Demonstration starts at 1:07 m. Thomas says a lot of really interesting stuff about his construction, but it's all in German. He has been building these square metal clarinets for years already.

I'm playing Ernie Ball cobalt flats on my 4-string and really like them. Now I'm looking for full scale flats with a similar sound and feel to set up a 5-string with an E-A-D-G-C tuning. I'm even more interested in a 6 string set since I could restring to B-E-A-D-G if needed (the bass has a zero fret). Unfortunately I don't see any cobalts set from Ernie Ball catering to these specs.

Recommendations I found online are S.I.T. Power Flats or Dunlop DBFS30125. The Power Flats unfortunately are not available in Europe and the Dunlops are really expensive. Are there any other options?

Great video about a plenty of medieval instruments that briefly touches on their context as well as their development. Every instrument comes with a well recorded demonstration.

I peeked into the automatically generated subs and they are good enough to follow the simple parts, but have errors and misunderstandings in them. Highly recommended for the german speaking instrument nerds and still worth a watch for others with subs.

We recently get _a_lot_ of bot activity. The posts are just 1-to-1 copies of older posts that got many upvotes. Hence I assume it's about karma farming. So far they are not able to copy videos and only post the preview image (like in this recent example, see OP here) of video posts. If you are able to identify a bot post, please report it. /edit: You can even help a lot more if you include the non-bot-OP url in your report, but any bot post report is appreciated.

I've also noticed this in other subs and I'm wondering where this is going. Moderation on reddit is solely relying on voluntary effort that people do in their free time. With the shifts in technology of recent years bot spamming has become easier than ever, though. It's clear that the voluntary efforts are already insufficient for the bot activity that is happening now. If reddit will not react I'd expect even the niche subs like this to become unusable. What are your thoughts?

I've only used BW for live signal processing so far - controlling VSTs with MIDI controllers. I want to combine this kind of performance with a series of preproduced clips that I trigger one after another with a MIDI foot controller. Meaing:

• trigger: play clip 1, stop
• trigger: play cilp 2, stop
• and so on

I'd love to be able to skip or go back a step in case I fuck up the order while playing.

What would be the best way to go about this? What keywords/feature/device should I read into?

In a comment two years ago Clark wrote that he's still working on it - a version 4 at that time, but other than that I can't find any update. If you are interested in the instrument I want to encourage you to comment on his video to show interest and hopefully to move Clark to give us an update.

I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 3rd Gen on windows 10x64. I want to use Bitwig (v 5.1.9) to receive an instrument signal from my Scarlett's Input 3, send it out of its Outputs 3+4 to a hardware stereo effect and then go back into Input 1+2.

I get a signal from Input 3, but nothing from Inputs 1+2. If I plug in the instrument directly into the hardware stereo effect (thus bypassing the Output 3+4) I do get a signal on Input 1+2. So the issue is that the Scarlett is not sending anything out of Output 3+4.

The issue persists if I use another DAW (Reaper 7.69) in the exact same manner: Signal on Input 3, nothing on 1+2 (yet again I receive something on 1+2 if I plug the instrument directly into the hardware stereo effect).

How can I remedy this issue?

I want to send audio from Bitwig to a stereo guitar pedal and then back into Bitwig, but I'm facing issues.
Running Bitwig 5.1.9 on win 10x64 with a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 3rd Gen.

Idea for setup:

• Running a mono signal into Input 3 on the Scarlett
• Forwarding that mono signal through stereo effects VSTs to Outputs 3 and 4 (configured as stereo out in Bitwig)
• Feeding that stereo signal into the guitar pedal
• Bringing the stereo signal from the pedal back into the Inputs 1 and 2 (configured as Stereo In in Bitwig) on the Scarlett

Project configuration so far:

• An audio track receiving Input 3 from the Scarlett and sending it to Stereo Out 3+4 (set up as "role: output" for channels 3 and 4 in Bitwigs audio settings), monitoring: always
• Another audio track receiving Input 1 and 2 of the Scarlett (set up as Stereo In 1+2 in Bitwig), monitoring: always

Problem is: I don't receive anything on Input 1+2. If I plug an instrument directly into the guitar pedal then I do receive a signal on Input 1+2. So I assume that there isn't anything being sent out on Outputs 3+4. What could be the issue here? What am I missing?
