North Carolina person here and yes, all of that going to mexico/elsewhere did lower the quality of everything, as well as the expectation that furniture should be cheap. Highpoint …

Yeah you are absolutely not alone. I was lucky enough to have a startup make it about seven years ago. I do not think I could do it in today's environment AT ALL and also don't kno…

I don't post here much because I tend to hate the comments. When someone has shared a blog where I referenced mental health once, I was called out for it as "one of those people" a…

I am probably the most commercially successful user of the multiprocessing module :) It's basically fine anywhere you need a function call that you can dispatch out to like 50 or 5…

I could write a few pages here and hope maybe they can help someone. Leaving the industry has been a hard adjustment (years) - but folks can get through it. I've been thinking abou…

no videos at this time, there are source codes all the tracks in git (linked below the soundcloud player on the homepage) - and that should give an overview. Basically I'd be talki…

Not sure if that is exactly the answer, but frustration with sheet music is kind of why guitar tab also exists... except I don't play guitar. The Roman numeral analysis is somewhat…

Yes you can definitely do non-musical thing without thinking, you should in that case maybe just not do those things if you know better :) Clarification: you can also type "1 O+1".…

Yeah, I don't know what it would take. We're currently using very few dependencies so... maybe? Shoot me an email using the links on the homepage if you like and we can continue th…

I completely concur with Western music theory being crazy. I would love to be raised by aliens where music was cleanly lined up with decimals or base negative three integers or ...…

The "6" would be the first note of the next octave, and 7 and 8 would be up that 1 and 2 scale notes. Except there's no "from" the straight minor per se, because entry is in scale …

to add to the above, on OS X, instead of loop MIDI, you can create a Virtual IAC bus instead. For someone with a Windows machine that has loopMIDI, if you want to send me a patch f…

Those sequencers do not include Ableton, the Monomachine, Bitwig, Logic, or any that I have experience with. They all use force to scale mechanics that make accidentals impossible.…

Here the Python API is just expressing the pattern language to user land, the user does not have to deal with python arrays at all. See some examples at https://bitbucket.org/laser…

oh cool, I had a friend who mentioned (I think another one though) program that generated tiny MIDI clips. That would be great for dragging into a DAW and repositioning them around…

Nope! With those systems you have no way to input accidentals. Here, notes are entered in scale degree, so if you say "4 5 6" you get the 4th, 5th, and 6th scale note, every time. …

that's a cool interface - "impossible to play a wrong note" kinda leaves out the ability for intentional accidentals, but... not bad for a lot of things. Bonus points if they get t…

Yep, that's true. For now there isn't a user interface and doing some youtubes about the API is definitely planned. the API will remain around forever though, and is useful for gen…

Hi everyone, I've been making music with synthesizers for a long time, and I always saw great ideas in DAW tools and in hardware, but never all of those ideas in one place. I wante…

Hi folks, I'm Michael DeHaan, and you may remember me from making Ansible. I know there are a lot of doc frameworks out there but I wanted an easier one, one that allowed me to use…

You are welcome! Yeah the thing I was worried about with that kinda went away. Feedback would be welcome, stop by the forum sometime!

First off, it sounds like your playbooks sucked - sorry about that, with great power comes great responsibility. Even as I wanted to make things simple, all things could be abused,…

It's ok if you think of it as such, the veneer over that actually isn't that deep, and that's ok. The trick is there are some norms you want to express in the language, things like…
