  First of all, thank you very much for doing this walkthrough of the mixer! This video helped me in deciding to pick one up and I'm VERY happy with it! One thing I noticed though...I don't believe the 'Monitor Out' output works the way you described in this video (unless I misunderstood something). You do not have to select PFL to get the channel to send to 'Monitor Out'.

  Thanks for your comment. I am happy to hear you found it useful enough that it helped you decide on getting one. I'm still loving mine and haven't felt the need to upgrade to something more fancy. You are indeed right. You don't have to select PFL to get something to monitor out, but once you do press PFL, what you get on monitor out, headphones, and VU meter will be what is selected with PFL.

  There were two references to the android animals in the film. First Rachel says that the owl that flew in the Tyrell headquarters was "incredibly expensive". Then Deckert asks Zhora if the snake is real, upon which she replies something like "If I could afford a snake, I would not have to work in a place like this." So although there is no reference to the electronic sheep, those electric animals have a place in the film.

• 
  @hakonsoreide7 күн бұрын

  Thanks for your comment, and for pointing those things out. I wasn't thinking so much of references to electronic animals at all as I was specifically talking about Deckard's relationship with them, and the culture around animals that gives it context. In fact, one could even argue that the film goes somewhat against the context created in the book by pointing out the fact that the owl is very expensive when the idea in the book is that it's real animals that are expensive and electronic ones are relatively cheap in comparison. That is somewhat rectified in the mention of the snake, but that also makes it somewhat inconsistent. Not only that, but in the book, Deckard is actually led to believe the owl is real in the parallel to the conversation in the film, so it is very different. An electronic owl would be expensive. A real owl would be unique and priceless. I don't think they could have fit in Deckard's electric sheep without making the film far too long, and also it might have taken focus away from what was considered the core narrative when the film was made.

  Is it possible to get midi notes below A0 (21) out of the sequencer? I'm trying to control another device that will only respond to midi notes 1 to 8. The Zoia seemed like the perfect solution but the lowest note it's capable of appears to be A0 (21). Apparently the scale was extended down to 1, in one of the firmware updates (1.13?) but I have latest firmware and still seem to be limited to A0.

• 
  @hakonsoreide7 күн бұрын

  Thanks for your very good question. We discussed this on Facebook, but in case anyone else reads the comments here and wondered the same thing, it appears that, at the moment at least, Zoia can not send out a MIDI note value of less than 21 even if it can process other note values as inputs or internally, and it's an unfortunate shortcoming that may not be relevant to most people, but if you wish to use the Zoia to control things like key switches, it is potentially an annoying limitation. We can only hope it is something that will be addressed in future firmware updates as Empress continues their excellent support of the Zoia and the community that surrounds it.

•

  @@hakonsoreide A quick update on this. The very helpful Customer Service team at Empress got back to me and confirmed that Zoia can currently only output down to midi note 21. They've asked the Design team to look into either a workaround (although, I don't belive there is one), or to extend the midi notes range down to C-2 with the next firmware release. It's really great to see how responsive and accomodating they are to such requests. Thank you!

  Thanks for another lovely comment. Who needs commas? They are sometimes overrated. A bit of sentence ambiguity from missing punctuation can sometimes be refreshing, and can even generate multiple potential meanings that can all be true at the same time. I suppose the gaming concept of fumbles and critical hits is something that was rather a fresh idea at the time. Now it is pretty standard in many games, but someone had to come up with it the first time, and it certainly wasn't in early versions of D&D/AD&D or gamebooks contemporary with the early days of those RPG systems.

  Could one say that Zeus himself was full of hubris since he also killed his father, Chronos?

• 
  @hakonsoreide28 күн бұрын

  Normally, hubris would simply not apply to the gods and their actions, but as a sort of parallel to the interaction between humanity and the divine that hubris usually refers to, it was actually Chronos that displayed hubris in that story. He was told that it was his destiny to be killed by his children, and to prevent that he was eating them as they were born. While I am not familiar with the exact details, that sounds to me like that triggered Zeus to kill him, thus having all the hallmarks of a traditional story of hubris. Gods, too, are not entirely exempt from the Cosmic order. In Greek mythology, the pantheon of gods don't truly create the order, they simply are participants in it as well as the symbols and enforcers of it.

Yes, I don't know how that keyboard difference between Danish and Norwegian happened. On many pre-war machines, the language-unique letters are in different places, depending on which other special characters they replaced, but once keyboards became standardised, it's rather an odd decision.

  The filters are there because you need them for military use. Red light is particularly useful since the eyes don't lose their night vision when exposed to it, allowing you to use the torch at night when you otherwise want to also be able to see without it immediately afterwards. Using both filters at the same time creates a dim light when you want to use as little as possible to prevent detection. And the colours can be used for light signals where you for instance have agreed that there is a particular meaning of two short red flashes followed by one long green, or any combination of red, white and green, different lengths, or combined with motion. The possibilities to create unique signals are enormous.

  Thank you for such a detailed review! I'm bidding for model 231.3 from 1971 (according to the guarantee cards but the instructions are attached for 231.2) which has a key with 1 and §. It has one piece cover which probably makes it even lighter. By the way, Polish letter "ą" is a bit confusing because it is pronounced as nasal "o", not an "a". Although, there is a single informal exception: some careless speakers say the verb "włANczać" instead of "włączać". The letter Y is quite common in Polish but Z is much more frequent because of digraphs CZ, DZ, RZ, SZ. Letters Q, V and X are used only in loanwords. Some Polish produced typewriters have a key with the currency symbol "zł" for Polish złoty (literally: golden) 🙂

I find languages, linguistics and phonology hugely fascinating, so I appreciate it whenever I learn something new about any language. I actually already know about the meaning of złoty. It is one of those things I picked up coincidentally when I was in Poland and I saw a film poster for the 2015 film "Woman in Gold", which I believe said "Złota dama", and I immediately made the connection with the currency.

However, the writers in the original English versions do slip up sometimes and specify the player character is male when there is no need. These are - Citadel of Chaos where the washer woman ghost calls you "young man," City of Thieves where the thatcher's nephew refers to you as "him," Demons of the Deep where the crew of the Troll all call you "him," Creature of Havoc where Marr is described in talking to the Creature as a father would to his son and Midnight Rogue, although it's the illustrator who slips up - that's you on the cover.
