#12Did you recreate the UI only or also the internal circuits? Does it produce a similar distorsion?
I created the UI and the internal circuits but it's a hundred percent DSP. The SST206 is a recreation of the SST282 (in DSP) and he expanded the bandwidth from 7 kHz to 22 kHz, so it doesn't produce distortion but it can get dark like the original. But yeah so the SST206 it's not grungy like the original so it lacks some of the character. It makes up for it in delay time.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thank you so much. Yeah it's really cool. I also bought myself a copy of Max MSP and I'm recreating it visually so I can tweak all the parameters and really understand what's going on because the AI did all of the theory for me but I have all the numbers. When you tweak the numbers it makes it sound totally different. So yeah I'm excited. This is what I want to do with my life. I want to build electronic music gear.…
Wait you used Claude Code to recreate patents and schematics? Are the schematics for this easily available somewhere? Was Claude just able to one-shot this?
I use Claude more as a learning tool in this context. It's kind of funny actually got the idea because I heard that in China they're basically replacing teachers with AI, where we're trying to get AI out of our school systems in the United States. So I went into it with that mindset instead of trying to have Claude do the whole thing to teach me how to do it so I understand it and I'm still learning, trying to recreate things with Max so I can have a lot more control and really play with it. I'm learning that reverb creation is a real craft.
It's not able to one-shot it yet but I'm sure that's coming this year sometime. I did the UI a hundred percent by myself and I went in there and tweaked it and tried to rebuild it and just try to understand how reverb works etc. I also did a lot of the software licensing just because I have experience with that.

#17This is fantastic. I’m currently building a combustion engine simulator doing exactly what you did. In fact, I found a number of research papers, had Claude implement the included algorithms, and then incorporated them into the project.
What I have now is similar to https://youtu.be/nXrEX6j-Mws?si=XdPA48jymWcapQ-8 but I haven’t implemented a cohesive UI yet.

Looks like Logic Pro.
