There are rules to select those notes… but I just use my ears. Those are used to make a transition from tonality D# to tonality C#. From note entry 24 up to note entry 31 there are some “tonality change notes”. Those are “variations” used to enrich the bass line, but they confirm current tonality.įrom note entry 16, the same bassline from the beginning repeats until note entry 23. ![]() On note entries 12 and 14 there are some “enrichment notes”. Some “octave steps” are performed, so that bass lines notes alternate from D#2 to D#3 for a while. For instance, you may have noticed that at a certain point bass-line notes change so that they can accommodate for a tonality change.īut, let’s have a look at things from the very beginning.Īt the beginning, song tonality is D#. And the bassline also has some very short melodies on it that are used to follow the harmonic structure of the tune. But there are some “octave jumps” that make this bass line intriguing. We just have a sequence of notes with the same duration. And this tune in particular features a quite catchy bass line. This is something quite important in Rub Hubbard’s tunes. Finally, the remaining channel deals mostly with the main melody. Then, we have a channel with high-pitched sounds and drums. On this tune, we have a channel entirely devoted to the bass line. An old version of Sidplay has a mixer that allows listening to a single channel. In particular, a great attention on what happens on each SID channel must be taken. The first thing to do is to “split” the tune on different parts. If you have a music keyboard – even a very basic one – it will help. There’s nothing more suitable than your own ears to try and steal the notes from the original song you are going to cover or remake. ![]() ![]() sid file for Sidplayer are available.ĭOWNLOAD: Delta title tune by Retro64 (Goattracker tutorial) We won’t use advanced techniques but still, we will try to get the feeling of the original tune as much as we can.Īfter a few hours of work, here is the simple remake I have come up with for this tutorial. Instead, something close enough to the title tune can be done with not too much effort. Of course, the loader tune is obviously out of the question.

"We'll definitely be continuing to refine that experience as we see how people are using it, as we've continued to do over the last five years on PS3." Who knows - who knows what the future holds?" mulled Bruce in answer to a question about transitioning onto PlayStation 4. "Hopefully you and I will be sitting here in another seven years time and talking about 15 years of SingStar on all kinds of platforms. There's a simple recommendations feature to flag songs up for friends, and the SingStar Community video sharing area will remain a focal part of the whole experience. Some things have been tweaked such as buying songs quicker and with less faff, and the the disc-swap option (use old SingStar discs) is now in the carousel. SingStar free-to-play doesn't look any different to SingStar now, really. "There's no plans to do another SingStar Dance in the immediate future, no," stated Bruce. Well, it does as Dance Star Party, but not as SingStar Dance. It was fun (if you had a massive room with space for people to sing and dance) but the crossover doesn't have a future. Sony tried tapping into the Move market before with SingStar Dance, which combined the singing game with Move dancing. 'Oh buy another one buy another one.' Idiots.Įvery owner of a PlayStation Move owns a PlayStation Eye out of necessity, so Sony's broadened its SingStar horizons with one stroke. It's really great for those party experiences when there's loads of people around and loads of people are playing at the end of the night and everyone's just singing - it might be described as singing, others may describe it as shouting - into the camera." Guests are a pain - there's never a song they like. ![]() "Obviously it's not the two-player, two microphone experience," Bruce told me, "but people can have a go and get singing and see if they like it. The Eye is further from your mouth and is meant for groups of people to collectively bellow into rather than as a focused input device. You'll still want to use a microphone if you're fussy about getting accurate SingStar scores. "But there's nothing in the immediate future that's going to change there," Bruce said. Shops are essential for shifting SingStar microphones, and inviting other devices to the party doesn't mean Sony has given up iterating on official SingStar kit. "It was stronger on PlayStation 2 I guess it's fair to say." Chris Bruce, senior producer "We'll always be looking at opportunities that come along, and if we think we've got a great opportunity to bring something to market then we'll definitely be doing that." But there is "nothing I could possibly mention at the moment" in development now. So is this the end of SingStar in a box in a shop? "It was stronger on PlayStation 2 I guess it's fair to say." "We want to go back and recreate the success that we had on PlayStation 2, for sure," Bruce said. But it didn't have the same impact on PlayStation 3, and karaoke was usurped by dancing games as the nation's favourite party pursuit. SingStar, along with games like Buzz!, opened PlayStation 2 to the masses and sold by the bucket load. "It's really just the next step to broaden the audience and to get it out to everyone and get everyone singing again," senior producer Chris Bruce told Eurogamer. It's Sony's way of opening SingStar up to the masses. As will official PlayStation Bluetooth headsets and non-SingStar branded USB microphones. But if you do have those they will still work. Support for PlayStation Eye as a microphone has been added, so you won't need a traditional microphone peripheral to play. You can play your old PS2 and PS3 SingStar discs through the game - those catalogues of songs aren't lost to you. Any songs you've already bought will be imported and added to your free-to-play SingStar song selection.Ī selection of minute-long demo songs will be available to try for free. SingStar will be a free download but won't come with any songs - those you buy at the SingStore (prices won't change). This should hit either today or tomorrow. The free SingStar XMB application will appear in the next PS3 firmware update. Yes SingStar is going free-to-play: Sony has confirmed it and I've interviewed the senior producer. ![]() 3/28/2023 0 Comments Dff2dsf computer audiophile![]() Storing information about the audio means using separate databases, which is a pain when moving the music from one system to another. Meanwhile, DSD Interchange File Format (DFF) files don't allow any tags to be stored, making music library organising much more difficult. Hence, a DSF file could be transferred to different music players and retain the same metadata. This embedded metadata includes the names of the audio contained, information about the release the audio is part of, and other data such as album artwork. The choice is refreshingly simple: use DSF.ĭSD Storage Facility (DSF) files are far better suited to music library management because they allow the inclusion of metadata. Normally, when I compare two competing approaches for what is essentially the same thing, I tend to say: this approach offers this benefit, while this other approach has some other benefit. When stored on a computer, there are two major file formats for DSD: DSF and DFF. If I want to clean up my music library, and keep it that way, which format should I choose? DSF versus DFF It's when we begin to consider the file formats that DSD can be contained in that things begin getting practical for a music collector. Put another way, there's no such thing as a DSD file. The reason for this is that DSD is simply the audio storage mechanism there's no direct influence as to how DSD maps to computer-based audio files, neither does it dictate how metadata for the audio, such as the name of a given piece of music, its location on a release, or anything else, should be stored. DSD and music library managementįrom the point of view of organising your music library, DSD is a bit of an irrelevance. As ever, what I'm interested in is where this leaves the audio collector and the music-library-organiser. I'll leave the audiophiles to discuss the merits of PDM versus PCM, and DSD versus the common-or-garden audio file formats. This makes certain demands on your playback equipment for "true" PDM support, although other mechanisms exist to convert the DSD signal to PCM for broader DAC support. PCM is how CDs store their audio, it is commonly the audio form that WAV stores, and for other audio file formats (FLAC, MP3, whatever) it is the resulting audio data stream that is sent to a DAC.ĭSD is different in that its underlying audio storage is pulse-density modulation (PDM). Historically, most digital audio storage boils down to the audio data being either stored or converted to pulse-code modulation (PCM). It was originally conceived for storing audio on Super Audio CDs but has since become a way of storing computer-based audio. What's interesting about DSD is that it's fundamentally different, not only to tapes, vinyl or punched cards, but also to other types of digital audio storage. What does this mean for audio libraries?ĭirect Stream Digital (DSD) is a way of storing digital audio data. ![]() 3/28/2023 0 Comments Deathloop yerhva![]() ![]() It is in a building along the southern road in Karl’s Bay.

Other startups focus on cash, too, like PayNearMe, which lets users shop online and pay with cash, or Dwolla, which has been building out a full cash-based payment network.īut neither PayNearMe nor Dwolla have the brand name recognition of PayPal, and despite Walmart’s size, it is still but one retailer, not a larger network of merchants, like the many merchants offering PayPal support. Walmart, a major retailer with both an online and offline presence, attempted to woo this cash-preferred customer to its e-commerce site as well, by launching a “pay with cash” option in April 2012. And, in turn, that limits PayPal’s potential user base. That limits the amount of online shopping they’ve been able to do in the past, of course. The difference is that this type of consumer tends to prefer using cash to credit or debit, however. The typical prepaid card holder has, on average, 3.2 other cards in his or her wallet, Wilkes told us. With this move, PayPal is expanding its reach to the segment of the market commonly referred to as the “un-banked” or “under-banked.” Though that’s something of a misnomer, as Dave Wilkes, CEO of Fuze Networks recently pointed out to us. His company is working to allow consumers to make bill payments using cash, and he says that who prefer to pay with cash aren’t necessarily “un-banked” (at least, not in the U.S.). To launch the new card, PayPal worked with InComm, a provider of prepaid products, including wireless cards, gift cards, redeemable debit cards, promotional cards, gaming cards, and other stored value cards in the industry. If they don’t have this information, they can work with PayPal’s Resolution Center to provide additional proof of identity. Card holders do not have to submit to a credit check to use the My Cash Card, but they do have to provide name, address, date of birth and their Social Security Number which PayPal uses to verify identity. There is also a $3.95 activation fee, and users can load up to $500 per day with a maximum of $4,000 per month. After the funds are loaded, users can checkout with PayPal at any of the online merchants’ websites where PayPal is supported. ![]() If they don’t already have a PayPal account, they can create one at this time. Users then log into the PayPal My Cash Card website, and load the funds directly into their PayPal account using the PIN number provided on the back of the card. The card is available at launch in fixed amounts like $20, $50, $100 and higher. To activate a card, users first purchase the dollar amount they want to load. PayPal plans for the card to reach 60,000 retailers by 2013. The company says that the PayPal Cash Card will be available beginning today, at 30,000 locations across the U.S., 10,000 of which are Dollar Generals. The card will be sold at pharmacies and discount stores, including CVS, Rite Aid, Fred’s, Dollar General, Family Dollar, and others soon. PayPal announced today the launch of its first fully branded cash loading card, called the PayPal My Cash Card, which will allow users to load up their PayPal accounts using cash instead of bank transfers. ![]() 3/28/2023 0 Comments Wallpaper beautiful scenery![]() ![]() 2650x1600px Nature, Water, Trees, Sky, Mountains, Lake, Reflection HD wallpaper.5220x4000px Lake, mountains, sunset, nature HD wallpaper.3648x5472px Nature, Sunset, Sky, Clouds, Palms, Tropics, Porous HD phone wallpaper. ![]() 2548x3822px Horizon, mountains, pink sky, sunset HD phone wallpaper.5120x2880px Sky, Landscape, Art, Mountains, Road HD wallpaper.5251x3504px Landscape, Trees, Nature, Mountains, Italy, Lake HD wallpaper.1920x1080px Mountain and lake at sunset, tranquility, landscape, beautiful, grass, serenity, mountain, lake, reflection, trees, sky, amazing, calmness, sunset HD wallpaper.7680x4655px Landscape, sunset, orange sky, pathway, art HD wallpaper.3456x4320px Clouds, Starry Sky, Sunset, Nature HD phone wallpaper.1600x900px lake, landscape, nature, mountain HD wallpaper.1920x1440px BEAUTIFUL TINY ISLAND, blue, island, house, paradise, beautiful, lake, lovely nature, clouds, nature, sky, cottage, mountains, splendor, water HD wallpaper.3792x4740px Beach, island, sunset, clouds, nature HD phone wallpaper.2560x1600px Landscape, Nature, Rivers, Sky HD wallpaper.6000x4000px Nature, Mountains, Sea, Night, Clouds, Ocean HD wallpaper.2560x1416px Mountains, Nature, Grass, Sky, Summer, Lake HD wallpaper.5272圆590px Sea, sunset, red clouds, nature HD phone wallpaper.1280x792px Winter Sunset, winter, snow, clouds, trees, sky, nature, sunset HD wallpaper.5472x3648px Starry sky, night, mountains, nature HD wallpaper.5472x3648px Clouds and sunset, sky, sea of clouds HD wallpaper.Red Background, Black and, Black and Red Mobile HD phone wallpaper 1080x1920px abstraction red smoke black Ultra for your, Mobile & Tablet.3840x2160px lake, woonden fence, mountains, landscape, sunset, neon art HD wallpaper.6000x4000px Trees, Nature, Sunset, Sky, Clouds, Horizon, Field HD wallpaper.3000x2000px Nature, Mountains, Lake, Beautiful Landscape HD wallpaper.1067x1600px BLUR BACKGROUND FOR EDITING I PICSART, blur nature mobile HD phone wallpaper.Nature Sky Mountains Clouds Sunset Lake Trees Night beautiful Sea Sun Evening Field Starry Sky ![]() ![]() It is important to note, however, that vinegar-based cleaning solutions should not replace true sanitizing cleaners that remove 99.9 percent of disease-causing bacteria and viruses, the EPA standard for products labeled as sanitizers. When you wash windows with vinegar, not only will you be able to break down and remove dirt, grease, and mineral deposits, you’ll also be able to kill germs on hard surfaces around the home. The colorless organic compound gives white vinegar its pungent flavor and odor, and kills some bacteria. The main reason why distilled white vinegar makes such a good glass cleaner is because it contains acetic acid. The cleaner will dry fairly quickly, leaving behind a streak-free shine. For best results, opt for a microfiber cloth or chamois. Be careful not to use a cloth or sponge that’s going to leave streaks. With your homemade window cleaner now ready, spray the window glass with it and then, using a lint-free cloth, wipe the cleaner across the entire surface you’re cleaning. Pick your favorite oil and add 10 to 15 drops. Fortunately, you can go a long way toward camouflaging the scent of your homemade glass cleaner by adding essential oil to the spray bottle mixture. STEP 3: Add oil to make the cleaner smell nice (optional).Īs a cleaning agent, there’s much to love about vinegar, but the strong odor isn’t everyone’s favorite thing. Like distilled white vinegar, lemon juice has a mild acidity that cuts through grease and grime with equal panache. If you don’t have white vinegar on hand, you can substitute it with lemon juice.

Non-linear regressions of community similarity (e.g. The assessment of spatial turnover in community composition and, more precisely, its dependence on spatial/environmental distance relies on adequately modelling the shape of the relationship between community similarity and spatial/environmental distance. Therefore, we predict that species range size is a crucial link between the processes controlling species distributions and the shape of the relationship between community similarity and spatial (or environmental) distance. ![]() On the contrary, the distributions of organisms with low vagility and narrow niches are generally smaller and, thus, higher turnover in community composition is expected for these taxa. In turn, larger distributions increase the probability of different sites having the same species, thus leading to higher similarity in community composition. Thus, organisms with high vagility and wide niches would tend to have larger distributions. Moreover, species range size also depends on dispersal and niche processes (Brown et al., 1996 Willis, 1922). However, the links between distance-decay and key macroecological attributes, such as species range size, have received less attention, even though range size determines to which extent a given species can be found in two different sites. The biogeographic characteristics of the study area (such as spatial scale or latitude) also impact the patterns of distance-decay (Nekola & McGill, 2014 Nekola & White, 1999 Soininen et al., 2007). ![]() niche requirements or dispersal ability) and their interaction with the environment (Morlon et al., 2008 Steinbauer et al., 2012). At local or regional scales, distance-decay curves are primarily shaped by the organisms’ biological characteristics (e.g. The decrease in community similarity with spatial or environmental distance, that is, distance-decay of similarity, is a general property of biological systems that has been studied for a large range of organisms, for example, archaea (Barreto et al., 2014), bacteria (Barreto et al., 2014 Milici et al., 2016), diatoms (Astorga et al., 2012 Wetzel et al., 2012), fungi (Bahram et al., 2013), plants (König et al., 2017 La Sorte et al., 2008 Nekola & White, 1999 Qian, 2009) and both invertebrate (Saito et al., 2015 Thieltges et al., 2009) and vertebrate animals (Maloney & Munguia, 2011 Qian & Ricklefs, 2012) in different environments, from neotropical forests (Palmer, 2005) to urban environments (La Sorte et al., 2008) and at different spatial scales (Steinbauer et al., 2012). The Gompertz function is the mathematical model that best accommodates different frequency distributions of species range size and, thus, allows cross-taxa comparison of this biogeographical and ecological pattern. This dependence makes it an interesting tool to detect biodiversity threats associated with species range expansion, such as the biotic homogenization of faunas. The functional form of distance-decay patterns depends on a key biogeographical attribute: species range size. Remarkably, the Gompertz function fits the data reasonably well in all scenarios. Similar results have been found in the distance-decay pattern of South American mammals. An increase in range sizes leads to a negative exponential relationship, taking the shape of a sigmoidal (Gompertz) relationship with the largest range size values. Our simulations showed that the power-law is the best supported model when range sizes tend to be small. We also used distribution data of South American mammals to explore the relationship between species range size and the distance-decay form in an empirical dataset. Simulations were performed using different sample sizes and species detection probabilities. negative exponential, power-law or sigmoidal relationships). We computed distance-decay curves from simulated communities to assess how the species range sizes shape the functional form of distance-decay patterns (i.e. (i) To assess the dependence between the form of the decrease in biological similarity with distance (distance-decay) and species range size and (ii) to introduce the use of a sigmoidal model, the Gompertz function, as a flexible alternative able to fit distance-decay models under a wide variety of species range sizes. ![]() |
