3): Fig.3 - Pianoteq 6 - Microphone recording simulation This vast choice is very accurate in order to obtain the preferred shot and the optimal environment for one's productions (Fig. The level of meticulousness of the developers is really high if we consider that there is even the possibility of choosing type, number e brand of microphones as well as the recovery dosage of each of them. By clicking on the microphone icon it is possible to simulate the microphone recording by placing virtual microphones around the piano. In the central window it is possible to select the type of audio output: sound recording, monaural, stereo and binaural as well as being able to control the level of dynamics and general volume. The first window concerns the production of sound and allows the manipulation of the dynamics in the parameters of Velocity, Note - off, Pedal and Aftertouch. In particular, the three lower sections grouped under the heading "Output" have been optimized. The interface it has remained basically the same with six sections, although they have been rearranged for better usability. In the standalone version, the virtual keyboard displays the color keys when pressed on the keyboard, same thing for the chords that are detected and displayed. Improvement of the MIDI section in its mapping In the Pianoteq Standard and Pro versions, the tuning section has been enriched with new instruments for special tuning or "microtuning" needs Better compatibility with standards VST 3, ARM ( Linux) and NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) of Native instruments. Thanks to a partnership with Steinway & Sons the timbres of the Steinway Model D e Steinway Model B. We find a wide selection of pianos, electric pianos, historical instruments and chromatic percussion. The physical model of Pianoteq 6 has been significantly improved and the library of modeled instruments has been expanded. On “Age of Audio” we had already enthusiastically reviewed Pianoteq in 2010, but several improvements and updates have been made in the audio engine since then.īriefly, they can be summarized in the following points: The fundamental advantage of this technology is that Pianoteq, compared to sampling-based virtual instruments, uses less disk space and is therefore perfect even for computers with average performance. The physical model behind the audio engine is the result of research by a team of academics from the Institute of Toulose mathematics (Modartt). What makes it interesting Pianoteq 6 compared to other virtual instruments is that the instruments have been physically modeled thus allowing a better simulation of the playability and real behavior of the acoustic instruments. What matters is obviously the tonal quality and therefore I attach some audio examples at the bottom of the article so that the reader can get an idea. Personally I do not enter the debate with a straight leg as there are now many valid products on the market and personal aspects in the use of one or another software also weigh. On the one hand there are supporters of sampled libraries with multiple points of dynamics, on the other hand those who use physical model software. When you are talking about virtual instrument there are basically two schools of thought on the piano. The Pianoteq virtual instrument is now in its sixth version, available in VST, AAX and Audio unit and stand alone versions (PC, Mac and Linux) with a vast library of keyboard instruments for every audio production need.

To rival the best, the Ugee 21 levels of pressure sensitivity, a 1920x1080 display resolution over a 21.5 inch screen with really nice viewing angles, a really responsive pen with no noticeable lag, and has a VGA, DVI-I, and HDMI port. Remember, graphics tablets and tablet monitors are accessories to desktops/laptops, and cannot work on their own! If you want to draw on an independently-operating tablet, consider investing in a Microsoft Surface Pro 3, or a Cintiq Companion (different from a regular Cintiq!). A tablet monitor is an LCD monitor with graphics tablet technology built inside, so you can draw directly on this monitor with the included stylus! So, it can replace your computer mouse, and lets you make digital art with increased precision. Instead, the most basic graphics tablets (like Wacom’s Intuos and Intuos Pro) are plastic surfaces that you plug into your computer and maps the location of your stylus to the location of the mouse cursor on your desktop. They don’t have built-in operative systems that you can interact with independently. If you’re new at this: a graphics tablet is NOT like an iPad, Android tablet, or a Surface Pro. If the terms graphics tablet, Wacom, Intuos and Cintiq are already familiar to you, then skip to the next section. Nobody’s heard of Ugee but you shouldn’t have to worry especially if you buy from Amazon. Looks exactly like the Huion GT-220, but with a different adjustment stand, and better drivers in my opinion. Full HD screen, great viewing angles, nice size. It works as well as a Cintiq, but has no buttons, glass screen, some parallax. I’ll try to make this review as clear as possible for those who are completely new to the world of graphics tablets, those who are familiar with Wacom’s products, and even those who are familiar with other Cintiq alternatives.Ī bit about me: I have experience with Wacom’s Graphire and Bamboo graphics tablets (now discontinued) and I’ve used a Cintiq 21UX, as well as “off-brand” alternatives like the Huion GT-190S and the Yiynova MVP22U v3 (sheesh, what a mouthful).Įxcellent buy. This is a review of the Ugee 2150, which is a “tablet monitor,” also called a pen display tablet, a screen tablet, or simply a Wacom Cintiq alternative.

Although he was not the first vocalist to rap over these beats, Tego Calderon was among the most lyrical and therefore most widely embraced in New York and beyond. But reggaeton proper was really created by mixtape DJs like DJ Playero, DJ Negro, and DJ Nelson who chopped up a handful of reggae riddims including “Dem Bow” and “Fever Pitch” into their own homemade party breaks. Spanish reggae was arguably introduced to the island of Puerto Rico by Ellis and the stable of Panamanian artists he worked with, who toured throughout Latin America. Hip-hop and house were in fact secret ingredients of the reggaeton sound even before it had a name, a fusion that happened in New York as much as Panama or Puerto Rico (and in fact, another of El General’s biggest hits is the house-tempo “Boriqua Anthem” - the official unofficial anthem of New York’s Puerto Rican Day Parade). New York–based Panamanian-American producer Michael Ellis created the spare rhythm track from an echoey synthesized horn loop that more naturally suggests an early ’90s Nuyorican house track, but chopped up into a reggae pattern. A much more modest hit for El General, the untranslatable “Buduff Kun-Kun” is nevertheless a prime early example of how Panamanian dancehall could cease to be simply reggae en Espanól and become its own thing. “Teves Buena” (“You Look Good”) - an improvised lyric over a Jamaican riddim created by Steelie & Clevie - was one of his biggest hits, and more or less established the template for reggaeton as an original art form (See also “ Pu Tun Tun”). Franco was the most prolific and original MC of reggae en Espanól in the late ’80s and early ’90s. If any artist besides El General can claim to be the godfather of reggaeton, it’s his fellow Panamanian El General, born Edgardo Franco. The resulting composition “Ellos Benia” is best described as prehistoric reggaeton. Fernando Brown) and his Jamaican-born producer Phillip Smart reverse engineered Steely & Clevie’s original beat for Shabba into a minimal, timbales-heavy version of the dancehall track. Recorded in Long Island’s HC&F studios, Nando Boom (b. One of these cover version/translations - of Shabba Ranks’ homophobic/anti-colonialist “Dem Bow” - is so foundational that throughout the Latin Caribbean “dembow” has become the accepted name of the marching-tempo dancehall rhythm that anchors the genre. Though Panama has its own long tradition of Afro-diasporic dance music, the love for reggae is a relic of the massive labor force that migrated from Jamaica and other islands circa 1903 to construct the Panama Canal. Before there was reggaeton, there was reggae en Espanól - a wave of Panamanian records that, as the name implies, mainly translated Jamaican boom tunes directly into Spanish to create local hits. What sort of side effects the shot will have remain to be seen but, if nothing else, let’s take the ubiquity of “Despacito” as a good excuse for a brief history lesson of the sound and its essential tunes, not to mention the different dance cultures that have fed it, from Panama to Jamaica to, um, Bollywood. Mostly centered in Puerto Rico (and New York) the reggaeton sound has, for the most part, been bubbling along off the radar of pop culture since the last time Daddy Yankee cracked the charts circa 2005. Leaving aside the profound question of whether this pop-chart diversity could somehow be a counterweight to an emboldened nativist movement afoot in the streets, it has definitely been a shot in the arm for reggaeton, the Latin Caribbean’s particular take on dancehall reggae. By late July, it was the most streamed song of all time. In May of this year Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” became the first Spanish-language hit to crack the No. Photo-Illustration: Maya Robinson/Vulture and Photos by Getty Images To offer you more flexible and diverse options, we’ve created this customizable PowerPoint timeline slide along with an entire collection of other professionally-designed timeline templates.

And the last is the final zone, and I can’t remember what it’s called. You can play any special stages you’ve completed it here. One of the zones is the special stage zone, which can only be unlocked by completling the first special stage. Four of them are the main zones, and each of them consist of three acts and a boss. Something else is the incredibly short length. But in this game, it teaches you that spin dashing up a wall makes you go slower, and therefore lower. Something else that’s wrong with his spin dash is that in the old games, they taught you that spin dashing up a wall made you go faster and therefore higher. You will notice this as soon as you start Gree- sorry, Splash Hill Zone.Īnother thing, that’s not as noticable (mainly because you won’t do it), is the fact that when you spin dash off an edge, Sonic will lose all his momentum, and plummet straight down, as if gravity just suddenly intensified. In Sonic 4 he takes a while to get his momentum going. In the original game, as soon as you pushed right, Sonic shot off. It’s the fact that he takes a while to get up to that speed. And no it’s not to do with his homing attack or his green eyes. However it’s not as if it doesn’t have flaws. And the amazing thing about it? It offcially sucked before it was released! Nah only joking, but the amount of moaning from fans that it wasn’t 16 bit, and that Sonic had his homing attack was just over the top! Sonic 4 is a good game! Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1!Īfter 16 years, the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has arrived. So here’s my review for the first Episode of Sonic 4. Due to the fact that I have reactions as quick as an unconscious sloth, I’ve only just realised that the release of the Sonic 4 Episode 2 Teaser Trailer, is a good excuse- I mean reason, for me to upload another review that’s just sitting around on my computer. In another film, from a different storytelling tradition, perhaps, this would cue up some tragic love affair. Lonely despite her friendship with the beautiful, adventurous Leilia (Ai Kayano), Maquia is cautioned by the tribal Elder that she will be lonelier still if she ever falls in love with an outsider, as she will be destined to vastly outlive her partner. They are also blessed/cursed with extreme longevity, and Maquia, at 15, is as old as she is ever going to look. Maquia is a timid 15-year-old hailing from the Clan of the Separated, AKA the Iolph, an ancient enclave of blond-haired mystics who weave Hibiol, a fine, translucent cloth that marks the passage of time and contains messages only other Iolph can read. It is exquisite in every way - sometimes almost too exquisite in its precious sensitivity to the hardships of life as an outcast single mother - but against such intricate magic-hour backdrops, the only thing not beautiful here is the ugly-cry its devastating, happy-sad finale induces. “Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms” is the directorial debut of prolific and successful anime screenwriter Mari Okada (“Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day”), and though set in a medieval-styled, distinctly “Game of Thrones”-esque fantasy world of dying dragons, imprisoned princesses, warring kingdoms, and mystical cloth into which is woven the stories of our lives, the trembling, overflowing heart of the film is a story of motherhood, self-sacrifice, and forgiveness that is informed by Okada’s own fraught relationship with her mother. But mother or no, it’s a promise any viewer of this gorgeously rendered, acutely sentimental animated phantasmagoria would be foolhardy to make. “I’m a mother!” she says, beating her fist lightly against her belly in a gesture of defiance that makes the boy smile. “I won’t cry, I promise,” vows the ethereal, long-living Maquia (voiced by Manaka Iwami) to the little mortal boy she is raising as her son.

It offers an excellent opportunity to relive a classic RTS with improved graphics and gameplay. Still, the 0.8 version of the mod is compatible with all versions of Starcraft 2. Some may also be disappointed to hear that Starcraft: Mass Recall does not support multiplayer and it’s unclear if there are plans to implement such a feature in the future. Purists may or may not approve of such changes, but the mod team feels they were necessary to make it balanced and enjoyable. Those who watch the action and have active Blizzard accounts linked to their Twitch account are eligible to receive special drops. Mass Recall splits the difference by giving the UED faction better medics to reflect their technological superiority. StarCraft IIs WCS Global Finals 2018 will air live on Twitch. In the original game, they were unique to a specific faction. For example, the original developers balanced Starcraft 2 around all factions having access to medics. Instead, the team has made numerous small adjustments to balance the gameplay and maintain consistent lore. The goal has never been to perfectly recreate the original StarCraft experience. According to the FAQ, the mod is closer to a remake than a remaster. The mod project apparently began from the simple desire to use Brood War units in Starcraft 2 and grew from there. Mass Recall seeks to bring these improvements to the original game and the Brood War expansion. These included an improved user interface, the ability to queue up multiple orders at once, and various other adjustments to the game mechanics. Starcraft was still a game from 1998, and the sequel had brought many quality-of-life changes. The most popular games on Twitch and their statistics. I wont take broodwar seriously anymore, and I feel pretty bummed about it.While many fans were pleased with the remaster, others felt that the gameplay hadn’t aged well. StarCraft Remastered viewers, channels & stats. If you have limited knowledge to the game or not at all, just buy remastered version on a sale and play the remastered campaign, play couple of matches with your pal, try the ladder for a few times, and move on with your life. Just be thankful that Starcraft remastered turned out to be at least a decent remaster of its glorious counterpart. (I dont think anyone would make an easy to play against AI with BWAPI anymore) Hell, even the old players now prefer to watch rather than play(due to less time or a wrist injury I guess)Īn ai could definitely allow new players to get familiar with the game and stick around, but do you really expect nuBlizzard to do anything good these days for its fanbase? Personally, I even gave up hope on the 2v2 let alone an advanced AI that they dont even have it in their-to-do-list. Thankfully lots of starcraft players are offering to help the newbs, but one must ask himself first if its worth spending a big chunk of his time to learn how to play a game this hard and catch up with the community, when its active playerbase shrinks every day. These low numbers indicate that fair competition is nonviable.ĩ0% of newcomers gave up playing broodwar due to the smurfs and the insanely huge skill gap that exists, and the training method to become good is a no-fun, archaic process that probably requires another person that has some knowledge. Starcraft’s is a no-man’s-land for casual players that want to play&learn and only a few players with tons of experience are still playing. Stream to Twitch, Youtube, Facebook, and more at once to expand your reach and grow. If you dont have a 10+years of ingame experience already, then Im afraid there is no easy place for you here.

To add to the Mirror Mode's difficulty is that Donkey Kong only has one heart, which makes it harder to survive. In Mirror Mode, players can't use inventory items, nor can players use Diddy Kong. The treasure found in that temple is a mirror, which unlocks Mirror Mode. If the Kongs get all the pearls from the eight temples, they'll have access to this temple and its secrets. Then you have to jump on the moles who come out of the carts, kinda like whack-a-mole. You have to avoid the pickaxes being thrown at you until the your cart gets caught up with the Mole Train. He is hypnotized by the tiki boss and all the other moles help. Afterwards, a Golden Temple will appear on the island. Located deep in the caves, the Mole Train is lead by Mole Miner Max. After going through a tough fight, the Kongs prevail, and they retrieve their Banana Hoard along the way. After traveling through various parts of Donkey Kong Island, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong soon encounter the leader of the Tiki Tak Tribe, Tiki Tong. Donkey Kong reunites himself with Diddy Kong and the two apes head off to the Tiki Island to recover their precious bananas. Donkey Kong breaks his front door open and immediately sets off for adventure. Donkey Kong stares at the Tiki and kicks him out of his house. Luckily, the Kongs seem immune to the Tikis' mind powers. Under their control, Donkey Kong is robbed of his Banana Hoard. For unknown purposes, the Tikis hypnotize the local wildlife ranging from elephants, giraffes, zebras and squirrels by using their music to bring them every Banana in sight. One peaceful day, the volcano of Donkey Kong Island erupts and reawakens the Tiki Tak Tribe from their slumber. 6.8 Volcano (Donkey Kong Country Returns).6.7 Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns).6.6 Cliff (Donkey Kong Country Returns).6.5 Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns).6.3 Ruins (Donkey Kong Country Returns).They appear in all worlds of the Donkey Kong Island.
