Pizzicato in musescore5/19/2023 I was able to keep the volume down on my Violin pre-amp & think it's why I haven't had to change the batteries, yet. Thanks for recommending (in the earlier thread) I explore everything about the Mini Spark capabilities before getting into PreSonus - it's saving me some hair-pulling at the moment! Of course I picked ones in my favorite keys (Em & Dm). It was FUN playing with the different virtual amp characteristics and EXTREMELY relaxing to just play along/simple improv with the jam tracks! Started looking over PreSonus Studio One earlier, but ended up spending most of the evening playing with different amp patches and some available jams - all just on the Mini Spark. yep, had to turn on my phone location to get it to connect! That was all. □ and STILL couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the Spark app, on my phone, to connect to the amp - could play with the amp, but wanted to play with the settings. Had to straighten out PreSonus & Positive Grid - lingering stuff from when I had registered my original Spark 40, plus Kevin had different psswds on one PC. OMG! Another evening started off with fiascos! Won't be happy if I go through batteries every other day, but I'm not sure it's possible to use anything other than rechargeable batteries & I'll have to stop & unscrew the cover each time! □ This pre-amp design on the Glasser AE Violins needs an update! we'll see! Here's where I started investigating these apps & my Mini Spark amp, to begin with:Ĭurious about how long my batteries for my pre-amp on Mortimer will last - I played a long time last night. I haven't practiced tonight, yet - been going over what I've previously looked into about the Spark app & PreSonus. it would really be nice if there was a spot on the forum, designated for/about the use of Electric string instruments and associated equipment! Madmartigan slept through it all, but Bugsy showed me his 'what were you thinking?' expression & left the room. Very weird hearing sound coming out of the speaker while I played - but sounded FABULOUS - plenty of reverb! Of course I don't want to sound like an electric guitar for everything, but think it might be just what I've needed to get me out of the dreary mood I've been in. Was worried about feedback - so I set the amp up where I normally have my phone recording (arms reach) and pointed it away from me. My phone ran out of juice, so I continued on with just the amp's presets. Had a riot trying out the Snow Waltz (Lindsey Stirling) I played for the Christmas Party & of course I had to play Joli Rouge (the Dreadnoughts)! Kevin was supposed to help me try out different features on the app & he spent a lot of time, but couldn't figure out why some weren't working - wasn't until he quit that I realized it might be that he never logged in. I sent my older Spark 40 (un-used) out to my Brother - which he enjoyed.įelt good, like a little kid, playing around with my pre-amp knobs that came with Mortimer & some of the settings on the amp - 1st thing Kevin had me play was part of Iron Man (Black Sabbath)! □ went back to my Glasser 5-string AE Violin, "Mortimer" & plugged him into my new Mini Spark amp! It's the wee hours of the morning, just settling down, but I had a lot of fun earlier! FINALLY. I started last night, and plan on continuing down this path - so, figured I'd move my OP to here & keep a log, open to discussion, of course!
