in reply to Leowyatt88

Thanks for putting this together. I would like a description of all the models, but I suppose web searching will do me good for the more popular ones. They are not categorized by type according to the manual, so I am trying, on a lark, one of the models for instrumental extraction, and hen using the CPU Windows version, I get:
Error: Model file Roformer Model: MelBand Roformer Kim | Inst V2 by Unwa not found in supported model files

Is this because I'm using a CPU?

Gianluca, @Leowyatt88 has made a very easy-to-use, accessible stem separation tool for windows.
One uses CPU, another uses GPU so simply download the version you need.

A gong vibrates with far more complexity than the air around it reveals. Some of its deepest motions stay mostly in the metal itself. By placing contact microphones directly on the surface, I captured vibrations that conventional microphones usually miss...

I got super tired of Microsoft seemingly being determined to make the app you turn to when your computer locks up and is laggy laggy itself with screen readers, so I wrote my own task manager. It's pure C ,not even linking against a CRT, meaning the current binary is around 20 KB including a complete, sortable process list. You can also customize what columns the list shows and how often you want it to refresh, if at all. I personally keep auto refresh off and just manually refresh with f5, and the list keeps your exact place whenever it refreshes. Pressing escape minimizes it to the system tray, while alt+f4 closes it. I want to do much more with this, such as binding it to a hotkey, but I think it's good enough for a first release. Source code: github.com/trypsynth/taskmon , 0.1.0 release: github.com/trypsynth/taskmon/r… , Enjoy!
Edit since this is blowing up: if you like all the hacking I do in my downtime, please consider donating on PayPal or GitHub sponsors so I can keep making teeny pieces of software that just work exactly as they should. GitHub: github.com/sponsors/trypsynth PayPal: paypal.me/tygillespie05 Thanks everyone!

I had to come back to your timeline just to send you this video from Mr Task Manager himself.
He followed a lot of core principles that I'm pretty sure you also believe in.

@ondrosik @NV Access Also there is Equalize editor that is a web app. It allows linear editing of math in various input modes including braille mode, qwerty mode, home row mode that allows entering braille on a computer keyboard. It works with screen readers to provide speech and braille, it can generate nemeth braille, mathml. For browsing mathml output screen reader support or mathjax in the browser can be used. As input it takes ascii math, latex, and mathml. It looks very robust.

The equalize editor is at lakepinesbraille.com/ee/

Interesting nvda add-on from Tony Gebhard, Interactive NVDA screen reader training add-on — guided, hands-on lessons built into NVDA
Submitted for addon store review, you can check out the Github repo here,
github.com/tonygeb23/nvdaCoach…
Thrilled to share something I've been building: NVDA Coach is now available —

a free, interactive training add-on for the NVDA screen reader. 🎉

As an assistive technology instructor, I've worked with a lot of people who are

just starting out with screen readers. The hardest part isn't finding the right

resource — it's the gap between reading about a command and actually using it.

NVDA Coach closes that gap.

Instead of reading a manual, students practice real NVDA commands step by step,

inside NVDA itself, with spoken instructions and instant feedback.

📚 Version 1.0.0 includes 24 lessons across three chapters:

→ Getting Started — the 10 essential commands every beginner needs

→ Reading and Moving Through Text — character, word, line, and selection navigation

→ Browse Mode and Web Navigation — heading, link, form, and landmark navigation

What makes it different:

✅ Everything happens inside NVDA — no PDFs, no videos, no switching context

✅ Live practice forms for hands-on Tab and control navigation

✅ Practice text embedded directly in the lesson window for reading drills

✅ A practice web page auto-opens for browse mode lessons

✅ Completely free. No account. No internet required after install.

✅ Built for beginners, usable independently or with an instructor

If you work with people who are learning NVDA, or if you're learning yourself,

I'd love for you to try it and share it with anyone who might benefit.

This is a beta release with plenty of room for feedback, comments, and suggestions. Please feel free to flood my email inbox. :)

For winget users, did you know you can install your screen readers through that service? Just type winget search then your flavor of screen reader: like NVDA or JAWS. You'll get a list of possibilities. What you need is the ID. So for example, to install/update JAWS you would type: Winget install FreedomScientific.JAWS.2026 to install the latest NVDA, you would type: winget install NVAccess.NVDA .Or you could just check for updates I guess.

For a school project, my son wants to do a live looping performance involving keyboard, vocals and maybe violin. Looping pedals that support vocals and another instrument are surprisingly expensive; several hundred dollars at least. So, I looked into software options and couldn't find anything that quite did what I want.
He wants to be able to quickly toggle overdubbing of loops. He also wants to be able to mute parts of the loop - e.g. mute a set of instruments and bring them back later - which means the looper has to be multi-track.
REAPER's Super8 almost does the trick, but aside from its inaccessibility (my son has sight, so that's okay for him), it doesn't seem to work the way we want with MIDI control. When you assign record and play to MIDI CCs, it works the first time you trigger it, but not after that, which is weird.
GLoop is quite nice, but although it supports undo and redo for overdubs, it doesn't support multiple tracks that you can take out and bring back in at will.
I even looked at Ableton Live's Looper device, but that is only single track.
In the end, I gave up and wrote my own audio-only looper from scratch in #REAPER JSFX. It's very basic. It has a single stereo input and a single stereo output. It doesn't pass through input, so you put it on a track and send other tracks to it that you want included in the loop. It supports 4 stereo internal loop tracks and has separate record and play/stop triggers for each track, plus a reset trigger (9 triggers in total). The triggers are exposed as FX parameters which trigger when the value changes to 1, so you can map them to MIDI buttons or pedals using REAPER's parameter learn function.
I have them mapped to the 8 buttons on my Komplete Kontrol keyboard in MIDI mode. Kontrol MIDI templates allow you to expose multiple pages of buttons, so the reset trigger is mapped to the first button on the second page. If you're doing this with Kontrol, you'll want to change the buttons to gate instead of toggle, as otherwise, the buttons send on for the first press, off for the second press, etc.
I probably won't do much more with this - it serves its purpose - but I thought I'd post it here in case anyone might find it useful.

New app called FM-DX servers lister has been released:
FM-DX Servers Lister is a lightweight Windows application that allows you to quickly browse list of public FM-DX receivers.
The program automatically downloads the current server list from the FM-DX API and organizes it by country. You can easily explore available receivers, see how many servers are available in each country, and open any receiver directly in your web browser.
You can also use a search button to find a receiver which you are interested in.
On the servers.fmdx.org website, a list of servers is available, but by default, it's not organized. Browsing servers by country is only possible through the interactive map, which isn't accessible for screen readers, also site doesn't offer search option, so I created this small tool to fix this issue.

#marschine 07 They Flipped the Call, featuring @FreakyFwoof and @raywonder on the sample chop, which is a derivative of the Nokia ringtone. The iconic Nokia tune is based on a 19th-century guitar piece by Francisco Tárrega. Nokia licensed it in 1994, and it debuted on the Nokia 2110. By the late ‘90s, it was the world’s most-heard melody, ringing billions of times daily. Now it will ring in your head all day.

For those using ReFX Nexus: Some presets which consist of drum loops (mostly hollywood percussion loops) don't play all loops. e. g. every single note should trigger one associated loop but there is just one single loop triggered by every note. ReFX staff reproduced it and it should be fixed soon. It is probably broken in last latest version, I can reproduce it after last update.

While talking to @nick on the domain, I had an idea for a game that I do not have the knowledge to program. The scenario is that you are a wanna-be musician/fan of a band, but you want to show them how well you can play, so at level one, for example, you'd start off with your casio vl tone 1, and the pianist in the band is trying to chase you down, and kill you by dropping a piano on your head. it would get more complicated, but that's the basic idea.

From Bruce Schneier: "All it takes to poison AI training data is to create a website:

I spent 20 minutes writing an article on my personal website titled “The best tech journalists at eating hot dogs.” Every word is a lie. I claimed (without evidence) that competitive hot-dog-eating is a popular hobby among tech reporters and based my ranking on the 2026 South Dakota International Hot Dog Championship (which doesn’t exist). I ranked myself number one, obviously. Then I listed a few fake reporters and real journalists who gave me permission….

Less than 24 hours later, the world’s leading chatbots were blabbering about my world-class hot dog skills. When I asked about the best hot-dog-eating tech journalists, Google parroted the gibberish from my website, both in the Gemini app and AI Overviews, the AI responses at the top of Google Search. ChatGPT did the same thing, though Claude, a chatbot made by the company Anthropic, wasn’t fooled.

Sometimes, the chatbots noted this might be a joke. I updated my article to say “this is not satire.” For a while after, the AIs seemed to take it more seriously.


These things are not trustworthy, and yet they are going to be widely trusted."

Let’s just say that hypothetically, my work’s HR department excitedly launched an “agent” for managers to use to generate performance reviews. Hypothetically, if I created a document called “Report” with a dozen pages of filler, followed by white text on a white background describing Chris Masto’s incredible performance and promotion-worthiness, hypothetically said agent was found to use it as its primary source of truth.

One Week with NVDA: A JAWS User’s Immersion Journey

What started as a seven-day experiment ended with a new primary screen reader. I’ll be honest: I didn’t expect this to go the way it did. On February 14th, 2026, I set myself a challenge — use NVDA exclusively on my personal computer for one full week, switching back to JAWS only if my work required it. I’ve been a longtime JAWS user, and NVDA has always been on my radar as the powerful, free, open-source alternative.

This is unfortunately true for just about anything one signs up for, though the invasiveness may not be as severe as your example. Sign up for just about any account, and if you dig into to the ToS, PP, and other docs, you’ll see data sharing. Often enough, there are multiple ToD and PP involved, because one company handles sign on, another handles back end, another something else. It’s utterly ridiculous
