Impuls Responses

I was able to acquire 2nd hand a beautiful taylor. Since it had no possibility of amplification and I didn’t really want to do too much DIY in it, I decided to do it differently. I installed passive piezo elements under the top under the bridge to then use self-created impulse responses from the Taylor to regenerate the acoustic sound.

Develloped a multi timeframe strategy based on Bollinger Bands. Trained a selection of AI models based with 5 years of historic data and the new strategy. The model got itself updated with every new data. Automated buy and sell orders saved me when the market collapsed.

The goal was to develop a minimalistic PHP script that placed trades on the Kraken exchange using API’s. It worked but despite various strategies it did not get very profitable on a 5min chart time. Mostly because of the trading fee’s combined with a bulish / side-way market. Will pick up later on a longer chart time.
Connect wireless switches, lights, Google Nest, Chromecast, Spotify and Mobile Phone. Run Home Assistantant Core in Docker on a Rasberry Pi 4b. Create dashboard with graphs in Grafana/InfluxDB. Flash ESP firmware on ESP8285 en ESP8266 wireless devices.

Created a WiFi remote footcontroller for the Behringer XR18/Midas MR18. Works flawless. Sending, receiving and storing of patches. Still use it at gigs with my band.
During gigs I use some effect pedals and a tuner. Since I didn’t want to keep changing batteries and wanted as few cords as possible, I attached a 10A battery pack under the floorboard. Since the standard output was 5v via USB, I added a small stepup converter to provide the necessary 9v. This works perfectly and provides about 8 hours of power.

I finally managed to get my hands on the legendary Yamaha SY99 synthesizer. It was the flagship model when it came out in the early 1990s but still highly acclaimed today. Despite its excellent condition, it could benefit from a new display, internal battery and a USB floppy emulator. It was a fun, fairly easy job and I’ve learned a lot about the world of FM synthesis in the meantime.
