Each sequence comprises multiple flows tens of meters to locally more than 100 meters thick. The broad flanks of Mount Hood cover an area almost 20 km (12.4 mi) in diameter and are formed of numerous sequences of lava flows that were emplaced between about 500,000 to 100,000 years ago.

In contrast to the long-lived activity at Hood, each of these regional volcanoes was active for a relatively short period of time. In addition to Mount Hood, other volcanoes scattered through the nearby area have erupted during the past 500,000 years. ![]() The last two periods of eruptive activity occurred about 1,500 years ago and in the late 18th century. Similar deposits were probably formed in Mount Hood's past but were largely eroded, especially during ice ages, and are poorly represented in the geologic record. Much of the Mount Hood edifice is formed of lava flows, but eruptive activity during the past 30,000 years has been dominated by growth and collapse of near-summit lava domes to produce broad fans of pyroclastic flow deposits. Mount Hood, which has been active for at least 500,000 years, occupies a long-lived focus of volcanic activity that has produced ancestral Hood-like volcanoes for the past 1.5 million years.

This is what you will need to do for BlueBubbles. On most devices, the manufacturer will provide a way to disable battery optimization (memory management) on certain apps. As a result, the BlueBubble's background process has a chance of being killed, and you will not receive notifications. More specifically, the OS employs algorithms to detect which apps are using background memory, and killing them, or just preventing them from starting. You can view the full list of phone manufacturers and their respective "Don't Kill My App" Benchmarks, here. Often times, this is due to your phone manufacturer's OS-specific memory management strategies.

It runs as a VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin on macOS (Intel and native Apple Silicon) and Windows. That would be awesome.Īrturia Acid V is available now for 99€ instead of 199€. And now, dear developers, for example, Roland, please build us a hardware device based on these feature scopes. I like that you can work with various distortions from their Coldfire FX plugin and dive deep into the sequences.Įven if it’s just a minor feature, I like playing with the new sub-oscillator, which makes the whole sound rounder and fatter. But the Acid V is more than just another simple soft recreation. Of course, you can save presets for your sounds and sequences, work with macro controls, and more.Īrturia has created a beautiful emulation of the legendary Roland TB-303 here. There are reverbs, delays, dynamic processors, bit-crusher, and modulations like a Juno-60-inspired chorus. Finally, you can round off the Acid V sound with an impressive selection of effects found in a dedicated 4-slot multi-fx section. With this, you can generate varied, synced-to-the-rhythm automation whereby the iconic biting TB-303 sound can be pushed into new sonic directions. The Acid V plugin features three function generators which can be used as a classic envelope generator (ADSR…) or as a complex LFO with draw functionality. Something I don’t necessarily expect in a TB-303 emulation but fits here.ĭeep modulation, something that no TB-303 emulation has done before, can be discovered here. You can also unlock a flexible arpeggiator with various play directions and more. So you always stay inspired with new sequences. You can also quickly mutate existing sequences or transform them into new results in a handy transmutation section. ![]() Then, you can work with various built-in scales, change the rat, adjust gates, and with a click, you can also work polymetrically. Here you can classically edit the individual notes and set each note’s octave, slide, accent, and vibrato. Arturia has completely revised and massively expanded this. One of the most essential elements of the original TB-303 is its sequencer. Here you find four sections: sequencer, modulation 1, 2, 3, and effects. The gate opens to more sound design and rhythm features in an advanced mode. Via a pop-up menu, you can fine-tune the behavior of the different hands-on parameters like the cutoff range, bass boost, PW, and more.īut that’s not all Arturia has given its TB-303 software. But to make it more versatile, they built in 14 algorithms: crunch, crush, destroy, diode, distortion, germanium, metal, overdrive, soft clip, tape, tube, wavefolder, transistor, and thick.Īnd if the Acid V doesn’t sound like your original unit in your studio, no problem. Like a well-known hardware clone/replica, Arturia has added a distortion unit to its emulation. Next, you find a vibrato effect with speed and amount controls. When you first play it, you notice that this gives the sound much more power and volume. This starts with a multi-wave sub-oscillator with three octaves and volume control. But that’s all that comes from the original.Īlready in the main UI, you can see some clever new additions. There is also a sequencer with buttons and accent slide controls. A very Roland-like UI, a single two-wave oscillator, pitch, cutoff, resonance, envelope mod, decay, and accent. The developers have given the TB-303 engine significant feature gains.Īt first glance, the Acid V has everything the original has. However, Arturia did more with the Acid V than just a 1:1 software recreation of the legendary Roland Synthesizer. Yes, it was only a matter of time the TB-303 would join. The newest member of the Arturia soft family is the Acid V, a supercharged emulation of the TB-303. They bundle these in their popular V Collection bundle, currently in version 9. Regarding software, the French company Arturia focuses on refined emulations. The synth has often been replicated in hardware and emulated in software. It’s the Synthesizer epitome when it comes to techno, especially acid. Roland’s 1981 was supposed to simulate acoustic bass back then, but that turned out to be very different, as we all know it today. The TB-303 Bassline is a legendary Synthesizer. Arturia Acid V is a supercharged, still authentic emulation of the legendary Roland TB-303 with a multi-distortion, built-in modulation, and more. ![]() ![]() ![]() An in-progress match on Dust II, in which the player is using an AK-47 Winning rounds generally rewards more money than losing does, and completing map-based objectives, including killing enemies, gives additional cash bonuses. At the end of each short round, players are rewarded based on individual and team performance with in-game currency to spend on other weapons or utility in subsequent rounds. Two opposing teams, the Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists, compete in game modes to repeatedly complete objectives, such as securing a location to plant or defuse a bomb and rescuing or capturing hostages. Global Offensive, like prior games in the Counter-Strike series, is an objective-based, multiplayer first-person shooter. Additionally, the game remains playable on Xbox 360. A legacy version of Global Offensive was later released for outdated devices and platforms unable to run Counter-Strike 2, though matchmaking was still disabled. Official matchmaking for Global Offensive was shut down that day, though players were still able to connect to community servers. Teams compete in professional leagues and tournaments, with the game often cited as being among the best in esports.Ĭounter-Strike 2, a major update bringing the game to the Source 2 engine, was announced on March 22, 2023, and was released on September 27, 2023. The game has an active esports scene, continuing the history of international competitive play from previous games in the series. In December 2018, Valve transitioned the game to a free-to-play model, focusing on revenue from cosmetic items. Since its release, it has drawn in an estimated 11 million players per month and remains one of the most played games on Valve's Steam platform. Global Offensive received positive reviews from critics on release, who praised the game for its gameplay and faithfulness to the Counter-Strike series, though it was criticized for some early features and the differences between the console and PC versions. A battle-royale game-mode, "Danger Zone", was introduced in late 2018. The game also has matchmaking support that allows players to play on dedicated Valve servers, in addition to community-hosted servers with custom maps and game modes. There are nine official game modes, all of which have distinct characteristics specific to that mode. The most common game modes involve the Terrorists planting a bomb while Counter-Terrorists attempt to stop them, or Counter-Terrorists attempting to rescue hostages that the Terrorists have captured. ![]() The game pits two teams, Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists, against each other in different objective-based game modes. Developed for over two years, Global Offensive was released for OS X, PlayStation 3, Windows, and Xbox 360 in August 2012, and for Linux in 2014. It is the fourth game in the Counter-Strike series.

Now you need to turn it back into something resembling the original geometery. The arcs will be broken up into line segments so they can be converted into SVG path data. ![]() If your V-carve G-code has G2/G3 arcs (you can open it in Notepad++ and just search for G2 and G3), you’ll need to choose a curve interpolation step size.Generally, this is zero, but if the G-code is zeroed to the table not the top of the stock, you’ll need to enter that.

Turning it back into something worthwhile may be a bit more work, but in many cases a good result can be reached without too considerable an effort. In “Laser Mode”, moves without the spindle on and at non-zero speed are ignored.If any arcs have a K parameter, that’s between them and their creator.In any other mode, all moves are interpreted as being at constant Z.In V-carve mode, Z-axis data is used to regenerate the geometry.SVG is inherently two-dimensional, so importing a fully 3D carve is unlikely to give any useful result.This cannot be helped, at least within the rules of this universe. sharp inside corners) in the original design may not be reflected in the G-code.

Cloud's person-sized buster sword isn't for show, after all. Fight or flightīesides your first trip to the hazy red light district of Wall Market, where doing favours for locals plays into the plot, FF7R is better off for sticking to an action-packed pace most of the time. Her chapter is only short, but it shows how the remake could evolve its way towards a more interesting second chapter. Her combat style, a hectic mix of close-range and long-range fighting, is terrific fun too. ![]() Flipping switches with ranged attacks and clambering up walls like the ninja she is results in much more interesting exploration than Cloud is ever faced with. It's centred on Yuffie, a character who didn't appear until later in the original game. The extra Intergrade episode, originally DLC for the PlayStation version, has levels that benefit from a little more interactivity. While the mix of ironwork scrap yards and neon-lit streets is incredibly pretty throughout, dungeon-like areas are more mundane and static. There, you get a sense of what life is like for those who are ignorant of the planet's plight. In the original game, that section was only two screens long.Īnother highlight is a brand new chunk of story that has you walking a quiet residential district for Shinra employees, a kind of company town. After the destruction of a Mako Reactor early in the game, you'll walk among the panicking populace, and really feel connected to the people around you as they desperately search for loved ones amid the wreckage. Only a handful of chapters push the brakes to let Cloud wander around a hub and take on sidequests. The Midgar portion of the original game wasn't exactly open world, and neither is the remake. As everything reaches a dramatic climax, it makes sense to close the book there (until the inevitable sequel). While originally the Midgar section could take about 10 hours, here it's transformed into a 35-40 hour adventure that feels more complete in its own right. The biggest caveat is that, despite the title, FF7R only retells the opening of the original game-the portion set in the grimy, industrial city of Midgar, where the wealthy live in comfort on gigantic plates of metal, while the poor live in the shadows beneath next to piles of scrap and waste. The combat system is now fully real-time, though in a way that finally manages to honour the classic RPG legacy of the series. It balances faithfully recreating the original 1997 game (1998 if you first played it on PC like I did, giving me a lasting appreciation for the MIDI soundtrack), while commenting on the source material in a way that makes it feel up-to-date. After the lacklustre, confused, and unfinished-feeling Final Fantasy 15, this new take on one of the most beloved games in the series feels like it truly has vision. ![]() ![]() ![]() These often come with adjustable shelves and can display your records with a stylish twist.
