Pretty simple question for those who own Age of Steam (Eagle Gryphon deluxe version). How many additional map boards can the base box accommodate? (I say "map boards" since some boards have 2 maps, some have 3...)

For example if I buy the base game + Expansion Volume I, will that all fit? Or more, or fewer? I'm one of those people who likes to ditch expansion boxes and store things all in one box.

Thanks!

I recently saw a poster using the typeface "Lithos Bold". When I saw the sign I immediately recognized the font, and thought to myself "hey, that looks just like the font in the logo for... something." But what? I could not remember.

Example of Lithos Bold

I'm thinking it's a brand logo of some kind, but I have no idea in what category. Things it might be:

  • A restaurant

  • A TV show

  • A toy, video game, etc

  • A movie

  • A sports team

When I think of this font it makes me think of something related to jungles, deserts, wilderness, animals, adventure. But that could be a red herring.

EDIT: In case it helps, here's the poster that prompted the

My Digitakt is on version 1.10, and I have Elektron Transfer version 1.1 installed on my computer.

I can get Transfer on the computer to connect to the Digitakt, and I am able to upgrade the OS, and transfer samples from one to the other. But how do I do a sysex dump to back up the whole project? According to Elektron this capability came with version 1.08 of the Digitakt but I've never attempted to do it until now.

I've found what I think is the right menu in the Digitakt to do this (Settings > Sysex Dump >Sysex Send) but I don't know how to get Transfer to prepare to receive the Sysex file for my project.

Probably something simple I'm missing, but Elektron doesn't make this stuff

Title says it all, I think. I'm looking for advice on how to streamline and simplify setting up your rig for live shows.

For clarification, I (am going to) play synths in a band; I'm not an "electronic artist" per se. So the kind of gigs I'm talking about are the ones with like 4-5 bands, 40 minutes each, 10 minutes between sets. Typical "local indie band" type gigs. So quick setup is key.

My rig is going to consist of a poly, a mono, a drum machine, a couple pedals, a MIDI keyboard and a small mixer. My basic idea is to have all the smaller things (everything but the poly) velcroed, pre-wired, and all plugged in on a pedalboard-esque thing, or in a road case, with a power strip in it. (I

It's a four-panel comic set up like this.

Panel 1: Girl and guy enter through the front door, late at night, they are drunk.

Panel 2: They're taking their clothes off to get ready for some fun. Girl is lying on the bed. Guy notices something off-panel.

Panel 3: Close-up of counter/table/mantel with ____ on it. I don't know what the item is in the original--it's photoshopped to be different every time.

Panel 4: The guy is walking outside with a scarf on as the girl calls out to him from her window to come back. Implication is that he didn't like the thing on the table and doesn't want her anymore.

Currently I'm using the Digitakt as a sequencer for my Minilogue. I'm making heavy use of the feature of sending program changes via MIDI, so the Digitakt tells the Minilogue to change program via MIDI when different patterns kick in. This works fine for the sections where I'm having the Digitakt send note data to the Minilogue, but I have some sections where I want to play the Minilogue manually (improv). In other words, I need it to stop sending note data while still sending program change values so the patch changes during my solo.

For those sections, can I get the Digitakt to send JUST the program change data without it being attached to a note value?

It seems like it should be as simp

As the title suggests--what are the stock tone and volume pots that the AVRI 1965 jazzmaster comes with?

Judging by how it sounds to me, I think at least the volume is linear. To my ears it doesn't sound like a smooth taper--volume jumps quickly from 0-2 (on the knob) and from there on as I turn it up there's little change.

I do not want this behavior--I want 50% volume to be 5 on the knob. Should I switch to an audio taper?

There's a particular Japanese musician whose videos I've seen linked to on reddit.

I'm fairly certain he's currently active, or from the 2000s. The music videos were fairly modern.

He's a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, keys, and singing at the very least. He may even be playing every instrument on his albums.

The genre of music was rock with a slight jazz fusion twist, from what I remember. Sorry that's a bit vague. Maybe a bit of prog rock, with a hint of vaporwave or similar electronic subgengre. Definitely nothing close to punk or indie rock.

Looks-wise, I recall him being a bit chubby. Maybe with a bit of a beard/goatee? Short hair. I think he wore glasses or sunglasses.

A question for Mustang PJ Bass owners. How long is the whole instrument, from tip of the headstock to the heel of the body? I'm having trouble googling this question; everything just keeps telling me the scale length.

I'm asking for bag/case shopping purposes.

Feet and meters (and inches, and light years, etc.) are all units used to measure distance. Kilograms and pounds both measure weight. Seconds, years, and days all measure the passage of time. These sets of units are all ____. How can I express this?

Is there a specific word or phrase that is used to describe units like this? An adjective along the lines of "analogous" or "comparable"? Or perhaps a noun.

I want to use it in a sentence like "kilowatt-hours, megajoules, and BTU are all _____ units used to express the amount of electricity generated"

I used to a lot of pit for musicals in high school and college through my schools, through youth/community theater companies, and once or twice for professional shows. I've probably played a couple dozen shows over the years. I haven't done any of that stuff since college, but it just occurred to me it might be a fun thing to do to keep up my chops.

I mainly play electric guitar (and have all my own gear for that) but also have experience doing pit on electric bass, banjo, ukelele, and percussion.

Any ideas for where to look? If I can make a little cash doing this, so much the better, but it would mainly be for fun.

I am looking closely at the Smallsound/Bigsound Mini. It is often described as "tweedy" and "straddling the border between OD and fuzz". That sounds great to me. I like the two-band EQ. And I really like what the demos showcase of its bias knob, and the great noisy starved sounds you can get. That's a huge selling point. But a frustrating thing is that the demos don't really show what it sounds like on "conventional" settings, and they don't seem to play normal riffs and chords through it either. Based on word of mouth and descriptions on Reddit, TGP, etc., the Mini seems like it should be what I want, but I can't really tell.

Anyway, in my attempt to get a sense of what "tweedy OD/fuzz"
