@calculsoberic there isnβt, i just wanted to make sure weβre not cutting a masterpiece short   @samhenrigold gimme gimme gimme  or, hear me out: πΆ With your lights, and your darks, and your wools, and your knits, @dgriffinjones @samhenrigold @Lunatic_Moth (this is a great tune to sing while trying to get cranberry stains out)  @samhenrigold hahaha I'd upload the entire suite of Deep Space Nine midis π :ablobwobble: awesome idea tho!!  @samhenrigold a few entries down I discovered the announcement that there's been a new version of the Wilhelm Scream digitized from original sources....  @samhenrigold what? Not Axel F from Beverly Hills Cop? Or that riff from Sweet Child of Mine?  after reading this I'm trying to imagine a thread on xda-developers with a custom firmware for a washing machine @grishka I found a reddit post and one of the comments had the phrase βbricked my dryerβ which was more than enough indication that i was in way over my head    @samhenrigold Iβm now having this dystopian vision where the home automation detects the front door opening, and a massed chorus of fridge, toaster, coffee-maker, washing machine, dryer, toothbrush and microwave oven burst into the opening movement of Beethovenβs 5th. @infinite8horizon π as you enter it rains rose petals from the ceiling :awesome: @samhenrigold  @bornach @samhenrigold  @infinite8horizon @bornach @samhenrigold And the MRI still works as expected! *Seriously* cool!  @samhenrigold I mean, now that you say that, my thought is to instead modify the MIDI playback so that each stage of the washing machine cycle plays a different MIDI during it, so that progress is audible (Using, for example, different looped sections of, say, this [ https://youtu.be/P3MBQciFeHo ]).   @samhenrigold Ohhhhhh, if I cloud flash new sounds on to the washer, the would would be a much better place.    @samhenrigold @Tourma @samhenrigold (un)fortunately mine is IoT so it sends me a smartphone notification and my watch vibrates on my wrist then @me @samhenrigold  @DelilahTech @Tourma @samhenrigold but then you don't have the value added features we're talking about @me @Tourma @samhenrigold sorry, all I can see is the ability to allow bad people to compromise my home network. @DelilahTech @Tourma @samhenrigold yeah I should probably make a "home automation" subnet at this point The tune mine plays sounds suspiciously like a numbers station transmission. I'd be genuinely afraid to open any part of it other than the door or the lint filter. π³π±π  @samhenrigold  @samhenrigold @foone Could you go a step further and adjust the agitate cycle to have a matching rhythm? @samhenrigold YES! I'd rather it play Popcorn. All of the versions, one after the other.  @samhenrigold ... I now want washing machine MIDI played through 80s/90s MIDI devices. I want a MT-32 washing machine.  @samhenrigold TOTALLY ! You spin me right round... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU @samhenrigold @sabik Iβd settle for the washing machine sound going off once it released the door, rather than a few minutes before anything can be done. @samhenrigold Sorry but you need to download the Samsung Samsings Companion Appβ’ where you can purchase Tide Tunesβ’ and upload them to your dishwasher (Subscription required).  @samhenrigold hearing the BeeGees "Staying Alive" after every laundry cycle indicates to me it has been a successful laundry session. βΊοΈ  @samhenrigold or disable the beeping altogether because it only annoys those who are out in the garden anyway, the rest of the house cannot hear the beeping from the basement @samhenrigold You may have mentioned it somewhere else and I just missed it, but what model is this that has the capability? Because I love this idea in general...  "Don't you forget about me" by Simple Minds would be a suitable track to play π @samhenrigold I think I'd go for literally anything other than the Trout Quintet with a random six-note jingle stuck on the end @samhenrigold One day I shall have a car that upon startup informs me: "REACTOR ONLINE @samhenrigold that would be cool and awesome and great i dont think anything will ever top the little jingle samsung washers have |
for the record, it would be the intro to Gimme Gimme Gimme.
