![]() The uncompressed SoundFont plus notes and license files (if included) will be created in the same directory as the source sfArk file. ![]() ![]() Then press "start" to decompress the file. Select a sfArk file to decompress using "File, Open" from the main menu. In addition you may want set sfArkXT to be the "Open with application" used by Finder to open sfArk files. Simply copy the contents of the distribution archive to the folder of your choice (typically the "applications" folder). Worse, the explanation of how to use the decompression tools reads: I don't recall how you do that in Linux either. More confoundingly, the file name for the Fluid soundfont has a blank space (a touch of the space bar) in the file name. I'm sure I downloaded the Linux version of this. The name of this is:Īnd the file properties show it as an "executable". I try again, and the program to extract the soundfont has been extracted from the compressed directory with the padlock symbol on it. (That does point out how bad MS is, but that's another story). MIDI is the only place in all of Linux where Microsoft is better. Why? I'm not a computer techie, so I have to find the chown code to make it useful. I look in the directory and Lo! and Behold!, the extracted directory has the padlock icon symbol on it. It's all of 35 kilo bytes, so is another compressed file really necessary? Then I try to extract it into my soundfont directory. Why? I download the (again) compressed file. and while this page is kind enough to offer a method to uncompress the soundfont file, the author gives no model or example of the command line structure to do so. That takes me to another page: sfArk SoundFont Compression In it goes and then, I discover it's got it's own compressed file format. I don't know where the contents of the archive are supposed to go, but for my own ease sake, I make a directory called: soundfont. So, reading further someone has set a link to Fluid3. So I'm busy getting Audacious in the plug-ins/extras when I have to stop, mid-stream, and get a Sound Font (I'm not a musician, I only want MIDI playback), whatever that is. I get a warm fuzzy feeling and the next thing you know, my terminal is open and I'm trying his "thing". ![]() How To: Ubuntu MIDI Playback with Audacious (I can't seem to learn from my previous mistakes here). This year (2008), I find some guy who says he's got it working and I get all excited to try it. In order for MIDI Guitar to find the instruments, you need to open MIDI Guitar, go to Plugins and set the SFZ folder to whatever location you put the SFZ files.About once a year since Breezy Badger, I've tried to get MIDI to do nothing more than playback in/on Ubuntu. Put all these files in a folder on your hard drive. You need to download both the large wav files package and the small SFZ files package. It can be used with both the internal player and Sforzando. Virtual Playing Orchestra is a large freeware bank of orchestral instruments in SFZ format. But Sforzando adds SF2 format, effects and allows for tweaking. Note: There is a simple buildin SFZ player in MIDI Guitar and MIDI Bass for windows & macos. Simple but very powerful for advanced users.

So what do the Weevils have that Moshi Monsters don't? "Some are quite clever and some are quite posh," says eight-year-old Daisy Cole. (Vocally some of the weevils sound a bit like Leonard Cohen.) That would be the benchmark for Bin Weevils." He describes the Weevils' sound as "something that will appeal to 7-10 year olds, with a slightly poppy rock sound". He worked on the Moshi album, so he should know: it "ended up doing 70 or 80K, maybe even more than that. "We know that if you can work with the right partner, or with the right band, and create music that appeals to a certain age, you can sell lots of CDs," says Phil Savill. Counterintuitively, this youngest of demographics still buys music on CDs. Their debut album, Bin Tunes, is released by Sony on Monday. And now, like Moshi Monsters, the Weevils have a record deal. Worldwide, it has 20 million registered players and 30,000 new users are signing up daily, most of them in the UK.Īs with Moshi Monsters, the website allows its users to create their own character, customise its habitats and interact with others.

She uses the words "slimy" and "grimy" to talk about them.īin Weevils launched in 2008 as part of .uk (Johnson used to be head of creative at the Disney Channel in the UK) and the numbers that measure its growth are compelling. That was the attraction of them," says Johnson. "All the characteristics of Bin Weevils were born out of this idea that they were cheeky, anarchic, irreverent, a little bit grungier than some of the more glossy kids brands that are around. The Wombles, right? Except Bin Weevils are less wholesome and biddable than Wombles, and they don't push the environmental message. You may think you have heard this before. ![]() "The idea," says Johnson, "is that it originated from rubbish." Their habitats – the weevil bank or cinema – are all made out of rubbish. The weevils are so-called because they live in a bin, which is not as appalling as it sounds, because as is the way of these things, the bin can be customised. Or perhaps not so improbably: "They have a long nose because of their weevil-like nature," says their co-founder, Amelia Johnson. It's the Bin Weevil, a weevil-like creature with its own virtual world and an improbably long nose. Move over Moshi Monsters, there's a new animated critter in your child's social media life. You’ll need to back off and keep dodging more projectiles until your vision returns - so watch for his attacks that send three projectiles into the ground across a wide area. If you get hit, you’ll be blinded, and if you thought this sucked before, it’s downright impossible to find him in the darkened arena. He’ll frequently dash backwards while leaving projectiles behind for you to step on. Trouble comes when he starts launching projectiles. Kill the other Nightmares and any other Elves who join the fight, then look for another pulsating core to rip open. Quickly rush in and disrupt his summoning and then keep knocking him into the wall to finish him quickly before he gets the chance to move away. More Nightmares will appear, as will a Dark Elf Summoner. Hang back and take it easy as they drift to you, and use your axe throwing to detonate them all from a safe distance before moving up and crossing back to the center. It’s not enough to get rid of the hive, but it will cast a big enough glow to activate a bridge nearby.Ĭross the bridge and head left, moving slowly for when a group of Explosive Nightmares appear. When the crew lies dead, turn your attention to the root core and break it open before powering up your axe to explode the core. You can also try and get behind them and knock them off ledges for a quick kill. Cross over to the base of the hive and engage the Dark Elves here.Ī Summoner is among them, so either unload on him quickly or use Atreus to disrupt him when he tries to spin his staff and create more reinforcements. This will lead you to the Ringed Temple Interior, where the Dark Elves have covered the light in hive of sorts. ![]() Once your sure no more are coming, turn your attention to the elves and rush and stun them to take them out. They’re pretty much heat-seeking missiles of poison - get back and launch your axes at them while dodging the incoming Dark Elves. Run past the lowest one and turn around to toss your axe upwards at all three of them, and you’ll unlock the Coffin to get 1 Soft Svartalfheim Steel.įurther along the ring passage you’ll come across a host of Exploding Nightmares. There’s also a coffin covered in roots here, and three pulsating cores on different strands along the hall. When they’re dead, look back at the wall you dropped down to knock a hanging pot down for some Hacksilver. He’ll keep doing this too, as well as using his weapon to send shockwaves and projectiles - so focus fire on him first before taking out the two Warriors that flank him. When you’re ready, look for the small crawlspace to the left of Sindri to enter the temple, and get ready for a welcoming party.Īs you drop down into the long chamber, a Dark Elf Summoner will appear to do what he does best: Summon reinforcements. ![]() Look to the right for a large wall and start beating it up until you can rapidly tap Circle to create a platform over to the middle. When the closest enemies have been dealt with, you’ll need to find a way to the far platform. So much so that in the following fight, you’ll have unlimited Spartan Rage, so waste no time killing every Dark Elf that comes your way. As you climb out, you’ll be ambushed by a big ugly Dark Elf and his Dark Elf Warriors.Īt this point, you’ll temporarily lose both your axe and Atreus - but Kratos has rage to spare. Head through the prison (there doesn’t seem to be any way to open the cells with the Draugr yet) into a room with two root cores you can angle to hit both at once. It reduces all damage from Dark Elves’ attacks by 12% and is VERY useful in this area, so put it to use! ![]() Head back down the passage to open the Coffin and you’ll get a Rare Enchantment - a Fragmented Heart of Alfheim. Here’s another wheel mechanism here so you can return back outside - try using it and you’ll notice a hidden coffin that’s just in the wall you can lower a bit to your level, and then throw your axe at the gear on the right. ![]() Unless the manufacturer advised us not to, we also assessed how well each model coped with crushing ice.ĭrink up with our 13 best smoothie makers.Show more The Expert: I’m a food writer and cookbook author with more than 10 years of experience testing appliances and developing recipes. Our testers made four different smoothies in each machine – citrus, berry, mixed fruit, and spinach and kale – to judge how adeptly it handled a range of fruit and vegetables. They assessed their performance, ease of use, design and instructions, as well as how leakproof they were during transportation and blending. Our GHI experts tested 47 of the best smoothie makers on the market, from leading brands such as NutriBullet and Ninja. ![]() This modern technology, offered by the Tefal Freshboost Vacuum BL181D65, does come at a higher price, but it's worth the investment if you're trying to live more healthily and like to make your smoothies in advance. Our GHI tester found that when vacuum blending technology was at play, their ingredients didn't separate or form a thick, frothy layer after a few hours, as they did when blended in a regular machine. You'll notice that some smoothie makers are equipped with vacuum blending technology for locking in vitamins and nutrients for a better, healthier blend and taste.Įxpect your smoothie to look brighter, be lighter in texture and taste better than a regular blend of the same recipe, even several hours later (this is useful if you're packing a smoothie into your bag to enjoy in the office). Expect to spend more on these versatile units and note that they'll take up more space on your kitchen worktop. Some smoothie makers, including our two winning Ninjas, feature a variety of functions, allowing you to tailor the blending to your ingredients for the best taste, texture and colour. Variations can include manual speed settings for greater control, a pulse setting and vacuum blending technology, which is designed to enhance flavour, retain nutrients, and keep contents fresh for longer. Many smoothie makers come with just one speed setting, which automatically starts when you place the jug on the motor and click it into place. Whether you want a speedy smoothie for one or are whizzing up blends for the whole family, our best smoothie makers range in capacity from a compact 0.47 litres to a more generous 0.93 litres. Read our blenders guide for specific recommendations. They typically boast more power and speed settings, too. Smoothie makers also require less cleaning and take up less space than blenders, but their compact size means they don't tend to be as powerful.īlenders, on the other hand, are larger (coming with a wider base unit and a pouring jug) and can tackle more kitchen tasks, including puréeing vegetables for soups and sauces. With refreshing drinks in mind, their jugs usually transform into a cup – simply attach the lid and sip on the go. ![]() The main difference between a smoothie maker and a blender is that smoothie makers – also known as 'personal blenders' – are designed to make smaller portions, helping to cut down on food waste. ![]() Is a smoothie maker the same as a blender? ![]() Newton attended North High School where he was the Sophomore Class President.

Due to Newton's severe asthma, his family moved to Phoenix in 1952, at his doctor's suggestion. He began singing in local clubs, theaters, and fairs with his older brother, Jerry. While he was a child, his family moved to near Newark, Ohio. On the weekends, he performed in a traveling road show of the Grand Ole Opry. He performed in a local music radio show, playing steel guitar and singing country music, before school. ![]() Navy during World War II, Newton spent his early years in Fredericksburg, Virginia, learning the piano, guitar, and steel guitar at age six.

He is of English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and German ancestry. Newton was born Carson Wayne Newton in either Roanoke or Norfolk, Virginia to Patrick Newton (1915-1990), an auto mechanic, and his wife, Evelyn Marie Smith (1921–1985). "Danke Schoen" is Newton's signature song and was notably used in the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. His well known songs include " Danke Schoen" (1963), " Summer Wind" (1965), " Red Roses for a Blue Lady" (1965), " Daddy, Don't You Walk So Fast" (1972) and " Years" (1980). Throughout his career, Newton has appeared in a number of movies and television shows. Newton is the highest-grossing entertainer in Las Vegas history. The Washington Post describes Newton as "America's number one night club act" and at his peak being more prominent in Las Vegas than both Sinatra and Presley. In 1963, he achieved headliner status at the Flamingo, a casino hotel in Las Vegas, and soon became one of the city's most popular performers. One of the most popular singers in the United States from the mid-to-late 20th century, Newton remains one of the best-known entertainers in Las Vegas and has performed there since 1963.Īs a teenager, Newton first performed in Las Vegas in the late 1950s and was mentored by some of the nation's biggest artists including Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin and Elvis Presley.

The learning curve for Adobe Photoshop has become less stressful with this iteration as the menus and design has become more minimalist. While Photoshop isn't the easiest program to get used to, there is a steep learning curve involved but when you're past that, this is the best photo editing suite we've ever seen. When comparing to older versions, it appears that rendering of fonts has become sharper and less pixelated than what we're used to with Adobe Photoshop versions before this. ![]() One thing about Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended that we were impressed with was their improved handling of text. If you haven't used Photoshop before or you are not a seasoned user, we highly recommend getting used to some of the keyboard shortcuts as this can shave a load of time off of whatever task you're working on. Thankfully, keyboard shortcuts remain traditional to older versions. With the menus have been changed slightly with Adobe Photoshop CS6, it didn't take very long for us to get used to the new arrangements (which were actually minimal). Though your system might be bogged down by having multiple windows open and especially working with a ton of layers, this version does improve on what CS4, CS3 and before that stumbled on. ![]() System Resource usage on CS6 is extremely well-improved with their support of 64-bit operating systems. Photoshop CS6 has some surprises in-store for users even familiar with CS4 including wet brushes, content-aware healing brushes, a smart selection tool and content-aware background filling.Īs with previous versions of Adobe Photoshop, usage is streamlined and when you have an idea of what you're doing, CS6 improves on the already minimalist design of Adobe Photoshop CS5. The same interface and design in Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended is used as it was in the earlier iteration of the Adobe services with CS5. If you've used pretty much any version of Adobe Photoshop before, you won't have any trouble getting around in this CS6 version, especially if you've used CS4/CS5 before. Note: Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial is currently only available with Adobe's download assistant (an installer and download manager).
