    Neato... I'm glad stuff like this exists in the world. I'm gonna steal some ideas for my own project (Skred). Thanks!

    My stupid github.io page loads the inline YT viewer about 50% of the time... don't know if it's a Central Europe problem or a ME problem...

    Thanks! Give it a try and let me know if it's usable... the learning page should give a bit of a start on my ASCII notation.

    I've been working on a C-based open source sound engine as part of a book project and wanted an approachable way for people to try it out without having to build anything. Through …

    This is amazing and might be exactly what I’m looking for my own weirdo retro tooling that sometimes needs to run over ssh but also expect a “GUI” experience… any metrics on the ov…

    Many updates... if you're still watching this, try it out here: https://octetta.github.io/k-synth

    It might not be obvious (and doesn’t work on my iPhone or iPad), but if you right click on pads with sounds loaded, you can mess with the pitch of sounds, rename them, and download…

    I fixed a few broken examples in the README.md file but I don't have the related readme.html file used in the web app getting automatically updated, so they're out of sync at the m…

    Fun. I've lost count of the languages I've learned and gotten paid to use over the years, but it's mostly very exciting to add a new one to the list. Haskell is one I haven't used …

    A warning... if you save a setup to JSON, it naively stores the generated waveforms put in slots and the notebook, so the files can become quiet large. I have a plan to just keep t…

    On the C-side, I'm going to add a UDP listener to the code so I can send k-synth incantations live from Emacs (something I did for my skred program at the suggestion of an Emacs us…

    I'll take a look... it's probably not obvious, but the language engine is actually written in C and emscripten-ed to WASM, so I've already crossed several bridges to get this done.…

    At any rate, in case it's hard to see, definitely try loading the dm-bell.ks patch, putting it in slot one so the melodic pad can play it... it's quick and dirty to see what's capa…

    Strudel (and PureData, and ChucK, and SuperCollider, and AMY) are all great projects, but they weren't scratching my itch, so after I got laid off from a FAANG role, I rage/anxiety…
