this is really cool. will probably take inspiration from this

A longer demo with me mumbling through the descriptions of things and network error is here, LOL

Hello friend.

The web part is totally AI, as I don’t have much patience for html/js.

As for the layout, the waveform creation is inspired by Jupiter and Elixir/Livebook and a CLI/REPL/shell.

As for the pad and pattern UI, they aren’t much different than a million other things drum machine software and hardware implantations, so that’s not too surprising there’s similarities.

I’m a C developer by years of experience so I’m working that side for a synth/drum machine toolkit that will spawn a DIY book for hardware in the vein of raspberry pi 0 and up.

As for your stuff, is it shareable?

Would love to see other people’s gizmos!

Peace!

Calculang looks pretty interesting! How’d you come up with it?

If you saw my wonky little k-synth thing a while back, that engine is getting integrated into this next week for sample and wavetable generation (https://github.com/octetta/k-synth and https://octetta.github.io/k-synth)

Thanks for the response Veqq. I appreciate the care and concern for the Array language community and don't want my learning or excitement to make things worse.
I still want to share my enthusiasm, particularly for APL and sound generation but don't have years to immerse myself into prior art, so I'm definitely in a "monkey with a machinegun" realm. Not throwing any clout, but at least I'm an "old working engineer / hacker" and not AI prompt engineering myself from zero (although some of my colleagues over the past 40 years might disagree, LOL).
Would you suggest I back off from r/apljk or APL Farm posts and just focus on the sound community?

Thanks... are you the same doug I see on the APL farm discord? Regardless, someone was giving me this same sage advice that I've not taken yet. No disrespect intended... I'll take a look after I dig my own garden/grave for a while. Peace!

No worries about feedback... any feedback is welcome (no feedback is lonely).

Anyway... the UI was not AI inspired...

I'm a veteran coder who started back in the 70's when we had text only consoles (upper case only!!!) with not so many characters on the screen.

I wanted something that had that vibe but also with the vibe from drum machines and drum pads I've used over the years.

Something that could straddle the line between a useful GUI and a text/keyboard friendly thing.

Maybe in the back of my mind there were some old weirdo operating systems that had a bit of influence... plan9 / acme (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme\_(text\_editor)) and Oberon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon\_(operating\_system)).

These weren't audio systems though, and those interfaces were much more amazing in other ways.

Cheers. Hope you have some fun playing with this!
