ronjgrrrrrrrreat01:52
ronjlucky boy01:52
rlameiroyou got the nice stuff01:52
ronjoh by the way, [announce] I recently bought two control surfaces: a Korg nanoKontrol as a portable cheap mixer, and a Behringer FCB1010 as a foot controller for sampling / triggering. if anyone here has similar crap and would like to share tips/advice, would be great01:54
persiaSome BIOS implementations provide user interfaces to enable/disable parts so that folks who don't use stuff can save power.  Often these are end-user adjustable.01:54
holsteincool ronj , you should announce that in #opensourcemusicians01:55
holsteinive seen chatter about that foot controller01:55
ronjholstein, thanks, didn't know this channel, is it on freenode?01:55
holsteinyup01:55
rlameiroronj: I have a FCB1010!!!!01:55
holsteinrlameiro: i bet you were the one chattering about it ;)01:56
ScottLronj, i do not yet, i haven't heard from him but i'll give him a poke though :)01:56
rlameiroholstein: probably01:56
ronjthanks ScottL01:56
rlameiroronj: its a pain in the ass to programm it, but there is some guys that make a firmware for it, and then its way more easy , and you can programm it on your computer :D01:57
ronjrlameiro, yup I just ordered a UnO chip01:57
rlameirolol :D01:58
ronj16euros, fine bugfixing and nice addons, I'm sold01:58

ronjoh you have a FCB1010 too?01:58
rlameiroi love puredata :D01:58
rlameiroyes I have01:58
ronjrlameiro, cool. I'm just discovering it and am fiddling with sooperlooper and rakarrack. do you have interesting software / advice to share?01:59
rlameiroronj: i use it on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNsOtl8ia0k01:59
rlameiroronj: my advice is puredata, but i know that that its not for everyone02:00
