7/8/2023 0 Comments Plaaying the train on snare![]() Although there are too many styles out there to try to cover with just a few drummers, we found players with a few different backgrounds including training in jazz, brazilian music, rock, and orchestral percussion. We hired several professional drummers to come to the Google office, and we recorded them playing on a Roland TD-11 electronic drum set in our studio, collecting a total of 13.6 hours of drum recordings. The Groove MIDI Dataset lets us turn drum performances into drum machine beats, and the GrooVAE model learns to do the reverse. This also allows us to mask out the groove from the model by quantizing the beats. These drummers recorded beats along with a metronome, so we can model the timing of their playing relative to a defined grid. We train these models on a new dataset of recordings by professional drummers playing an electronic drum kit that captures MIDI.We can see this at work in some of the examples throughout this post, when GrooVAE decides to change things up, for example by adding a few extra snare drums at the end, rather than sticking exactly to the prescribed input. We found empirically that the VIB component of the model, which constrains the encoded vectors to lie in a smoother space, helps to keep the generated beats realistic, even when given very different drum patterns from those in the training data. Since the inputs and output are different, our models technically fall under the category of Variational Information Bottleneck (VIB) rather than VAE. ![]() We mask part of the input (either the score or the groove) from the encoder, optimizing the GrooVAE models to learn to predict what the actual beat was in the training data, given only one part of it.In addition to the MIDI patterns that MusicVAE accepts, we jointly encode the groove of a sequence into the same latent vector by way of training models to reconstruct not just quantized MIDI sequences, but also the velocity and microtiming of each note.The GrooVAE models are variants of the Recurrent Variational Autoencoder (VAE) architecture in the MusicVAE framework, with a few key differences: The video below shows this model responding to the timing of a keyboard player, a guitar player, and a bass player with different beats. The Drumify model can work with any rhythmic input, as long as the tempo is consistent, by looking at the timing onsets of any musical instrument. The Drumify model is a GrooVAE that generates a score and velocities to add to any rhythmic groove: Tapped Rhythm You can add grooves to your own beats (or ones generated by MusicVAE) with this app by Monica Dinculescu using the. The Groove model is a GrooVAE that adds groove to a score (similar to “humanization” functions common in Digital Audio Workstations): Score ![]() With GrooVAE, we try to address this production challenge by training machine learning models that take in either a drum score or a groove, but not both, then generating a fully realized beat by adding the missing part. From a music production standpoint, however, while it is easy to create the score component in a MIDI editor or the groove component by tapping out or implying a rhythm on any instrument, creating both together is much more difficult, unless you have the technical skills of a drummer (and a readily available drum set for recording). ![]() Given either a score (also called a pattern) or, alternatively, a groove, a good drummer can come up with ways to fill in the other component. We can visualize drums in piano roll format: each row shows one piece of a drum kit (kick, snare, etc.), velocity is shown in color (with louder notes in red and quieter notes in blue), and microtiming can be seen as deviations from the vertical grid lines that represent 16th notes.

![]() I'm actually going to be purchasing DVD Studio Pro as soon as Apple updates the Final Cut Studio box set, which I admittedly thought they'd have done by now.

Fair warning: brake systems are pretty complex, so there is a lot of information in this article. The methodology we used is likely to work for many 90’s and 2000’s BMWs. These are our findings, and we hope they’ll help out future BMW drift builders. Nothing was available off-the-shelf like it is for more popular drift cars, so we had to do some research. When it came time to actually source parts and install the hand brake, however, we found that information was sparse for the E39 chassis. The wagon’s 4.4L V8 makes plenty of power, but still there are times when a quick lock of the rear wheels would be preferable to a clutch kick.

The hydraulic handbrake is not used to stop the car.Ī hydraulic hand brake can be added into the rear brake line system without changing the original mechanical handbrake setup. Rally drivers regularly need to spin 180 degrees "on the spot" when they over shoot an intersection, or need to turn very hard left or right and there's not enough wheel lock to achieve this. A hydraulic handbrake is used by drivers to lock up or break loose the rear wheels when they want to Drift the car sideways or spin on the spot. The hydraulic system connects into the brake line that runs to the rear calipers and requires a lot less force to completely lock both rear wheels when needed. ![]() The hydraulic system eliminates the weaknesses as in the standard cable type handbrakes.

Perhaps check boxes that allows selection of either or both? AVAHI for SMB makes it easier to access the flash drive from a Mac. is this the correct approach?

Is there any use of AVAHI outside of AFP? I don't know what's the best solution for an OS X environment. I threw in -SMB suffix, well, because I could. So it gets started if, and only if AFP is enabled. What's the best way to handle this? At present avahi is considered part of the 'AFP' suite. I have another suggestion! Is it possible to enable/disable Avahi on either SMB or AFP? I will be testing in the next hour at home on Lion and 10.6. I appreciate the quick response for AFP issues.

Google Cloud Print was built in to many printers, and no one on the market can offer that feature right now. Google isn't offering those users an alternative, but that doesn't mean that none exist. Not every Google Cloud Print user was a Chromebook user-some people just liked the idea of printing from anywhere. Don't see your printer? Make sure it's compatible.Īfter setting this up, you can print from your Chromebook. You should see your printer in the list of options-add it. Make sure your printer is turned on and plugged into your Chromebook, if it uses a cable, or connected to the same network as your Chromebook, if it's a networked printer. Google offers animated directions for setting up printers, but the summary is that you need to open your ChromeOS settings then head to Printing. How to print from ChromeOS without Google Cloud PrintĬhromebook users can set up printing the same way Windows or macOS users do-by attempting to print and following the prompts. By November of 2019, Google announced they planned to shut down Cloud Print entirely, which ultimately happened on December 31, 2020. ![]() Not every printer supports this, but a bunch do. A lot of people liked that kind of flexibility, so the app took off outside of Chromebook users.īy 2017, though, ChromeOS added a native printing feature, meaning you can set up your printer to work with your Chromebook directly. This meant you could print a document at work from your home computer. Printers normally only work if you're on the same network, but Cloud Print worked wherever you were. ![]() Some printer manufacturers offered built-in Cloud Print support, or you could install software on a Windows computer that let you print using unsupported printers.Ĭloud Print did more than just make it possible to print on Chromebooks, though. Cloud Print was basically a workaround, making it possible for Chromebooks to print without the need for Google to add drivers to ChromeOS. This meant that absolutely nothing happened if you plugged a printer into your brand new Chromebook-and that printing over the network also didn't work. In 2010, ChromeOS, Google's then-new laptop operating system, didn't have any printer drivers. Google Cloud Print existed to solve one problem: printing from Chromebooks.
