Hello again!
It's been over a year since my last post (Pure Drumming). I started Electric Penguinland as a series of notes-to-self, to write up things that were difficult to discover online. I'm glad people have found the odd thing I've posted useful, so I'm picking up with the article that I was planning to start last year with: replacing the tuners on a Yamaha Pacifica.
This is my justianianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02876077055591144551noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637061929524336435.post-69023624059453813082015-01-28T01:18:00.003+00:002022-03-22T16:02:41.956+00:002015

Recently I thought it would be nice to create some drum tracks to play with. "No problem!" You say, "Use Hydrogen." This is a start, but what if you don't know much about drumming and find clicking beats on a track comes out a bit flat? The first thing to come to mind was to try some MIDI pads, but that justianianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02876077055591144551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637061929524336435.post-10135579209260925092013-10-11T00:37:00.002+01:002022-03-22T16:03:05.855+00:00MathJax postsMy posts on the string bend calculator used MathJax to display the equations used. But I ended up struggling a while to get them to work on mobile devices. The problem is this: typically MathJax loading needs to go into the document head, but that means editing your blog template.
There are three problems with loading MathJax in your blog template.

Guitar pitch pipes, Wikimedia
If you play guitar then you need to tune it from time to time, unless you're deeply in to experimental music.
It's possible to tune by ear using tuning forks or pitch pipes. Tuning by ear is a useful skill and it's what orchestral players often do (because some instruments like pianos cannot be retuned easily, so you have to tune to match them).
