In part one of a three part tutorial on Moog's Animoog iPad app, Dubspot Instructor Matt Celletti shows you how to get to the initial state, so you can begin to understand how this powerful synth works. Leave it up to Moog to produce the finest synthesizer app on iOS. The legendary company best known for their iconic hardware has also created the finest example of what an iOS app should be: visually interesting, great sounding, and a ton of fun. I find myself being inspired by this unique take on synthesis every time I sit down with it, thanks to the intuitive controls and fascinating X/Y pad. We have so many choices available in the form of hardware and software synths these days, and yet, I find myself often starting out with Animoog to get the creative juices flowing. One thing I have noticed about this app is that it may be quite complex for new users to fully understand. Given the low introductory price of this app, I'm sure a lot of would-be synthesists began playing with it only to get frustrated by the synth's architecture. In Part 1 of this three part tutorial, I explain how to break the instrument down to it's most basic form. This is commonly referred to as initializing. When we start to look at the synth from the absolute initial state, it is much easier to comprehend. The following tutorials are an explanation of Animoog's parameters and how to create usable sounds by learning the fundamentals of this wonderful instrument. - Matt Celletti Related Dubspot .... + Informações

facebook.com ... Professor Stephen Hawking asks some Big Questions about our universe: How did the universe begin? How did life begin? Are we alone? And he discusses how we might go about answering them. Stephen Hawking's scientific investigations have shed light on the origins of the cosmos, the nature of time and the ultimate fate of universe. His bestselling books for a general audience have given an appreciation of physics to millions. --- Please subscribe to Science & Reason: ? www.youtube.com ? www.youtube.com ? www.youtube.com ? www.youtube.com --- "We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special." (Stephen Hawking) There is nothing bigger or older than the universe. Your questions I would like to talk about are: One, where did we come from? How did the universe come into being? Are we alone in the universe? Is there alien life out there? What is the future of the human race? Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time. Then it was discovered that the universe was expanding. Distant galaxies were moving away from us. This meant they must have been closer together in the past. If we extrapolate back, we find we must have all been on top of each other about 15 billion years ago. This was the Big Bang, the beginning of the universe. But was there anything before the Big Bang? If not, what created the universe .... + Informações

Check us out at www.tutorvista.com A Carnot heat engine is a hypothetical engine that operates on the reversible Carnot cycle. The basic model for this engine was developed by Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot in 1824. The Carnot engine model was graphically expanded upon by Benoît Paul Émile Clapeyron in 1834 and mathematically elaborated upon by Rudolf Clausius in the 1850s and 60s from which the concept of entropy emerged. Every thermodynamic system exists in a particular state. A thermodynamic cycle occurs when a system is taken through a series of different states, and finally returned to its initial state. In the process of going through this cycle, the system may perform work on its surroundings, thereby acting as a heat engine. A heat engine acts by transferring energy from a warm region to a cool region of space and, in the process, converting some of that energy to mechanical work. The cycle may also be reversed. The system may be worked upon by an external force, and in the process, it can transfer thermal energy from a cooler system to a warmer one, thereby acting as a refrigerator or heat pump rather than a heat engine. In the adjacent diagram, from Carnot's 1824 work, Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire, there are "two bodies A and B, kept each at a constant temperature, that of A being higher than that of B. These two bodies, to which we can give or from which we can remove the heat without causing their temperatures to vary, exercise the functions of two .... + Informações

In Stephen Hawking's essay "Is Everything Determined?" he discusses his thoughts on how things are determined in society. Arguments arose in recent times that determinism has been based on science. It almost seems as if a set of laws exist that govern how the universe develops in time. Hawking states that there should be a set of laws that determines the evolution of the universe from its initial state and God may have ordained these laws. Hawking's first problem is that a grand unified theory determines everything in the universe by mathematical terms, since an equation is very simple it should account for the theory of everything. The second problem with the idea of everything being determined by a grand unified theory is that anything anyone says would also be determined the theory. The third problem with that idea of with the idea a grand unified theory would be that everyone feels as if they have free will and they have the freedom to choose whether to do something, but it is argued that if everything is determined by laws of science, than free will must be just an illusion.. + Informações

More info - bit.ly In part two of a three-part tutorial on Moog's Animoog iPad app, Dubspot Instructor Matt Cellitti shows you how to creatively use Animoog's modulation parameters to achieve complex sounds. Now that we have looked at how to break down Animoog into a basic initial state, I would like to examine the instrument's creative options to make more complex sounds. Animoog has a clearly labeled and easy to use modulation area, allowing us to add several modulation parameters to the sound at the same time. We are able to use traditional modulation sources like mod envelopes, filter envelopes, and low frequency oscillators, but there are some hidden gems in here as well. For instance, take control of the Touch Keys to manipulate sounds in ways a traditional keyboard is incapable of. By using the the modulation control of "poly-pressure" to manipulate a destination of filter frequency, the areas of the touch key will activate modulation of the filter's cutoff frequency. So you can create filter sweeps just by moving your fingers up and down a single touch key. Furthermore, as if the path and origin controls of the X/Y pad weren't enough, you can use mod controls to effect these parameters even further. It never ceases to amaze me how much flexible control this app has. - Matt Celletti. + Informações

www.facebook.com Noam Chomsky, is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, and social activist. He is an Institute Professor and professor emeritus of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Chomsky is well known in the academic and scientific community as one of the fathers of modern linguistics, and a major figure of analytic philosophy. Since the 1960s, he has become known more widely as a political dissident and an anarchist, referring to himself as a libertarian socialist. Chomsky is the author of more than 150 books and has received worldwide attention for his views. In the 1950s, Chomsky began developing his theory of generative grammar, which has undergone numerous revisions and has had a profound influence on linguistics. His approach to the study of language emphasizes "an innate set of linguistic principles shared by all humans" known as universal grammar, "the initial state of the language learner," and discovering an "account for linguistic variation via the most general possible mechanisms."[9] He elaborated on these ideas in 1957's Syntactic Structures, which then laid the groundwork for the concept of transformational grammar. He also established the Chomsky hierarchy, a classification of formal languages in terms of their generative power. In 1959, Chomsky published a widely influential review of BF Skinner's theoretical book Verbal Behavior. In this review and other writings, Chomsky broadly and aggressively challenged .... + Informações

The player's goal is simply to find the enchanted chalice and return it to the gold castle. The player character, represented by a square, explores a multi-screen landscape containing castles, mazes, and various rooms. Hidden throughout the world are a sword, keys to unlock each of the three castles (gold, black, and white), a magic bridge which allows the player to travel through a wall, and a magnet which will pull any of these objects toward it. Roaming the world are three dragons: Yorgle, the yellow dragon: He is afraid of the golden key and will run away from it. He guards the chalice when he can find it; otherwise he wanders around or helps the other dragons guard their possessions. Grundle, the green dragon: He guards the magnet, the bridge, the black key, and the chalice. Rhindle, the red dragon: He is the fastest of the three and the most aggressive. He guards the white key and chalice. Here the player (top right) is carrying the Sword, and Rhindle (middle) is guarding the chalice (left). A dragon can be "killed" by touching it with the sword. If the console's right difficulty switch is in the "A" position, the dragons will run away when they see the sword. When a dragon touches the player, it will "strike" (remaining motionless for a moment with its mouth open, waiting for a shorter time if the console's left difficulty switch is in the "A" position) and then "swallow" the player, who becomes trapped in the dragon's belly. While the dragon's mouth is opened, it .... + Informações

In September, the European Union banned the sale of 100-watt incandescent light bulbs, with lawbreakers facing up to $70000 in fines. Over the next few years, bans on lower-wattage bulbs kick in. In the United States, similar legislation comes into play in 2012. The idea is to kickstart the market for compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), which use less energy than conventional incandescents. Although CFLs present any number of problems (even beyond a much higher initial cost), governments all over the globe are determined to make them the new standard. Invented in its modern form by Thomas Edison in 1879, the light bulb became synonymous with a brilliant idea. Now, it seems, it's just one more symbol of a nanny state that increasingly dictates more choices in our public and private lives.
