Is that 269 that those straps have been made out of?

Everything but the Non-Binary Sibling Sledge

Rather better rehearsal with the originals band this time as the BL wasn't stressed out and exhausted. Got a little disrupted towards the end as the slightly dodgy PA amp in the room started cutting out on particular notes. Still, we continue to make progress.

I know you're all eager to hear this - when your batteries are running flat, the old MS series stopped working (but you could check the battery level). On the Plus series, AFAICS you can't check the battery level but when the batteries run flat, it stops working and the panel flashes twice a second accompanied by a CLACK CLACK CLACK noise, so that's, er, really handy.

And there's some additional information in the very brief user manual on MIDI mapping other than the PC mapping, and a Zoom interface explorer at https://www.waveformer.net/zoom-explorer/. This could be handy for anyone who wants to build a controller to allow all six effects to be switched on and off without scrolling. For the original MS pedals (MS-70CDR, MS-50G), mapping of MIDI CCs to effect parameters only works smoothly for the first three effect slots. For the remaining three effect slots, changing the effect parameters will trigger a patch reload, which will result in audio being muted for a brief moment. For the MS+ pedals (MS-70CDR+, MS-60B+, MS-50G+) the MIDI CC mapping works for all effect slots. CC Target 2 Effect 1 on/off 3-14 Effect 1 parameter 1-12 17 Effect 2 on/off 18-29 Effect 2 parameter 1-12 33 Effect 3 on/off 34-45 Effect 3 parameter 1-12 48 Effect 4 on/off 49-60 Effect 4 parameter 1-12 63 Effect 5 on/off 64-75 Effect 5 parameter 1-12 78 Effect 6 on/off 79-90 Effect 6 parameter 1-12

Just to add this: there was a mention of a browser-based editor for Zoom pedals on Reddit, so I checked it out. https://sym.bios.is/ Quick screenshot: Note: I had to disable ad-blockers on the site, which doesn't look like a problem as there aren't any ads.

I got the MS-70CDR+ rather than the MS-60B+. Not having PC editing is a PITA. There's a good selection of effects though, and I'm not bothered about amp sims, hence going for the CDR rather than the B. I'm not sure if this is me missing something, or an issue with the pedal design. I'm using batteries in it for now, just for convenience while I'm messing around with it. On my non-plus MS pedals, I can press the Settings button and it will show me the state of the batteries. The manual for the MS-70CDR+ says that I should select the battery type so it can tell me the battery state correctly but doesn't then appear to have a way of showing the battery state, and there's nothing in the manual that I have found to tell me how to find the battery state.

No, it was @Woodinblack who bought the bigly bass.

Well worth it.

ITYM Swiss cheese.

Done the thrust bearing mod yet?

Embrace the last 40 years and keep it active.

I've been using its predecessor, the Tecamp Puma 900, for many years. Very happy with it. And it has options for colouring the tone or just leaving it uncoloured.

I thought this was another Marillion thread at first.

Sugar mice, off Clutching at Straws. Very tasty fretless.

It would still rock if you put four feet on it. It would be stable if you put three feet on it.

BTW, you can get a nice cheap case for them: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395605108359 There's loads of the same case on Ebay.

It's not a serious issue. I leave Bluetooth on on my phone as I've got an unfitness tracker which is handy for relaying notifications. If I want to send music to the Neo from a different device, I have to switch Bluetooth off on the phone, then switch the Neo on and then do a connect from the other device (doesn't need to be re-paired, it shows on the paired devices list). It's really nice not having to fight with headphone cables (Katana Go, Nux Mighty Plug).

I bought a 5-string J neck a little while ago which I have yet to use - I have plans. Profile feels nice.

It's not obligatory to make it an 8. In a former social club band, the singer would make the middle 8 into anything from a middle 3.5 upwards, which did mean the rest of us needed to be on our toes (we did anyway for the random rearrangements of verse and chorus). But if 12 feels right, then 12 it should be (the middle 8 of our song in question is actually a middle 18).

A slightly unusual rehearsal with the originals band as it's the first time I've left the previous rehearsal with a male drummer and come back to this one with a female one, and they're the same person. Our BL is somewhat stressed out by work at the moment and exhausted, so there were a few mistakes, but we got a good foundation for the next song, just sorting the middle 8 out, and we weren't too bad running through the existing songs.

What's the conversion rate between moths and Australian dollars?

A woman I know has incontinence pants - if they haven't got any XL in, they substitute with S. I'm not sure why they think she's gone down 8 dress sizes in a couple of hours.

It should say "Paul's letter to the Epiphanies", the lesser-known one after Paul's letter to the Corinthians.
