      Its not personal, they get someone banned and then steal their artwork to sell themselves. The banned user has no recourse because they are locked out of the site. Its probably automated to a degree and Chinese in origin so good luck getting anything done about it. RedBubble probably don't care as long as they get their cut. I wouldn't touch online services like this with a bargepole, just not worth the hassle.

  • @SealeFamilyMinistries
    @SealeFamilyMinistries 3 года назад

    The anomaly with the inputs and outputs allows us to make a few guesses about the circuitry inside. The benefit is almost no added distortion in the signal path. It sounds like it has a group of 1:1 transformers on the signal path between the inputs and outputs. Then it is most likely simply combined to create a mono sum. Then possibly into a small amplification stage before or after the pot labeled sensitivity. From there probably on to a A-D converter and then logic unit on its way to the display. This makes it where it doesn't distort your signal, yet keeps the price down.

    I once had a Kawai GMega. You may or may not know this already (probably do), but it's a bit more than just a General MIDI module. It's possible to program patches based on the built-in rompler tones and filter params. There was a big archive of patches floating on Yahoo! Groups back in the day, and some of them actually sound really decent.
