![]() ![]() The same fat analog synth textures give your bass a whole new range of possibilities: from percussive stabs to backwards-sounding bowed sounds. The Bass Micro Synthesizer from Electro-Harmonix has the same feature set as the Micro Synthesizer, but includes a trigger and filter sweep range especially tailored for bass guitar. Therefore it is superior to the V2 and XO.EHX Micro Synthesizer Effects Pedal for Bass Guitar It has the great vintage tone that you would expect, a good bypass and good tracking of the notes. So if you care about your sound I warmly recommend you to get the V3 Reissue Micro Synthesizer. The square wave sounds very tame in comparison and does not give you that aggressive, raw, musical, vintage fuzz tone. But unfortunately, it sounds noticeably different. The bypass is also better than on the previous versions. #Eh microsynth trigger plus#The XO gets a plus point for its pedalboard-friendly size and the 9v connection. Unfortunately, I was not able to get my hands on a V1 Micro Synth yet. The V3 has also a much better tracking and bypass than the V2.Ĭompared to the XO both sound more raw and organic. ![]() It has a beefy low end and sounds very fat. But the sub-octave on the V3 is much more bass-heavy. The V2 and V3 versions have a lot in common. But there are some obvious differences if you compare them side by side. Playing the Micro Synth is fun no matter what version you have. ![]() I hope it helps you to remember your favorite settings! Vintage vs Reissue vs XO Micro Synthesizer I have made a Micro Synthesizer Setting Chart that I want to share with you. On the XO version, you have to open the backplate to access the trim pot. Turning the trim pot clockwise will increase the preamp gain and vice versa. If you are using an instrument with higher or lower output than a guitar with single-coil pickups you can adjust the preamp gain with a small screwdriver. On the back of the Micro Synth V1, V2 and V3 there is a hole to access the trim pot. The Start and Stop Frequency sliders determine the frequency at which the filter sweep starts/stops and the Rate sets how quickly the sweep occurs. The Resonance slider boosts the selected frequency and sets the degree of sharpness. #Eh microsynth trigger full#Sets the time required for the voice signals to reach full volume. Here you can control the completely independent output volume of the input signal, the Sub-Octave, the Octave and the Square Wave. The four sliders set overall “mix” of the voices. The Trigger slider determines the input volume at which the filter circuits will be triggered.ĭon’t set it too high, especially when playing chords because this will make the filter ‘stutter’. It is a complete redesign of the circuit and comes in a small metal case. The Micro Synthesizer XO is the newest version of the pedal. Because Panasonic discontinued the production of the analog chips Electro-Harmonix had to purchase the remaining supply for the reissue version and probably stopped the production when they ran out of them. It uses the same components as the original units. V3 is the Micro Synthesizer reissue and has a 24v wall wart. Like the original Micro Synthesizer, the V2 has a built-in power supply and came in a cardboard box. The V2 was the first version with an On/Off Switch on the backside and an LED. One for the basic circuit and another one that holds the sliders and links the controls to the mainboard. It uses two circuit boards mounted on top of each other (like the V2 and V3). In contrast to later versions, it had no LED and the square wave was labeled as distortion. It had no On/Off Switch on the backside and the Foot Switch was on the left side. The first Micro Synth was released in 1979. Please contact me if you have any information! V1 Micro Synthesizer 1979 There is only little known about the different versions of the Micro Synthesizer. It was inspired by the sound of the 1970’s analog synths like Moog, Arp, Oberheim, and others. The micro synthesizer creates different timbres by modifying the input signal into different circuits. It is an all-analog design that features a 4 voice mixer and a 2-pole filter. Like many of the great Electro Harmonix (EHX) pedals, the Micro Synthesizer was developed by David Cockerell. ![]() ![]() GOOGLE READER API PHP CODEWhile many developers share points against using PHP due to its messy code nature, the language remains a valid solution.īusinesses continue to use desktop/web apps and websites built in PHP frameworks. The API has an extra layer of security, which is critical if you are dealing with sending confidential data via email. It is also a great option for automating processes and providing a wide range of functionality for users. On the contrary, Gmail API is a faster appliance. However, SMTP might have speed and security issues. Moreover, you can benefit from using default Gmail, setting custom mailing services, or even using a testing SMTP server for email testing. You don’t need deep programming skills to handle all sorts of things. SMTP is a widespread and easy-to-configure solution for sending emails. No surprise, both options are legit for PHP. On the other hand, a third-party API application can request access only to send emails (not read), or read only (but not send) or only to change labels for emails and threads, or only to search for specific items. Note: keep in mind that the maximum Gmail message size is 50MB with not more than 25MB of attachments. Gmail API has a limit of one billion quota units per day. It is especially important because when working with mail, you must take into account the existing restrictions on the number of messages sent, the possible amount of forwarding, the maximum number of recipients, and other blockers. Gmail API uses Open Authentication (OAuth 2.0), which allows you to request only the amount of access you need. GOOGLE READER API PHP FULLRegarding access, SMTP provides full access to the account using the client’s SMTP authentication login and password. Even more, HTTP may be enough to send emails with Gmail API. You can integrate Gmail API to establish a connection between your app and Gmail to send emails. In general, various APIs offer a streamlined opportunity for applications, frameworks, and codes to communicate with each other. After authorization, the server sends an email to the recipient’s SMTP server, which in turn redirects it to the IMAP4 or POP3 server. Google’s MTA establishes a TCP connection to an SMTP server and sends an email. The latter here is responsible for email sending since it’s outbound email protocol. Google’s service grants access to messages using email protocols. GOOGLE READER API PHP HOW TOIn this article, I’ll share the expertise of our dev team on how to set up Gmail API in PHP.įirst, we need to compare the use of API and SMTP for Gmail email sending. One example of advanced use of Gmail is implementing its API. ![]() ![]() Also, this service offers the widest range of features, from spell checking to marking conversation streams using tags, which makes it convenient for use by anyone. Today more than 1.8 billion clients have its virtual mailboxes, largely due to the possibility of free use. Gmail is arguably the most acclaimed email service at the moment. ![]() ![]() These bonuses should also apply to healing if the lightweight player is using a healing staff so we don’t have heavy class healers dominating the scene as much as they do nowadays. Suggestion: Improve light armor bonuses from +20% damage to +40% damage (some people may not agree but if you’re going to take A LOT of damage from being light-weight then you should also be able to deal equally AS much) - since you can never truly do trades, this will atleast even up the odds of running lightweight for stats not just for the mobility. PvP wise - the 20% bonus damage you deal to said heavy player doesn’t mean much if he/she has extremely high defenses (borne from wearing plate) while you - sacrificing huge defenses for a measly 20% bonus damage and the ability to “dodgeroll” (you still take heaps of damage from the heavy player) which is not something you will always use if you are making attempts to trade blows.įor the medium armor - this is in a good spot at the moment because it has the most balance between all armor types - you don’t take too much damage - good quick hops - measly bonus 10% damage but overall much more ideal in every situationįor the heavy armor - no bonus damage but massive defenses/resistances - typically amazing in every PvP/PvE scenario - (lacks the dodgeroll capability but having weapons that have mobility abilities compensate for this e.g Greataxe charge / Hatchet berserk) Also great armor set for tanks in general (always need a tank in your party for a smoother dungeon PvE experience or a stronger zerg structure for larger scale pvp) (PvE wise light armors can’t face tank without taking heaps of damage from mobs - dodging and blocking is much more relied on) PvP wise - facetanking vs a heavy armor will never work so keeping distance is always the key however that won’t be as impactful when you deal so little damage to them in the first place. #Conan exiles armor set bonuses full#having to get struck once and losing nearly 30-40% of your health from a mob of a similar level or a player wearing heavy armor (whilst you wear light armor) getting a lucky hit on you?Īs of the moment - the only real reason why I run light armor is because I am trying to play full glasscannon with high mobility - though the damage I get out of being light armor isn’t all that different so technically I am only really benefitting from the dodgeroll + animation cancel for maximum mobility. ![]() The logic here is - why should player 1 wear light armor only to have an extra 20% damage bonus when in the mid-to-late game levels (40-60) Having more defense and being able to take much lesser damage makes a world of a difference vs. The point of this thread is to emphasize the need for improving the “identity” of each of these equip loads or armor weights via better stats. There are currently 3 different equip load states in the game - Light, Medium and Heavy ![]() ![]() ![]()
Damon Slye, the original developer of Dynamix’ Red Baron and Aces of the Pacific, gave this update to the community just last month: The website hasn’t been updated since 2010, nor have there been any forum posts from the devs. Shortly after InstantAction shutdown, Mad Otter stated that they had plans to re-release Ace of Aces, but since then absolutely nothing has come to fruition. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride for die-hard AoA fans. Another WIP mech game to keep your eye on is MAV, which is being built on the Unity engine.Ģ014 update: Dark Horizons was recently Greenlit on steam.Ģ017 update: You can buy Lore: Dark Horizons for $14 on Steam.Īce of Aces: Oy vey. It looks like they’re updating the game to the latest version of Torque, which is a pretty significant visual upgrade. The first one they uploaded was simply their original MAVLab tutorial for InstantAction, except they removed the parts that mentioned IA. The original developers started uploading videos about the game around 3 months ago. However, it lives on as Dark Horizons: Mechanized Assault. Quite certain this was exclusive to InstantAction and wasn’t available outside of its services. Lore: Aftermath: No demo that I’m aware of. But if all you want is some MBO/MBU, the unofficial port should do the trick.Ģ017 update: Check out Marble Skies as well. #GALCON 2 KICKSTARTER MOD#While the mod is free to download, you must also have a copy of MBG already installed. If you’re interested, here’s a total conversion mod called Marble Blast Platinum for Marble Blast Gold. As someone who never played MBO, the port is pretty damn slick (except for the Xbox controller menus). #GALCON 2 KICKSTARTER DOWNLOAD#Here’s a video showcasing it, along with a download link in the description. #GALCON 2 KICKSTARTER PC#The only demos I can find are for older Marble Blast games from 2003 or so, however an unofficial PC port of MBU (essentially MBO) was released back in December. Like the majority of InstantAction’s game, Marble Blast suffered from IP disputes and was pulled from…well…everywhere. Marble Blast Online: As far as I know there isn’t a PC demo for Marble Blast Online, which was actually Marble Blast Ultra on XBLA. ![]() #GALCON 2 KICKSTARTER FULL#The full game can be bought for about $7 from Shockwave, though you might be more interested in checking out this thread for a more ‘reasonable’ price. seems to be a fairly active (but again small) community for the game. It pulls up servers and starts the connection process, but I could never connect to a game because I didn’t have the right community files. ![]() ThinkTanks: A demo of ThinkTanks is available over at. ![]() The forum seems pretty active, so chances are you’ll manage to get a few hours worth of gameplay each day. As of writing there doesn’t appear to be anyone playing according to the website, but then again it is 1:00am. The last time I checked in on BitFighter it had a small, but active, community. The other is to play BitFighter, a free spiritual successor/remake available for Windows, Linux, and OS X. One is to download the demo from GargaeGames’ website here. Zap: While the original game is no longer available to play, you do have some other options. She’s a pure sweetheart, no two ways about it.With the recent developments of a few InstantAction-related projects, I thought I’d write a small post about the current situation of the games that once were. And she would likely stay there for hours if I let her. If I’m chopping firewood and I sit down on a stump for a few minutes’ break, Lilly is in my lap with her head on my chest before I’m even settled. I wonder if Phil has been letting her watch Kung Fu movies?īut while she is a little ball of energy most of the time, Lilly also loves the quiet moments. She has a habit of running up the wall of the house and doing backflips off it. Lilly has also been honing her Ninja skills. If I were in the racing goat business, Lilly would be my prize filly. Any time one opens even a crack, Lilly is already jumping on it, even if she was on the other side of the yard before you blinked. Be it the house or the truck, no door is safe. She’s our “Flash Gordon” goat who is here one second and 100 yards away the next. Yet I’m convinced she’s not unhealthy because she’s been thoroughly wormed and I’ve never seen a brighter eye or a springier step. This would be the girl we’d all hate because she could down three cheeseburgers and half a pizza every day and still fit in size 2 jeans.Įven though Lilly gets three all-you-can eat meals of grain a day and 24-hour access to hay, she stays thin as a rail. While she’ll probably never win any awards for impressive size or conformation, if she were human she would be the envy of every woman in America. This little sweetheart has wormed her way into my affections in ways I never thought a goat could do. ![]() |
