> Not sure how much difference this makes over the long run

I tune in all fourths as well. For me it has made a huge difference since I made the jump some years ago. Putting voicings, patterns, etc., into muscular memory is faster and a lot less work. For my purposes, it makes the instrument more intuitive with a better ear-hand connection. Even very advanced players trip on the G-B strings oddity (with things like playing a fast, angular melody on different string sets, without preparation, for example).

It's really nice to play a scale, come to the octave, slide, and keep on playing the same shape across the higher strings. It's made the fretboard feel a lot more transparent to me.

Are there comparisons if is faster for beginners to learn to play on a isomorphic instrument?
hrnnnnnn · a month ago
On guitar in fourths tuning, you only need to learn each interval and chord shape once, compared to multiple permutations in standard tuning. Not sure how much difference this makes over the long run as another poster pointed out, but for me it made the process seem much less overwhelming and motivated me to start learning how to make my own chord voicings, which is something I wouldn't have done in standard tuning.

It would be interesting to hear from anyone who has played both a linear isomorphic keyboard like this, and two-dimensional isomorphic keyboards e.g. the Lumatone keyboards
hrnnnnnn · a month ago
I haven't played a linear isomorphic keyboard, but I do play guitar with an isomorphic tuning (EADGCF) and I have an Intuitive Instruments Exquis, which is a hex-grid. I feel like melody makes more sense linearly but harmony makes more sense in 2D.

Guitarists use non-standard tunings all the time. "Drop D" tuning is quite popular, for example (granted, Drop D changes the tuning of only one string of the guitar — but I'm sure there are other more elaborate tunings that some favor).

I use all-fourths tuning on guitar (EADGCF) which makes the fretboard isometric.

You lose some idiomatic guitar vocabulary, but if you don't care about that you gain the ability to construct your own chord voicings much more easily, and only need to remember one fingering for each chord instead of three.

Is there a good open source version of instapaper? I need to give Wallabag another look - has anyone used it recently?
hrnnnnnn · a month ago
I tried to install it recently to a linux container running on proxmox. I gave up after half an hour because it requires a ton of PHP dependencies and there's no instructions or script provided to install them. I guess if you use the docker version it should be easier, but that wasn't an option for me.

Here's a video showing how to use it in the Renoise DAW.

Skip to 5:41 to hear it actually played. Although I assume you'd need very good speakers and I'm not sure if the YT audio compression is good for very low tones.
hrnnnnnn · 2 months ago
I can't speak for YouTube's specific compression, but since there's less information in low frequency sounds they should compress better than high frequency sounds.

Anecdata: the bass in low bitrate online drum and bass radio in the 2000s always came through cleaner than the mids and treble.

I use pocket all the time to save articles to read on my kobo, which has a pretty good first-party integration in the OS.

I wonder what Rakuten are going to do.

It has a nice start-image with sunset and stylizised clouds.

Can anybody tell or guess how those clouds were created? I've been looking for such an effect for some time now, basically emphasizing edges and contours.

They look hand-drawn to me.
