![]() ![]() ![]() I use this for my other stuff (Tape plugins / Reverbs / Delays) I have a console one that’s great too, but only for the Softube environment. It’s working better than everything else I tried before this. For 20,- it’s quite spectacular if you ask me. Feedback is working great, actually everything is working great. Don’t forget to press save after doing your mapping! After you did that once, every time you focus a plugin of the mapped type, the smartknobs script handles the connection. The Smartbox script is aware of the focussed Plugin and you can map out the parameters here. The nocturn push-knobs are seen as faders with values 0 and 100. Now the magic begins: the SmartKnobs script window is now connected to the faderbox plugin and the Nocturn is connected to the ReaJS plugin (that’s connected to the Faderbox plugin) You can edit the faderbox JS for more faders. Load this JS with your automapped ReaJS (that you just put up on the _LBX_SKCTL track) Install it along your other JS plugins for reaper. Skip all the stuff that he wants you to do for reaper and don’t create wrappers for all your plugins, but ONLY create a wrapper for the newly installed ReaJS plugin (C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins\reaplugs) or else you’ll have a shitload of wrapped plugins you have to wade through every time.Ĭreate a track with name _LBX_SKCTL and insert the AutoMapped version of ReaJS.ĭownload the LBX FaderBox x32 JS plugin from the LBX git. Install ReaJS from the ReaPlugs suite (use Google). I use SWS to load it automatically with every project (Startup Actions -> Set global startup action -> smartknobs action id). Install the LBX SmartKnobs script (Actions -> Load Script) and dock the newly created window. I learned all this stuff from another video in this blog about using the SmartKnobs script. Key is only using a single automap wrapped plugin: The plugin called ReaJS (look for Reaplugs suite). It needs a little setup, but it is actually quite easy. ![]() I’m only using it for plugin control and that’s working incredibly well, better then expected. I just bought one for 20,- and it’s working great. My review of the Nocturn 49 when I first got it Linking a MIDI Controller to Reaper track controls Some tutorials where I’ve featured the Nocturn: These came out in 2008 but you can still get current (beta) drivers.Ĭheck eBay, and local classified ads (Craigslist etc) for great deals. Even $99 for the very good keyboard version is worth it IMO. On the keyboard version I really like using the mod wheel linked to REAPER’s “Adjust selected track volume” action.Ĭonsidering you can snag one of these for $30 now, heck yeah they’re worth buying. In REAPER I don’t like to use the HUI mode, instead I set up a MIDI mode with track controls like volume, mute, solo and 4 knobs for send levels. The little heads up display when you touch an encoder is great. Other than being Mac only, there doesn’t seem to be any downside to using AU with automap and VSTs elsewhere in the same project.Ĭustom mapping of the knobs to your software is so easy and flexible. On my system the wrapped VSTs would crash REAPER if removed from the project. Plugins can be wrapped with Automap for bidirectional feedback (awesome!) but currently I would recommend only using this with AudioUnits. The mixer button set the controller up as a HUI mixer controller for volume, panning, mute etc. ![]() For MIDI Mapping you get 16 custom maps, with the buttons you can also assign keyboard shortcuts. The current version of the software is excellent. I bought an Arturia MiniLab MK2 for a more desk friendly option but there’s no doubt it’s a worse product on both the hardware and software side.Īt one point I considered buying a second one and cutting off the keyboard section, luckily I found the desktop version for just $30 locally in pretty good condition, just one knob is jumpy. About a year ago the pitch bend stopped working correctly and for now I’ve bypassed it with some resistors.Īfter switching my studio from iMac to MacBook I no longer had room on the desk for my Nocturn 49 and was really missing it. I bought the Nocturn 49 in 2010 (I mistakenly said 2009 in the video) and after some initial trouble with setup with old versions of the Automap software, have been using it extensively. The keyboard version also has transport buttons and 8 drum pads, plus 25 or 49 synth action keys with aftertouch. Both the desktop and keyboard versions feature 8 touch-sensitive rotary encoders, and 8 buttons for custom mapping to your software. The Nocturn by Novation is a USB controller for plugins, MIDI, and DAW mixer (HUI). ![]() ![]() ![]() DCEP utilizes “controllable anonymity,” which means, when trading with DCEP, both parties can be anonymous to the public, but the PBoC could still track all trading information in China’s efforts to combat corruption, money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorist financing.While DCEP will first be launched in China’s developed regions, NFC technology could also provide those in remote rural areas without steady internet access or bank accounts with easy access to DCEP DCEP differs from the traditional way of e-payment where a transaction must utilize a third-party intermediary while with DCEP, one may conduct transactions even without the internet or bank account utilizing near-field communication (NFC) technology.Digital currency has a higher level of security against counterfeits.Advantages of a digital currencyĬompared with traditional payment methods, it is expected that China’s DCEP will have the following features and advantages: It is expected that the draft law may become law sometime in 2021.Īs China formulates more laws, regulations, standards, and/or guidelines on digital currency and the circulation and use of DCEP, we will continue to provide updates. The period for accepting public comments ended on November 23, 2020. Moreover, this draft law reiterates that, other than DCEP, there is a wide prohibition on producing and selling of digital tokens in replacement of RMB. The Draft PBoC Law stipulates that RMB includes both physical and digital forms, which provides the legal basis for the issuance of DCEP. In addition, on October 23, 2020, China’s PBoC released the revised draft Law of the People’s Bank of China for solicitation of public comments (“Draft PBoC Law”). The opinion states that China will “strengthen the protection of new rights and interests such as digital currency, online virtual assets, and data.” This opinion begins to afford “digital currency” with some legal protection. Specifically, on July 22, 2020, “digital currency” was cited in an opinion issued by China’s Supreme People’s Court and the National Development and Reform Commission ( Opinion on Providing Judicial Services and Protection for Accelerating the Improvement of the Socialist Market Economic System in the New Era). Fast forward to 2020-in July 2020, the term “digital currency” first appeared in official documents in China. That same year, PBoC formed a digital currency research center. In that same interview, however, he also acknowledged that there was no clear timeline and for a big country like China, it could take 10 years to develop a digital RMB. As early as 2016, the then governor of PBoC announced plans for China to issue a digital RMB. There is currently no existing law regulating DCEP, although the expectation is that China will formulate standards and guidelines for DCEP soon. What are the laws regulating China’s digital currency? DCEP is designed as a replacement of the reserve money system and pegged to the RMB in a 1:1 ratio. It has been issued in small scale by the PBoC in pilot programs but has not yet been formally launched. ![]() What is China’s digital currency?Ĭhina’s digital currency is called Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP)-it is also commonly referred to in China as “e-CNY” or “Digital RMB.” It is the digital form of China’s fiat money. In this article we answer key questions that you may want to know about the digital yuan. Many believe this is another signal that China is actively exploring the internationalization of DCEP. The other shareholders of the joint venture are China’s Cross-border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) and the Payment and Clearing Association of China, both supervised by the PBoC. Interestingly, on January 16, 2021, SWIFT established a joint venture in Beijing with China’s central bank’s, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC), clearing center and its digital currency research institute. More importantly, the launch of DCEP can have significant ramifications on a global scale, as it could reduce China’s reliance on the SWIFT system for international banking and offers the first glimpse of the internationalization of the renminbi (RMB). When DCEP will officially launch in China, there is little doubt that the population can easily adapt to its use. While the concept of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) is not new and many governments around the world are already exploring CBDC and its potential, China’s development and soft launch of DCEP is at a global forefront. The Chinese government has now taken a large leap in financial technology and is poised to launch its digital currency called Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP or “digital yuan”). In 2020, cashless transactions amounted to US$49 trillion, accounting for every four out of five payment transactions. China is operating increasingly on a cashless basis. ![]() ![]() The Mississippi River at Fort Ripley peaked at 12.14 feet Thursday - almost 2 feet above flood stage - and has since leveled off at 11.7 feet and is expected to stay at that level into the weekend. ![]() It’s just kind of a wait and see kind of thing at this point.” But once we get out beyond that and the temperatures start coming back up, we may see that curve switch direction again. “At this point, we’re on a decreasing trend and that continues out through the seven day period of the forecast, for the time being. “So we’re kind of running this first surge through but it’s entirely possible when we warm up again we could see the river rise, perhaps not as high as it is now, but I wouldn’t say this is the absolute peak for the spring,” Huyck said. While rain expected Wednesday night into the weekend isn’t expected to have a big impact on river levels, a potential warmup next week could. My question is, after I drive it aggressively (meaning using 2nd and 3rd gear and their VVT-i range constantly), how bad does the engine wear Can I drive it like so or should I not push the car too often Lets say I do about 25 minutes of 'intense' driving per day (combined not constant). Huyck said the forecast for receding water on the Mississippi River comes with an asterisk. So I have a 2000 Celica GT with 125.XXX miles. Guida also discouraged people from driving in flooded areas, especially dirt roads covered with water, as doing so can cause damage to the roadway. ![]() In all, the team filled about 1,000 sandbags. When the call came into the team Friday to help sandbag around the store, Syrsted said they decided to make it the team’s practice for the day. Coach Brian Syrsted said two players on his team are related to the owners of Hudrlik Carpets in Aitkin, which is located near the flooded Ripple River, which flows into the Mississippi River in Aitkin. Helping with sandbagging efforts in Aitkin was the Crosby-Ironton Rangers baseball team. There’s some people with wet basements, people with a little damage, but a lot of people are very resilient and they’re OK with it here.” … It looks like we’re going to get three to four days of crest, and then it's going to start to drop. The weather prediction yesterday showed the river was going to drop a lot faster. “The people who wanted to throw the sandbags out have the sandbags and they’ve done it so now it’s kind of a waiting game. ![]() ![]() Players will always have seven tiles during the game. Once tiles are played on the board, players will draw new tiles to replace those. Play continues in a clockwise direction around the Scrabble board. All players following will build their words off of this word, extending the game to other squares on the board. The star is a double square and will offer a double word score. When the game begins, the first player will place their word on the star spin in the centre of the board. If any player passes two times in a row, the game will end and the one with the highest score will win. They will forfeit that turn and hope to be able to play the next time. After tiles are exchanged, the turn is over and players will have to wait until their next turn to place a word on the board. When a player chooses to exchange tiles, they can choose to exchange one or all of the tiles they currently hold. In most cases, players will try to place a word as the other two options will result in no score. The player can place a word, they can exchange tiles for new tiles or they can choose to pass. The tiles are them replaced to the bag and used in the remainder of the game.Įvery player will start their turn by drawing seven tiles from the Scrabble bag. A blank tile will wi n the start of the game. The player that has the letter that is closest to “A” will begin the game. Without looking at any of the tiles in the bag, players will take one tile. If a player places a word here, it cannot be used as a multiplier by placing another word on the same square. One Single Use - When using the extra point squares on the board, they can only be used one time. These are found on all four sides of the board and are equidistant from the corners. Placing any word on these squares will boos points drastically. Triple Word Score - The dark red square is where the high points can be earned as this will triple the word score. ![]() ![]() When a word is placed on these squares, the entire value of the word will be doubled. Triple Letter Score - The dark blue cell in the board will be worth triple the amount, so any tile placed here will earn more points.ĭouble Word Score - When a cell is light red in colour, it is a double word cell and these run diagonally on the board, towards the four corners. Some squares will also multiply the total value of the word and not just the single point value of one tile.ĭouble Letter Scores - The light blue cells in the board are isolated and when these are used, they will double the value of the tile placed on that square. Should a tile be placed on these squares, the value of the tile will be multiplied by 2x or 3x. When looking at the board, players will see that some squares offer multipliers. Tile Valuesīelow are the point values for each letter that is used in a Scrabble game.ġ Point - A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T and U. When a blank is played, it will remain in the game as the letter it substituted for.ĭifferent letters in the game will have various point values and this will depend on how rare the letter is and how difficult it may be to lay that letter. There are 2 blank tiles that can be used as wild tiles to take the place of any letter. There are 100 tiles that are used in the game and 98 of them will contain letters and point values. ![]() The tiles used on the game will fit in each cell on the board.

They save Buzz, and Veloci’s truck sinks into a lake, leaving him to hike miles to the nearest pay phone or spend hours in the cold waiting for another ride to show up. Veloci goes dino to stop them from saving Buzz but only shows how horribly unbalanced the show is when Max casually tosses the archvillain aside. The guy driving the truck is surprised for some reason when they run into four more dinos in the road even though they were hoping to go home with an even bigger haul. Moynihan turns the tables by pretending to be one of his security people who’ve spotted more dinosaurs nearby to get his location (why would security call him about that?). Buzz leaves to save “her” from this “raptor,” and Veloci gloats “If he won’t lead me to him, I’ll lead him to me.” Thank you, we got it. ![]() Kittery Point, where the kids live, is a real place after all.
