 * Please add ideas for tutorials, which you really need, things you want to be explained...
 * A tutorial on using sequencers would be fine. The user's manual only tells you what the sequencer modules can (or should) do, but *not* how to connect them to your instruments (fi., how do I use the Modulation4 sequencer of the Classic Modular Collection, or the SQ16...?)
 * A tutorial about the use of Event tables, because NI isn´t offering very much info in the manual.
 * A tutorial on translating DSP theory, C++ Code, and/or electronic schematics into Core Technology.
 * A tutorial designing a step sequencer in Reaktor 5.] ==
 * A tutoria on how to build your own delay, echo, reverb and so on would be fantastic! like a step by step guide
 * Oh Jesus, how do I even get it to record what I'm playing?
 * Sample-based manipulation, guide to both the basics and the advanced granular techniques, and FFT processing in Reaktor...
 * CPU usage - reduction tips and techniques.
 * A tutorial on the different Delay modules and their applications and perhaps including an example of a Delay module built around Core
 * A newbie/dummy-guide for Reaktor 5 would be very helpful. The tutorial in the documentation is usefull, but all I can build now is the tutorial-synth, and I don't understand much more than that...
 * A tutorial on polyphony. This is very complex and counterintuitive, especially for those of us who learned "MAX"
 * A tutorial on live-manipulation of vocals, like pitchchanging, changing formants, creating harmonies and all that ...!

Wikijunior:Languages/Croatian

What writing system(s) does this language use?
The Croatian language is written in its own version of the Latin alphabet, like English. Unlike English, however, Croatian does not have the letters Q, W,Y and X.

Croatian has some letters which are not found or differently pronounced in English:
 * Č (is pronounced as ch in church)
 * Ć (is pronounced similar to Č, but a little bit softer)
 * Đ (is pronounced as j in jacket)
 * DŽ (is pronounced as G in George)
 * Š (is pronounced as sh in ship)
 * Ž (is pronounced as s in measure)
 * LJ (is pronounced as ll in million)
 * NJ (is pronounced as n in monument)
 * J (is pronounced as y in yes)
 * C (is pronounced as ts in boots)

Croatian alphabet has 30 letters.

How many people speak this language?
Around 5 to 7 million people speak Croatian (click here to learn about Croatia). Most Croatian speakers live in Croatia but many also live in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Serbia and other countries.

Where is this language spoken?
Croatian is spoken in Croatia, and in some parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly the south-west.

What is the history of this language?
The Croatian language belongs to the group of languages that are called Slavic. These languages have many commonalities, some of which are similar word roots and similar grammar. It is for this reason why scientists think that all Slavic languages originated from one Protoslavic language, that people spoke a long time ago (before 1000 A.D.) As time passed, the language spread, and people in different countries began to speak it differently.

Who are some famous authors or poets in this language?
Marko Marulić, Antun Vrančić, Ivan Česmički, Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić, Tin Ujević, Antun Gustav Matoš, Dobriša Cesarić.

What is a simple song/poem/story that I can learn in this language?
Croatian:

Sretan rođendan ti, sretan rođendan ti, sretan rođendan dragi Marko, sretan rođendan ti.

English:

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Mark, happy birthday to you.

AppleScript Programming/Scripting other applications

AppleScript can be used with other applications using the "tell" command. The tell command means to send a message to an application.

Anything written under that will be executed in the application Safari. So if we wanted to tell Safari to activate, we'd type:

The "end tell" command will let AppleScript know that it has reached the end of the command. Also, make sure that the name of the application is in "quotes".

You can also shorten the command above to simply this:

Of course what Safari is for is getting content off of the web. The following example code activates Safari and has it open a particular web page.

Or instead of telling Safari to open a location, we could tell the Finder to and instead of our script specifying that Safari be run, the Finder would pick the default web browser and run that instead.

Notice that in the example above, we did not tell the Finder to activate. This means that the Finder didn't need to become the frontmost application. It just needed to be running, which is always is, and open the default web browser, which could be Firefox.app which doesn't even support AppleEvents. The Finder processed the tell-message and did the required action.

One thing that AppleScript is good at—why it was developed—is to combine the functionality of different Mac applications and let the user make new software without "reinventing the wheel"

Application Numbers
In the script below a range of cell values are read from the variable myTable which contains a reference to a table in an active document. It reads the values horizontally within the range, according to the reading direction of the language.


text:
AppleScript Programming/System Events

One of the many things that can be used with Applescript, is System Events. To use the System Event application, you must first give it a " " command.

This will tell applescript to execute commands associated with the program System Events. For example, the command:

Will type the letter "e" into the current application.

Here's a simple program:

It will open the application TextEdit, start a new document, and type the phrase "Support Wikibooks!"

You can also use  (note that there are no quotes) to type a tab, and   to enter a new line.

Which will create a new document with Support Wikibooks! and by donating, on another line.

Now you may be wondering, How do I perform key combinations like command+q (Works with other modifier keys, like option, and control)

Key combos is a three line code consisting of

You can also hold down many keys at a time using the augment of key down and key up but separating keys using commas

Here is a program that will open text edit and then quit it using command+q:

You can also use one line commands for keystrokes, such as: Which will invoke Copy in most Mac applications.

It is possible to use combokeys in oneline like this:

GIMP/Fractal Explorer

Fractal explorer should be located in your scripts menu at the top of your image window. If you don't have this entry on your copy of GIMP, you might find it under: Filters > Render > Fractal Explorer. Alternatively, This tool may not be installed in your copy of The GIMP, but can be acquired by either installing the newest version, or installing the script separately.

The Fractal Explorer window allow you to render a fractal from a list. You can change the perspective, zoom, colors, and color depth to customize your fractal from the original defaults.

By itself, it can be used to create some very impressive designs, but combined with other tools and filters, very complex patterns can be made.

GIMP/Channels

Channels are very similar to layers, however, each layer corresponds with a particular level in the color model of the image (RGB, HSV or CMYK). Channels can be selected in any combination, and are shaded gray if currently active. You can also view and edit the channels separately, making changes to a single color while viewing the full-color image in your image window. Choosing what channels to display is done the same way as choosing what layers to display. Simply click the box next to it, and an eye will appear, indicating that the channel is displayed. Keep in mind, a channel can still be edited even if it is not displayed. This can lead to problems if you don't catch it early, and may require undoing a large number of edits to fix.

At the time of this writing, GIMP only supports the RGB (Red, Blue, Green) and the HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) representation of the color model. CMYK isn't natively supported by GIMP, but a plug in giving some functionality is available at the website below.

http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml

The GIMP also supports the adding of custom channels allowing for even more advanced editing.

Linear Algebra/Matrix Inverses

An n-by-n matrix A is the inverse of n-by-n matrix B (and B the inverse of A) if BA = AB = I, where I is an identity matrix.

The inverse of an n-by-n matrix can be calculated by creating an n-by-2n matrix which has the original matrix on the left and the identity matrix on the right. Row reduce this matrix and the right half will be the inverse. If the matrix does not row reduce completely it does not have an inverse.

Example
Let $$ \mathrm{A} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & 4\\ 2 & 5 & 8\\   3 & 6 & 9 \end{bmatrix}$$

We begin by expanding and partitioning A to include the identity matrix, and then proceed to row reduce A until we reach the identity matrix on the left-hand side.

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & 4 & \big| & 1 & 0 &0\\ 2 & 5 & 8 & \big| & 0 & 1 &0\\ 3 & 6 & 9 & \big| & 0 & 0 &1 \end{bmatrix}

\rightsquigarrow

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & 4 & \big| & 1 & 0 &0\\ 0 & -3 & 0 & \big| & -2 & 1 &0\\ 0 & -6 & -3 & \big| & -3 & 0 &1 \end{bmatrix}

\rightsquigarrow

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & 4 & \big| & 1 & 0 &0\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & \big| & 2/3 & -1/3 &0\\ 0 & -6 & -3 & \big| & -3 & 0 &1 \end{bmatrix}

\rightsquigarrow

$$

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 4 & \big| & -5/3 & 4/3 &0\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & \big| & 2/3 & -1/3 &0\\ 0 & 0 & -3 & \big| & 1 & -2 &1 \end{bmatrix}

\rightsquigarrow

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 4 & \big| & -5/3 & 4/3 &0\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & \big| & 2/3 & -1/3 &0\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \big| & -1/3 & 2/3 &-1/3 \end{bmatrix}

\rightsquigarrow

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & \big| & -1/3 & -4/3 &4/3\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & \big| & 2/3 & -1/3 &0\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \big| & -1/3 & 2/3 &-1/3 \end{bmatrix}

$$ The matrix $$ \mathrm{B} = \begin{bmatrix} -1/3 & -4/3 & 4/3\\ 2/3 & -1/3 & 0\\   -1/3 & 2/3 & -1/3 \end{bmatrix} $$ is then the inverse of the original matrix A.

Wikijunior:Languages/Playing with language

We've looked at lots of existing languages from all around the world, but if we really want to have fun with languages then we have to do more than just look; we have to play as well. Imagine if you could talk to your friends in your own private language that no one else knew. Or imagine speaking a language where everything you said sounded silly, or grumpy, or smart. Or imagine making up your own special words for all the things you see around you. In this chapter we'll find out how to do all these things and more.

Languages are like the recipes for cakes. You start off with a whole bunch of different ingredients and then the recipe tells you how to mix them all together. In a cake you might use some flour and some eggs, a little bit of milk and butter and then maybe some chocolate. In a language you use sounds and words and when you mix them all together you end up with a sentence. And just like in a cake it is important how you combine the ingredients. If you put too much water in your cake you will end up with a slimy sludge instead of a cake. In a language if you don't put your words in the right order, if you don't follow the language's recipe, then you end up with a slimy sludge too. Let's try it with a simple sentence:

If we didn't follow the recipe we might get:

The moon is made of bright green cheese.

Cheese is made of the bright green moon.

Green made of the moon is cheese bright.

And these are just two of the silly sentences you can make by not following the recipe for the language correctly. Try some more by yourself, for example you could try saying it in reverse order—starting with the last word and going to the first. No matter how you rearrange the words, there is only one correct recipe that says that the moon is made of bright green cheese. Some of the other recipes make sentences that make sense but don't say what we want them to say, but most recipes just end up being silly. The "recipe" of a language that determine which words go where, and what they mean is the syntax.

Without even realizing it, you already know the recipe to one language—English. You know that putting words in some orders makes sense but in others it doesn't. But imagine if you only ever had one kind of cake. It would get boring. It's the same in languages: the more different language recipes you know, the more fun it is.

If you wanted to make a language recipe there are two different ways you could do it. The first is to get an existing language recipe (for example, English) and use it to make a language cake, putting lots of icing on it so that nobody other than you and your friends know that underneath the icing it is really the same old cake. The other is to make a whole new recipe from scratch. Because it is easier to add icing to a cake that already exists rather than bake a whole new one, we'll start with that.

Putting the icing on our language cake
''Nac uoy daer siht ecnetnes? eno siht tuoba woH?''

If you can read English then you can read these sentences – but you might need a hint. When we write a normal word, we start at the left side of a word and keep writing until we reach the right side. But what if we started on the right side and wrote to the left—what if we wrote words backwards? Try reading the sentences above again, but this time read all the words backwards. You might find it easier if you try writing them down.

So what did that say? Did it make sense? Try reading the second sentence again but this time instead of reading each word backwards read the whole sentence backwards. Now try saying it out loud. What does it sound like? Is it difficult to say? Why are some of the words hard to say but some of them are easy? We'll find out in a later section.

You can use talking or writing backwards as a secret language for you and your friends.

Making a language recipe from scratch
Remember the chapter on Quenya? Well, it was a language recipe that J.R.R. Tolkien made up. He spent a large part of his life making Quenya and never really finished it, but don't worry: while the language recipes we make here will not be complete like real languages, they will still be usable, so you will be able to say simple things to your friends with them, without anybody else knowing what you are saying.

 * I think its still the right place for now. I would do it myself, but being new at it I hestitate to ban anyone yet until I've had a chance to discussion with someone more experienced at it then I on when and how long is appropriate. Maybe another admin will notice this soon. I haven't really notice any admin activity so far today besides my own. --darklama 21:22, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

This is still the correct place to report vandalism, we just don't have enough active admins to monitor this page or any page, for that matter) at all times of the day. Sometimes, things like this don't get discovered until well after the fact. That's part of my rationale for trying to recruit more admins. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 22:30, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Interesting discussion. However could someone look at a block please.  This is a repeat vandal if you look at the contributions.  My view (FWIW) a week's block should catch their next attempt which hopfully will put them off. Thanks -- Herby  talk thyme 10:55, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I think there is no need to do so as Wikipedia does it much better. I always check an IP both in a WHOIS service and in Wikipedia, where you can often find interesting things, like that the IP belongs to a school or is an open proxy. --Derbeth talk 11:24, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * From what I can tell this page seems to have a bit of a vandalism history. Perhaps it should be simi-protected so only registered users can edit it? --darklama 22:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Worth a block? 2nd lot of vandalism today - warned by Swift earlier -- Herby talk thyme 14:08, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, this isn't really a prolific vandal and I'm not overly enthusiastic about blocking IPs as they may be shared. The A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook/Block doesn't help really. --Swift 14:24, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem and as much a heads up as anything else. I did put something on the talk page of the handbook about clarifying the checking of IPs (nothing happened) -  has some info.  Mind you another reason no one should give me the "tools"  -- Herby  talk thyme 14:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

He came back after I blocked him for several weeks. As an FYI, his block is now infinite and people should watch for anything he tries to do under another alias. As many of us have seen, he has an affinity for cats. -within focus 19:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I see that Derbeth took care of it and blocked this user indefinitely, since he /she didn't mention it here, I thought I'd go ahead and do so. --dark lama  13:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

 * As I see he was back again can the checkuser facility be used on this as this is now the third lot of vandalism by this method. Equally RC folk should be keeping an eye for similar names -- Herby  talk thyme 09:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Why? This IP does only vandalism in the period of half year. It belongs to United Arab Emirates, considering that the edits don't look like human-done and DNSstuff says it might be an "exploitable server", I will block it longer. Considering possible profits and losses, I don't think we have many potential editors from the Emirates. --Derbeth talk 20:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Definately not the same people. Different IP addresses for each. I've blocked the source IP addresses for 1 day each, but this is a distributed attack. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 01:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I take it you are referring to Mumble err umm ( talk | email | contribs )? Would this be a case where checkuser tools would come in handy; checking the user IPs (tools allow that, right?) and see if these match. --Swift 02:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

== Miracle Worker Number 16 ( talk | email | contribs ) ==

And another mumfun attempt. Is there anything that can be done about this - getting predictable. I've sp'd some of the templates again and been round with the broom -- Herby talk thyme 08:13, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, in the section above, I asked if someone with checkuser could see which IP address the mumfum vandal came from. If they can, then we could block editing and user creation coming from that address. Whiteknight has checkuser, right? I'll check who is and ask for their help on their talk pages. --Swift 20:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Made checkuser for this one and Mumble err umm. Mumble err umm was using the same IP as A. Skrou. I blocked the IP for one week. Unfortunately, both accounts (Miracle's and Muble's) are from different parts of the US so I assume use of infected computers. --Derbeth talk 20:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
