Anyway, that all said, the Wharmonator is a fantastic Whammy simulator and you can try out the demo here. It even took me a second to figure out how to get the Wharmonator to actually make a sound because it turns out I was putting it before the amplifier and not in front of it like you would with a real guitar pedal. This is all well and fine, but it takes a hot minute to navigate through all of IK Multimedia’s websites, interfaces, and so on. For instance, getting Amplitube through the IK Multimedia Product Manager was a bit confusing, and then I had trouble installing Amplitube’s Wharmonator in GarageBand.Įventually, I had to access it through the Desktop Application (which is another way of using it outside of a DAW). It shows the meat and potatoes of the pedal, so to speak.īut what I don’t like about the Wharmonator is how hard it is to figure out how to use Amplitube, including how to install the demo, and then get an actual sound from it. Check out the YouTube video above that I made. The Wharmonator is completely MIDI-assignable which means you can control it – while playing the guitar – with a MIDI expression pedal of some kind. I’ll make sure to show you where you can find each, and whether or not they’re demo-available. Even if they are paid software, they can usually be accessed for a short time via demos or free trials. Onto the 8 Whammy Pedal Plugins and VSTs…įor this article, I’ve included a selection of free and premium Whammy emulators which can be found in different places. I believe there are other pedals that can do the same thing, but you would have to look that up on your own. This pedal can be hooked up to your computer to essentially control the plugin with a real-life expression pedal right underneath your foot.īecause of its high price, it may actually make sense to just buy a real Whammy instead, but the iRig Stomp I/O does a lot more than act as a whammy. One thing I’d like to point out too is that you can use a MIDI/Expression pedal like the iRig Stomp I/O. If I had to do it again though, I’d probably get the Whammy DT instead of the Whammy IV, but it hadn’t been made at the time. Vocal Doubler is available for free download via iZotope (50.7 MB download size, EXE installer, 32-bit & 64-bit VST/VST3/AU/AAX plugin formats for Windows & macOS).No plugin can match the real thing I have here, however, there are some solid options. ![]() The plugin will also show up in your iZotope user account for future reference. Once the plugin is downloaded and installed on your computer, load it in your DAW of choice and enter the email address and serial number when prompted. On the following page, enter your email address and you will receive the serial number needed for activation. To register and activate your free copy of iZotope Vocal Doubler, visit the product page linked below and click the GET VOCAL DOUBLER button. Still, the sound quality makes up for the somewhat high CPU usage. The plugin consumes around 7% of available CPU resources on our Core i7-powered test machine, which is a bit higher than expected for this type of effect. ![]() The control scheme is convenient for the most part, although setting the stereo separation amount can be a bit fiddly when the modulation intensity is set to 0% or 100%. However, more extreme settings can sound very good when used on synthesized instruments like pads and strings, or if you’re looking to create intentionally artificial sounding vocals. The doubling effect sounds convincing and natural with just the right amount of pitch drifting when the modulation amount is set to around 50%. While testing Vocal Doubler, my impression was that moderate amounts of stereo separation and modulation worked the best for doubling lead vocals. See also: FREE Ozone Imager Stereo Widening VST/AU Plugin By iZotope! While the user interface isn’t resizable, it is large enough for comfortable use on high-resolution screens. The only other available controls are the mix knob, the solo button (which mutes the dry signal altogether), and the bypass switch for turning the effect on or off. The numerical value of both parameters is shown in the lower-left corner. The XY pad in the center of the interface controls both the amount of stereo separation and the modulation intensity of the doubled signal. Vocal Doubler sports a modern-looking user interface with a simple control scheme. IZotope has introduced Vocal Doubler, a freeware vocal doubling effect in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats for compatible digital audio workstations on PC and Mac.

![]() So far, these choices have come well below the hundred-dollar range. Add in one of the better housing designs for a set of lightning earphones, and the Rayz Plus becomes a no-brainer. All of this is selectable too, as the Rayz Plus is one of the few wired earphones to come with a companion app. With the Plus you get a ton of features, like noise-cancelation, auto-pause, and much more. The Plus is a bit more money at $59.99, with the original at $49.99, but when choosing between the two, I would say the Plus is worth the extra ten bucks. There are actually two versions of these earphones, the Plus and the original. You might be looking for more options like the Sennheiser AMBEO Headset, and the Rayz Plus from Pioneer is the closest option to it. With a comfortable fit and a great price of $49.95, the SI201 shouldn’t be missed out on. ![]() The SI201 has an impactful low-end signature that is both quick and gratifying. One of its advantages, though, is its bass response, bolstered by a 10mm dynamic driver. These are more like the Belkin in that they’re built to last with an aluminum housing and a stainless steel nozzle. Strauss and Wagner is sort of a favorite here at MajorHiFi, and they have their own set of lightning earphones. With this price, you may assume the SoundForm is just a cheap set of earphones, but Belkin makes sure they’re built to last for even more added value. The SoundForm is a budget-friendly earphone that costs only $29.35 for the white version and $41.14 for the black. Its flat cable keeps the earphones from tangling, and its fit is snug and supportive, keeping the housing from falling out of your ears. Although these aren’t as flashy as the AMBEO, the SoundForm is great for delivering a solid sound experience with no fuss. Unlike Sennheiser, Belkin might not be a brand you are familiar with, but they have been around for a while. For only $49.95, it is going to be hard to find a richer experience in wired lightning earphones than with the AMBEO Smart Headset. These earphones also have full IOS integration, as well as other notable features like NoiseGard ANC, and transparent hearing. If you don’t want to miss out on Apple Music’s Dolby Atmos tracks, the AMBEO is a good pick if you choose to go wired. You might know the AMBEO name used before for Sennheisier’s soundbars, as these earphones come with a ton of special features like 3D audio. The AMBEO is their straight-to-lightning earphone, and it is quite a special one. From professional studio headphones to some of the best Bluetooth earphones, anything with their name is always going to be a safe bet. You’re probably familiar with Sennheiser’s brand for its excellent catalog of headphones of all kinds. ![]() Of course, you can use an adapter, but there are also some affordable lightning earphones that we can inform you about. However, there are still those who may wish to use a wired set of earphones with their smartphone, and you may not be aware of all the options out there for lightning connections. You used to be provided with a set of Apple’s lightning earbuds with every iPhone, but those have been taken away as well.īluetooth earbuds are more common nowadays, especially Apple’s own Airpods which they announced a new version of along with the iPhone 14. For now, the iPhone is sticking with its lightning connection that we have become familiar with for many years now. ![]() Does this new iPhone have a headphone jack? The answer is no, unfortunately. When thinking about the iPhone as a music device, one question is always bound to come up. Earlier this week, Apple announced its latest flagship line of smartphones with the iPhone 14 in all of its variations. This technology only transmits video, not sound, but it is perfect for presentations at work.If you’ve been following tech news at all this week, you may have seen that there’s a brand new iPhone. Use this cable to output video to a monitor or projector that uses the VGA-input standard. It will work with any device that uses the 3.5 mm standard for audio, including external speakers. This dongle connects standard wired headphones to the iPhone or iPad through the Lightning port. The adapter also includes a Lightning port so you can charge your iPhone or iPad while it is connected to your TV. Not only will the adapter allow you to duplicate your device's screen on the TV, many apps like Netflix and Hulu work with the adapter to send full-screen video through it. This device is a great way to hook up your iPhone or iPad to your HDTV. Lightning-to-HDMI "Digital AV" adapter.This adapter comes in three variants: USB, Micro-USB, and USB-C for newer devices. While advertised for connecting cameras to your smartphone or tablet, the USB port supports a wired keyboard, a musical keyboard using MIDI or even a USB-to-Ethernet cable. Lightning-to-USB Camera Connection Kit. This device effectively gives your iPhone or iPad a USB port. Then find the value that most closely represents your present wind speed. To determine the wind chill temperature, find the value closest to your outside air temperature. For example, if the temperature outside is -5☏ (-21☌) and the wind chill temperature is -31☏ (-35☌), then your car's radiator temperature will be no lower than the air temperature of -5☏ (-21☌), although it may cool to that temperature faster than if there were no wind. It also means that inanimate objects like car radiators or water pipes will also not cool below the actual air temperature. Therefore, regardless of wind speed, no frostbite can occur with air temperatures above freezing, but hypothermia is still a danger. It is important to understand that wind chill is related to how quickly the body loses heat it does not mean things will cool below the actual air temperature. At this level, exposed skin can freeze in just a few minutes. However, when the wind is also blowing at 15 mph (13 kt / 24 km/h), then the wind chill temperature is -19☏ (-28☌). Frostbite occurs when your body tissue freezes the most susceptible parts of the body are fingers, toes, ear lobes, and the tip of the nose.įor example, if the temperature is 0☏ (-18☌) and there is no wind, it might take over 30 minutes for exposed skin to freeze. Hypothermia occurs when your core body temperature, normally around 98.6☏ (37☌) falls below 95☏ (35☌). The wind chill doesn't just make you feel colder than the actual air temperature – the lower the wind chill temperature, the greater and faster your risk for developing frostbite and/or hypothermia. Wind chill temperature is therefore based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold, and it can give you an approximation of how cold the air feels on your body. The wind chill is the effect of the cold wind on people and animals – as the wind increases, it removes heat from the body faster, driving down skin temperature and, eventually, internal body temperature. National Centers for Environmental PredictionĬold air alone can be deadly, but when the air is moving, it feels much colder.Preparedness and Mitigation: Individuals (You!).Preparedness and Mitigation: Communities.The Positive and Negative Side of Lightning.Sweating could lead to chill and hypothermia.

Get the person into dry clothing, and wrap them in a warm blanket covering the head and neck. If needed, use your own body heat to help. If medical care is not available, begin warming the person slowly. Uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speach, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. However, if the person is also showing signs of hypothermia, warm the body core before the extremities. If symptoms are detected, get medical attention immediately!

How to read the chart: find the wind speed on the left hand side, then move to the right until you find the column for the temperature. In other words, how cold it actually "feels". Wind chill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by the combined effects of the wind and cold. ![]() Windows 10 has defender to remove the virus files.Antivirus (if installed any) must be disabled while downloading and running this software.Installation is much easier than download steps.įollowing are some points that must be known before downloading and running the activator: It is very light in size, i.e., around 3.2MB only.ĭoes not require an internet connection during the installation.

I do, however, miss the covered eye holes. For a piece borrowed from an earlier era of the Joe line’s history, it fits surprisingly well on a modern style figure. The helmet is recycled from the DTC version of the Range Viper made towards the end of the Joe Vs. Of course, I’m never taking my Range Viper’s skull helmet off, so I don’t have to acknowledge that, once again, Cobra hit up Balaclavas’R’Us and bought out all the blue ones now, too. It’s something we’ve seen quite a few times already, but it at least works well with the helmet. Since he’s a Cobra trooper with a removable helmet, Range Viper reuses Beachhead’s head. I think it really added a bit to the Range Viper’s realism…well, as much realism as you can get from a trooper that wears a scary skull helmet into battle. When you’re out in the field and everything is based around on-site procurement, you’re going to want to make sure you don’t accidentally injure yourself while you’re out of range from the base for weeks at a time. ![]() A wilderness trooper would want to travel light, but at the same time, they’d want some added protection. I also like the added armor on the figure’s arms. I’m glad they used this as opposed to the Beachhead commando sweater look it was getting pretty stale by this point in the line. Range Viper’s upper body is shared with the really great 25th Anniversary Resolute Cobra Trooper. The parts used aren’t an exact translation of the original Range Viper’s look, but I think this design works a lot better than the original Range Viper, with his short, flared gloves and tight blue undershirt. The 25th Anniversary Range Viper is another one of those “spiritual” updates that populated the 25th Anniversary line. I missed out on the DTC update, but I’m really glad Hasbro gave Cobra’s wilderness survival specialist some attention in the Defense of Cobra Island set. That freaky helmet really spoke to my kid brain. One that really sticks out in my mind was the Range Viper. I always liked the more fantastical elements of the Joe line and, generally speaking, the Cobra figures were allowed to be a little more offbeat than the Joes. Don’t get me wrong, the Joe characters were great, but I thought the Cobra figures looked more striking. ![]() I don’t know why, but I’ve always had more of an affinity for the Cobra figures than the Joes. ![]() If your employer has provided you with online access, you can access your pay statements and W-2s at.

Then, in a magical moment, it dawned on me that many (now, most) of the songs/albums I was looking for were available on YouTube! And not as samples, but the whole song - the whole megillah, the whole enchilada. I used to fret that I simply would not be able to find many of the songs I needed to listen to, even in sample form, on the Internet. How close am I to completion of this even more ridiculous endeavor? Well, I’m not really sure. I don’t exactly remember how long it took me to finish this labor of love, but when I neared completion, I moved the goal posts - deciding that I would listen to every pop album, every song, released in the Sixties, throughout the world, no matter how long it took. The book is well worth the rather exorbitant price. I have been able to listen to the vast majority of the singles that hit the top 40 in the 60s after the British Invasion. ![]() With this book, and the music samples available on Amazon for most of the CD’s it sells, I have been able to go on a magical journey of discovery. It was fascinating to go through this book chart by chart and almost relive the 60s by following the rise and fall of singles. I posted a review of The Billboard Hot 100 Charts on Amazon on December 26, 2001, saying that: And these relatively new things called the Internet and Amazon (which was in the midst of making its first-ever quarterly profit - 1 cent a share!) let you listen to 30 second samples of the songs on many of the albums Amazon sold. But where was I going to dig up hundreds of weekly charts? And how was I ever going to locate and listen to all these songs? Well, I came across a wonderful book, Joel Whitburn’s The Billboard Hot 100 Charts: The Sixties, which reprinted Billboard’s Top 100 charts for each and every week from 1960 to 1969. made Billboard’s Hot 100 - in the 1960’s. Possibly as a form of therapy, I soon thereafter decided to listen to every song that charted in the U.S. I remember watching the TV dumbfounded and heartbroken, first in my office, then in a neighborhood bar following evacuation, as the day’s events unfolded. November 1970: Shortly before Paul McCartney files suit to dissolve the Beatles. Was I aware of any of these events at the time? Doubtfully. Pepper’s was released and about seven and a half when the Beatles broke up and tears were shed across the universe. I was a little more than a year old when the Beatles arrived in America and first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, about two and a half when the Beatles first played Shea Stadium, about four and a half when Sgt. If you go by Beatles years, I was born during the decade’s big bang - between the issuance in the UK of “Love Me Do” and “Please Please Me,” their first two singles. Either the Sixties truly represented a new Renaissance or they were merely the 20th century’s Hawaii Five-O - a mediocre cop show made transcendent by one of the greatest TV theme songs ever. And it was more densely saturated with great popular music than any other era. Why the 60’s? While I was a toddler/kid then, it was an era I just missed truly experiencing, one in which the United States and the UK were widely perceived to have transmogrified from black & white to color. It is coming up on the 20th anniversary of the start of my still ongoing quest to listen to every pop/rock/soul song released or recorded in the “Sixties” (roughly 1963 through 1970 (as there was no year 0!)).

There are also interesting patterns outside of this fairly routine cycle that may be of interest to space weather scientists (e.g. This is a fairly repetitive behavior and is something we can see visually in the data’s output, but we don’t have a programmatic means of detecting these cycles and labeling the output data for further analysis. Once space weather conditions heat up, the magnetosphere contracts in size and a “wave” of electrons spills out of the magnetosphere. As space weather conditions are calm, the magnetosphere expands in size in terms of the distance in Earth radii. There’s a typical pattern of behavior in the plasmasphere that makes itself evident in the electron number density of the magnetosphere-a pattern of fill and spillage of electrons from the magnetosphere. Jacob Bortnik of the University of California – Los Angeles (UCLA), have used the data collected from these probes to predict the state of the entire magnetosphere (as opposed to uneven spatial sampling from the THEMIS probes) at 5-minute increments using deep neural networks. NASA ‘s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), referencing and working with Dr. This quantity-derived using data from the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms ( THEMIS) probes-is sampled unevenly in space and time as the spacecraft orbits Earth. The behavior of the Earth’s magnetosphere could be studied by understanding it’s electron number density. Better understanding of the science of the magnetosphere helps improve space weather models. Additionally, space weather within the magnetosphere can sometimes have adverse effects on space technology as well as communications systems. If Earth’s magnetosphere disappeared, a larger number of charged solar particles would bombard the planet, putting power grids and satellites on the fritz and increasing human exposure to higher levels of cancer-causing ultraviolet radiation. The magnetosphere protects the Earth from the charged particles of the solar wind and cosmic rays that would otherwise strip away the upper atmosphere, including the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Understanding the dynamical behavior of these various magnetospheric components is important scientifically and socially in that the near Earth space environment can impact human life and technological systems in dramatic ways. Previous work has used a variety of methods for analyzing this behavior using physics-based models and others – with more recent work exploring data-driven approaches (Bortnik et al, 2016). The components of the magnetosphere – ionosphere, plasma waves, and others – interact with one another in subtle and non-obvious ways. The Earth’s magnetosphere (Figure1) is a complex system that is driven by the solar wind – or the continuous flow of charged particles from the Sun. Are there any patterns and trends hiding in the numbers across time? Are there any interesting statistics behind the data? Let’s find out!Ĭheck out our website and dashboard to start your journey of exploring the mysterious Magnetosphere! This project is aimed to utilize data science to get to know the Magnetosphere by exploring the electron number density across space and time. Similarly, understanding the Magnetosphere and it’s temperament are very crucial for us to deal with anomalies, make predictions for the future, and be prepared when there is disturbance and interference. Think about how you deal with your parents or your friends when conflicts arise, you have to know and understand their behavior and temperament well before finding a solution. When abnormal activities happen in the Magnetosphere, it is known that satellites, aircrafts and space stations undergo interference, but it also directly impacts our life–for example, the telecommunication networks can suffer interruptions.
