Okay, here's a long shot for the #Fedi hive mind. If you are in the intersection of "#musician or musician-adjacent in the 1980s" and "keyboard / #synthesizer aficionado", this one is for you. In the mid- to late-80s, I used to spend a lot of time in music / #instrument stores (not selling CDs, selling guitars and amps and drums and whatnot). Synthesizer tech was advancing rapidly at this point, with digital starting to overtake analog by leaps and bounds. At some point, one of the stores got a new #keyboard model in. I can't swear to it, but I think it was either a #Roland or a #Korg. This one had a floppy drive built in, on the side of the #synth. And they had a demo on a floppy disk that was incredible at the time. It wasn't an official #demo disk. It was a normal consumer floppy, presumably copied far and wide. Hand-Sharpied on it was the name/title "Amin Phone". It was a musical, bright and upbeat piece, rock/pop, maybe 30s long, and included digital samples of a person's voice. The entire thing was a ridiculous #answering machine outgoing #message. I think there was even a sampled voice at the end taken from someone leaving a message, commenting on it being over-the-top or something. "Amin phone" is unsearchable on the 'net. Everyone has a phone, and there are millions of people named Amin or el-Amin. Anyone else remember this? Anyone actually able to point to a recording of it? #KeyboardDemo #SynthDemo #AminPhone #Amin #AnsweringMachine #FloppyDisk

Xpadder is a versatile software application that facilitates the mapping of keyboard keys, game controller pads, and arcade sticks to enhance user interaction with operating systems, specifically Windows and the Linux variant known as Wine. This powerful utility offers gamers the ability to customize their control schemes, allowing for a more tailored and enjoyable gaming experience. It is particularly advantageous for individuals who prefer using various input devices for gameplay, as it provides the flexibility to assign specific functions to different buttons and keys. In terms of accessibility, Xpadder is typically discovered through various channels within the software distribution community. It is often available in patches and versions that are shared on internet forums devoted to software enhancement, as well as within the torrent ecosystem, where users seek alternative means of acquiring software. Additionally, instances of Xpadder can sometimes be located on web archives that preserve digital content, allowing users to retrieve older versions of the program for compatibility with legacy systems or specific gaming applications. Overall, the presence of Xpadder in these contexts highlights the software's popularity and the demand for customizable input solutions among gamers and technology enthusiasts alike. The functionality of Xpadder not only enhances gameplay experience but also encourages a more inclusive gaming environment by allowing a broader range of input devices to be utilized effectively. #bittorrent #webarchive #xpadder #linux #windows #software #controller #keyboard #mapper #arcadesticks #gamepad #controllers #blutooth #and #usbadaptors

I'm back on GrapheneOS ☺️ I settled for an Google Pixel 10 Pro XL. Will try to keep that for two years but we'll see. I have a tendency to buy new hardware quite often. (way too often). And of course I started donating to GrapheneOS again. Today I found a great keyboard that has support for auto correct in many languages, my included (Swedish). The keyboard app is HeliBoard, an actively developed fork of OpenBoard. So far I've found one app that does not really work with GrapheneOS and that is a car parking app (Parkering Göteborg), but I haven't used that in ages and I've read that there should be other ways to pay for parking in Göteborg when / if I go there again. #GrapheneOS #Pixel #GooglePixel #GooglePixelProXL #Android #HeliBoard #Keyboard #AndroidKeyboard #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #Swedish #Language #AutoCorrect
