That time period has since been shortened to five days, he said. The first Globemaster crew qualified in 10 days. The Night Operations Team started five NVG training programs, Smith said. “The idea was to see if we could introduce NVG operations into the ‘slick’ (non-special operations airlift) community.” “It became evident that we had to rule the night,” he said. The AMC formed a team to begin training C-17 crews in night operations in the fall of 2001, just before the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, Smith explained.

To operate at night, the C-17 crews wore binocular-style AN/AVS-9 (F4949 Series) NVGs, produced by ITT Industries Night Vision, of Roanoke, Va. “But we’re pretty sure that was coalition fire.” “My co-pilot saw some flares off to the south,” Meloeny said. “Of course, that made it more difficult for us to see our leaders,” he said.”Īs it turned out, the crews saw little sign of Iraqi forces. The aircraft turned down their lights as much as possible to make it harder for them to be seen by enemy ground forces, Meloeny said. It wasn’t until we were in-flight that the final call was made.” We had a number of different forecasters telling us different things. “There were huge sand storms coming from the south. “We needed to be able to see the drop zone,” he said.

The drop included about 20 airmen who, once they hit the ground, rapidly prepared the airfield to be used by U.S. The eight-hour nighttime flight from Italy’s Aviano Air Base was the first time that the Globemaster was used to insert paratroopers during combat. forces when neighboring Turkey refused to allow them to pass through its territory. Within a few days, a full brigade-the Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade, based in Vincenza, Italy-was on the ground in the Kurdish-controlled region, which had been denied to U.S. In April 2003, in one of the largest airborne operations since Normandy, C-17s dropped more than 1,000 paratroopers at night into Northern Iraq to seize an enemy airfield.

Additionally, these effects can be re-ordered any way you like, so you can make unconventional moves like sending your delayed signal into your compressor. Options here include standards like reverb, compression, EQ, and a variety of traditional modulation and gain-based effects.Įach of these effects can be tweaked, and the envelope and LFO profiles from the modulation panel can be applied to the knobs to create some wild effects. If your native language is electric guitar, you can think of this panel as a pedalboard for your synth. The secondary panel offers a built-in suite of effects that can be applied to your waveforms post-modulation. Mappable moulation to virtually any knob within Serum.Manipulatable decay and sustain parameters for envelopes.Additionally, the macros will automatically switch to control different parameters when a preset is applied. Using this feature, you can alter the effect of something as simple as a volume knob to instantly transform it into a tremolo system with custom parameters. It may not seem like the flashiest feature, but it’s one that allows endless customization. You can map the envelopes LFOs to virtually any knob in the software – a feature that may be a little tricky for beginners to understand, but which is nonetheless incredibly useful. Serum offers the ability to create a variety of envelopes and LFO profiles on the main panel, too. Modular Modulation Serum Modular Modulation Pan and level knobs for each oscillator.Manipulatable waveforms for custom sounds.You can even layer detuned copies of your waveform to create width and blend the copies with your original signal.Įach oscillator can be set independently for a wide range of quick options, and each table can be saved and reloaded for other projects. You can start with the initial sine wave, or load presets and tweak them to your heart’s desire. The smaller panels marked OSC A and OSC B are visual representations of the wavetable technology that Serum is built on, and allow you to manipulate the waveform. This is done via the oscillation panel, and it’s where you’ll spend most of your time in the plug-in’s interface. Serum’s core feature is its ability to create complex wavetables. The user interface is broken down into a series of panels for ease of use, so we’ll cover the features panel by panel. Unlike sample-based synthesizers that seek to reproduce the sound of specific instruments, Serum allows you to create sound using the fundamentals of wavetable synthesis to create virtually any sounds you want. Between ease of use and the ability to dig into sound sculpture, Serum’s reputation is well deserved. The tech-savvy can make their own presets (and wavetables), which are stored for quick use later. Serum is packing some serious customization options under the hood, but for less experienced users who just want something musical, there are over 450 presets available from the start. Composers who like to map out their midi tracks meticulously can use Serum as an overlay to cycle through sounds, while musicians who prefer to play in real-time can use their preferred control devices to manipulate the keyboard within their DAW. Overallīest for: Producers, engineers, and musicians of all skill levels can get a lot of mileage out of this plug-in.

Since you KNOW there will be no sales, you can make the economic and artistic decision about Serum being for you, or not. You buy a new Subie, and they donate $250 to the charity (from a list) you nominate. What they do do each year in December is have a "Share the Love" event. I say "rubbish." I don't mean "pay more than necessary." What I do mean is "support vendors who resist this stupid sales/marketing B.S." Here's an example of a major manufacturer who I support, in part, for this very reason: Subaru (I'm on my second, and they last a LONG time). We've become so used to "sales" that we won't buy something when it's not on sale. That's one of the problems with the American way. I'm becoming a fan of Steve Duda though, and I've played with the Serum demo. Smallstonefan I checked out the site and it does look interesting. ![]() Keep in mind that this console generation started less than two decades after the first consumer color television broadcast. Other features such as color graphics, single player modes, and the ability for a console to generate even a simple beep for audio were sometimes included, but were by no means universal. Systems often made more with less by asking players to attach overlays to their television sets, and other tricks to make the most out of limited hardware capabilities.įeatures many would consider fundamental today, such as automatically keeping scores, are not a given and are frequently left for the player to keep track of. Systems this generation are often capable of drawing just a few lines or dots on a television screen, and little more. ![]() Though these are not always universally true for a generation, they help give a big picture impression of what the industry valued at the time, and how things were changing.Īs an emerging technology, designers struggled to simply make an interactive device that plugs into a television, let alone design complex games for them. When a generation is mentioned in this book, prevailing industry movements will be brought up under Trends. Besides time of release, generations are typically classified using factors such as the technologies used, social factors, economic conditions, and other influences. However they aren't entirely baseless either. However it's important to note that this system is by no means the only one, and it definitely isn't the correct one in many academic contexts.Īs stated previously, console generations are fairly arbitrary. This is because the system used by Wikipedia is widely used casually by the general public and news outlets. Going forward in this book this book will generally share its console classification system with the system used by Wikipedia. While console generations are arbitrary, they still help with understanding consoles historically, so this book uses them. After this definitions quickly get out of sync with each other Keep in mind that people classify game console generations as more of an art than a science, and there is no formal industry or academic organization which classifies consoles by their generation. Though there are a number of definitions of which generation a console belongs to from here on out, most at least agree that the home consoles here belong to the first generation. Home game consoles as they are known today have to start somewhere and this is it.
