![]() ![]() If you use a GUI for compiling latex and index files, you may have to set this in the options. To tell makeindex to use a specific style file, run it with the command line option: To improve the looks of the index makeindex comes with a set of style files, usually located somewhere in the tex directory structure, usually below the makeindex subdirectory. The index created by latex with the default options may not look as nice or as suitable as you would like it. If now the LaTeX input file is processed again, this sorted index gets included into the document at the point where LaTeX finds \printindex. The makeindex program generates a sorted index with the same base file name, but this time with the extension. You can optionally pass filename.idx directly to the program as an argument. Note that filename is without extension: the program will look for filename.idx and use that. idx file can then be processed with the makeindex program. The file has the same name as the LaTeX input file, but a different extension (. When the input file is processed with LaTeX, each \index command writes an appropriate index entry, together with the current page number, to a special file. This is quite useful for proofreading a document and verifying the index. The showidx package that comes with LaTeX prints out all index entries in the right margin of the text. It is common to place it at the end of the document. LaTeX supports the creation of indices with its package makeidx, and its support program makeindex, called on some systems makeidx.

It supports wireless DSMidiWifi and Line 6 Midi Mobilizer, and it’s utterly brilliant – you get to just focus in on editing a MIDI pattern with some truly powerful tools. ![]() StepPolyArp is the other MIDI sequencer I use, aside from little midi machine.For me personally, I’d rather have a few good apps I depend on. I’m not a believer in the notion of loading up your iPad with a zillion apps – I learned that lesson the hard way long ago loading up my computer with a zillion plug-ins. You could forget every other app and immerse yourself in the Korg app and probably be happy. No iPad music demo would be complete without the insanely-deep iMS20 from Korg, which is what I use with the Akai keyboard (sorry, Korg) at the end. I might opt for the Akai MPK mini, as then you get pads and encoders, too. That’s also true of similar, portable options like Korg’s nano series. The Akai LPK25 is a cute little music keyboard Akai now offers a whole mess of controllers that work without drivers. There are various driver-free audio gadgets out there the $30(!)

And if you don’t necessarily want a $500 iPad, here’s a demo video of the MeeBlip “gex0008” shot with a used Yamaha QY10, a portable MIDI sequencer. MeeBlip is an open-source, hackable synth designed by James Grahame and sold and supported in collaboration with Create Digital Music. If you’re serious about MIDI, you probably won’t regret having both. Line6 points out that it also theoretically supports faster speeds, but the thing I like most about it is that you get little LED lights that flash when MIDI is sent or received – ideal for troubleshooting! SonicState did a great video hands-on review: Also the only device that works with the iPhone and iPod touch and not just the iPad.

(Bluetooth seems not to be an option, because of how Apple provides access to that connection.)īut here, we’re using good, old-fashioned hardware connections, which means you can work with hardware from the 80s through today – and you don’t have to have your computer with you. ![]() Various iOS apps let you send MIDI (or other protocols, like OpenSoundControl) wirelessly, via the WiFi connection. Of course, by definition, what I’m saying also applies to other computing platforms that can support MIDI, which includes Mac OS, Windows, and Linux. In the video at top, co-produced by CDM and Tekserve, I show a hands-on with MIDI gear and the iPad. Tonight at an event Tekserve titled “the future of music,” then, I’m the Ghost of Music Technology Past. I’ve been working with Tekserve, an independent Apple service and sales shop in Manhattan, to help show iPad owners how they can use this protocol – now more than a quarter century old – to make all their gear work together. It doesn’t transmit sound, but it does transmit information like pitch, note events, knob twists, button presses, and clock and transport information. For the uninitiated, MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the de facto industry standard means for communicating musical events between different hardware and software. Like traditional computers before it, part of what makes the shiny, new iPad musically useful is its ability to work with other gear.Įnter MIDI.

You can specify a certificate and a corresponding private key using -cert and If the target server requires authentication using a client side certificate, cacertdir to configure a trusted root certificate bundle or directory. You may enable SSL/TLS using the -tls option, along with -cacert or Option and the URI pattern $ redis-cli -u PINGīy default, redis-cli uses a plain TCP connection to connect to Redis.

To specify a different host name or an IP address, use the -h option. You can change the port using several command line options. When you input strings that contain single or double quotes, as you might in passwords, for example, escape the string, like so: 127.0.0.1:6379> AUTH some_admin_user port, password, and databaseīy default, redis-cli connects to the server at the address 127.0.0.1 with port 6379. Single quotes assume the string is literal, and allow only the following escape sequences:įor example, to return Hello World on two lines: 127.0.0.1:6379> SET mykey "Hello\nWorld" \xhh - any ASCII character represented by a hexadecimal number ( hh).Quoted string values are enclosed in double ( ") or single ( ') quotation marks.Įscape sequences are used to put nonprintable characters in character and string literals.Īn escape sequence contains a backslash ( \) symbol followed by one of the escape sequence characters.ĭoubly-quoted strings support the following escape sequences: To input string values that contain whitespaces or non-printable characters, you can use quoted and escaped strings. In interactive mode, a newline sends the command for parsing and execution. When redis-cli parses a command, whitespace characters automatically delimit the arguments.

This additional information may not be ideal when the output of redis-cli must be used as input of another command or redirected into a file. Since Redis replies are typed (strings, arrays, integers, nil, errors, etc.), you see the type of the reply between parentheses.

You’ll find a few cases as you explore around, including three all-new cases that are actually some of the best content in the game, and feel as if they were always there. You’ll speak to them through their intercoms attached to their door, getting to know them and their concerns about the lockdown. The story pushes Dan through the apartment complex across its many floors, talking with its tenants, who are trapped in their rooms. Upon arriving, Dan finds a decapitated body that may or may not belong to his son, and the apartment building then suddenly goes into lockdown, trapping Lazarski inside the building with not just the people who call the building home, but his son’s possible killer as well. You play as Daniel Lazarski, one such Observer who receives a call from his estranged son Adam and goes to his apartment building to find him. During this time, Chiron, a megacorporation, took control of Poland, creating the Fifth Polish Republic, and founding the Observers, a sect of police units charged with special hacking skills. Observer takes place in Krakow, Poland in 2084, after a nanophage took the lives of thousands, resulting in civilians being designated into certain classes depending on numerous factors, such as excessive drug use, or other addictions. You’ll also be equipped with a hacking tool, allowing you to jack into the minds of the living, or the recently deceased. You’ll also have the assistance of 2 visual modes Electromagnetic and Bio vision that alternate between electronic or organic scanning. As an Observer, which is more or less a detective, you’ll piece together clues to solve the crimes or cases you’ll come into contact with. Hallways will distort, twist, or morph in every direction, bombarding you with grotesque imagery and flashy holograms, often with sounds that look to enhance the shock or horror they are paired with. You’ll walk around environments, activating triggers that change or progress the world around you. Observer is in much the same vein as what we’ve come to expect from the developer part walking simulator, part point-and-click adventure. Now, it’s not all sunshine and cyber-daisies as there are some issues that still remain here, but we’ll dive into those later. With the industry being so fascinated with remakes and remasters, Bloober Team might just have shown everyone how it’s done, as everything has seen a major or noticeable facelift, enhancing every single aspect of the game, while still retaining the feel of the original. Even despite that short sampling, I could tell from the very beginning that this remake has certainly enhanced not just the textures and lighting, but the remade character models and animations are drastically better as well. My experience with the original release was only a few short hours, trying the game out back when it hit Game Pass back in 2018. ![]() With a few other enhancements and a few new quests to take on, Observer: System Redux is easily the best version of this cyber-thriller adventure. With the launch of brand new consoles in the Series X/S and PS5, Bloober Team decided it was time for a facelift, remaking the game to take advantage of HDR lightning, 4K support, and even raytracing, something that just wasn’t possible on previous generation hardware. Back in 2017, Bloober Team, fresh off the success of Layers of Fear, dove into the cyberspace realm with Observer, a cyberpunk detective adventure starring legendary actor, Rutger Hauer. ![]() ![]() ![]() Levels 3-4 are compensated as per Bands G, and H.
