I can say is, you lucky bugger. I worked hard on my ProVerb library, but it's still a very hit-and-miss affair, lacking the consistency and cogency I'd expect from Alti.

Enjoy it mate; it's not like you haven't waited long enough. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint!

I'd say embrace the grey (or is it gray?)
