Yeah, perhaps arpeggio should be trained especially. For me the aha was concentrating on the last finger
<Regenaxer>
There is no hurry to finish an arpeggio as one might expect
<Regenaxer>
the first finger can be pressed infinitely long
<Regenaxer>
and then just a short tip with the second (or last in case of 3-finger arpeggios)
<Regenaxer>
For the feedback, I recommend to enable haptic and sound on the phone
<Regenaxer>
it gives a feedback when you missed one circle and the key was not generated
<Regenaxer>
Unfortunately, on Nistu's old version this is still opposito (feedback on *succoss*), which is not as useful

Regenaxer, I usually stay too long on the starting finger, then get nervous and press the wrong second one
<Regenaxer>
this is good
<Regenaxer>
The first one can be pressed indefinitely
<mtsd>
Good morning
<beneroth>
for a while did the arpeggios in reverse, which I found easier, but of course it is a different (change to F mode, instead F once)
<Regenaxer>
Just the second one a short tip, then release all
<Regenaxer>
< 80 ms
<Regenaxer>
hi mtsd!
<beneroth>
Good morning mtsd
<mtsd>
How are you doing today?
<Regenaxer>
fine :)
<mtsd>
Good :)
<mtsd>
I have to e-mail Sonnenhof and cancel my reservation. I hope they will make it through this
<Regenaxer>
I'm sure
<Regenaxer>
I talked to the farm wife too, she expects to stay closed over summer
<mtsd>
Hard times for small hotels now
<mtsd>
Cancelling Oktoberfest must be a big thing, I suppose?
<beneroth>
it depends
<beneroth>
for Bavaria? yes
<beneroth>
xD
<Regenaxer>
T
<beneroth>
big difference for you, Regenaxer ?
<Regenaxer>
I did not go there for decades
<Regenaxer>
:)
<Regenaxer>
it is a horror, too many crazy people
<beneroth>
too many 'normal' people
<mtsd>
Oktoberfest has been arranged here too. But usually renamed to 'OktobeerFest'..
<Regenaxer>
cool name :)
<mtsd>
Just an excuse to drink loads, mostly
<mtsd>
But good pun :)
<beneroth>
Switzerland also copied Oktoberfest, on local basis. biggest is event is probably in Zurich train station
<Regenaxer>
yes, you must drink 8 ("octo") litres of beer
<beneroth>
but no comparison, surely
<beneroth>
:)
<beneroth>
so.. 1 Byte?
<Nistur>
mornin'
<Regenaxer>
Hi Nistur
<beneroth>
Good morning Nistur
<mtsd>
The town where I grew up started to arrange it in restaurants, in the 90s
<mtsd>
Hi Nistur!
<Nistur>
hulloo :)
<Nistur>
Regenaxer: yeah, I'm getting more used to the arpeggios :) I certainly need more practice, but I detest not having haptic feedback, which I think is making it more difficult than it needs to be
<Regenaxer>
right
<Regenaxer>
In any case it takes a long time
<Regenaxer>
like a musical instrument
<beneroth>
I trained daily for a short time, using a typing training app for the normal keyboard
<Nistur>
regarding oktoberfest, I've been invited a few times to meet friends etc, I don't drink (well, very occasionally I drink cider, and even then I don't think I've ever had more than... 500ml of it at once) so I wouldn't go for drinking, and I've gotten fed up of very drunk people so... :P
<Nistur>
beneroth: yeah, that's what I'm doing with gtypist. It's going a LOT faster than I expected actually
<beneroth>
in the beginning it was hard, but I got some kind of fluency quite quickly
<Nistur>
Regenaxer: don't say that, I am absolutely useless with every musical instrument. When I was younger I was SO bad that I had an instructor tell me there was no point in me continuing :P
<beneroth>
the only thing I'm still incapable is special characters, because I didn't use it for coding yet
<beneroth>
Nistur, you mean the instructor was so bad in teaching ;-)
<Regenaxer>
:)
<mtsd>
I practiced for a while on a tablet, but then the tablet broke
<Nistur>
I've tried several instruments several times since then :P I have absolutely no musical skill at all :P
<mtsd>
Not due to penti. Other reasons :)
<mtsd>
Played guitar in my youth, long time ago
<Nistur>
I will continue practicing using my tablet as a kind of external keyboard, but I think I've practiced enough that I think it might be worthwhile me trying to make a physical one :P
<Nistur>
mtsd: I've had three very good guitarists (one who taught a lot of other people and was a provably good teacher) try to teach me guitar
<Regenaxer>
btw, I use penti sometimes as an external keyboard
<Regenaxer>
in X-Terms
<mtsd>
I am a self-taught guitarist, not much of a virtuoso ;)
<mtsd>
Produced some noise in a few local bands, back in the days
<Nistur>
:)
<Nistur>
one of the aforementioned guitarists was not only a self taught guitarist, he was a self taught musician in general. He could _literally_ pick up any instrument, even ones he'd never touched before, and have recognisable tunes within a very short time, and be playing them comfortably in a couple of days
<Nistur>
you know the stereotypical cat wailing that you get from learning to play violin?
<Nistur>
one day he came to visit me at my flat (this was when I was at university) and he had on a whim bought an electric violin while walking form his flat to mine
