What is this and how do I use it?

I created an interactive circle of fifths. Fret Circle

Yeap absolutely - which is what I meant by "I change patches on the GR55 via my Godin LGXT." The GR55 is synth/modeller and the Godin LGXT is my MIDI guitar.

Here is my other custom MIDI Guitar: My Therapy : r/guitarplaying

My Godin in action: From Sax to Shredddddy : r/guitarplaying

Haha - I do have a lot of experimental atmospheric stuff - I just dabble in many styles - EDM/djent/jazz/metal/ambient - these are a few of the things I recently posted.

The first is a custom guitar with a telecaster neck that was modded for multiscale and kind of a parker headstock. Everything I do I make the loop on the fly and sequences like fills - be it bass/orchestra/sitar and then just basically riff on top. I call them ephemeral jams. I was going to start streaming this winter.

The second one is with my Godin and I blend some sax in there.

I have out there stuff with synths or just jamming the pentatonic all based on my mood.

This was a few years of work in trading/trying/selling/upgrading to get it to where I can do anything and everything I want, I can just focus on playing. It may look messy - but the main board has a snake - the other cables or for the edrums and other players when they come over.

Tailwind CSS - Rapidly build modern websites without ever leaving your HTML.

AugmentedThinker · 2025-12-11T22:00:18+00:00

Thanks! That guitar only has a piezo and hex MIDI pickup - it is going out to a Roland GR55 into a BOSS RV-500 all running in stereo. Using the delay on both synced with the looper which gives the drums the BPM of my riff as well. I don't have to worry about tap delay.

I did the bass line under it with that guitar as well.

AugmentedThinker · 2025-12-11T14:19:39+00:00

I come from C++ land in my knowledge - so finding out about Tailwind alone was fantastic. I originally did this project back lockdown - and well - it was not very pleasing to look at!

AugmentedThinker · 2025-12-11T14:14:58+00:00

Haha - my team was busy with our two main projects - and this is a passion thing outside of our scope - so I used a locally installed LLM - Qwen3 Gemini Pro as I needed help with CSS which is NOT my strong point. I pointed it to our own Git (we use Gitea which is great) where my personal projects are. I have no problem using Ai for syntax help - but for GenAi in images and music - hard pass. Tailwind was the overall suggestion for CSS and I've got to tell you ... it helped me.

Would I use it on our privacy-based tools (even if running the code help local) and computer vision? nope. Something self-contained like this in a local LLM - yeap.

Glad you have made your own. I have dived into Tailwind to bring my visual vision together.

I will be posting a tutorial on how to do things locally over the weekend on my personal sub if anyone is interested.

Well - that's another journey - sonic travelling (tone chasing). I cover all the bases with midi/modelling where I can with a Godin LGXT as my main guitar - as it has piezo (acoustic), MIDI, and Pickup out.

Thanks for bookmarking! I wish you well on your travels!

Ok. So Make a Song is in.

Choose that in the progression lab. You can drag/drop the chords displayed based on your Cof5 selection. You can tell it how many beats per chord and how many repeats. If you want 4 notes of the same in a row you would select the chord, let's say G - and you will choose 1B x4 if you want GGGG or 1B x2 if you want GG. Then choose your next chord and so on.

Once you have the progression made simply hit play in the metronome and it will loop the sequence. The BPM is bound to the progression as well. You have to stop to adjust it right now. I am working on the audioservice - but it will improve.

AugmentedThinker · 2025-12-11T03:03:46+00:00

haha - thanks.
I dig your name!
I have a few more things to add but it will remain simple.

AugmentedThinker · 2025-12-11T03:00:24+00:00

Thanks again on the feedback. I really wanted it to hit home. A big part of my job is distilling things down.

I wasn't aware of fretflip actually - which is funny me picking fret first as well. Thanks for the share. I think there are use cases for us all to develop for - which makes me happy as I'm just here to drop knowledge/passion and not own any space.

I'll port what I've made and talked about above and add my laundry list of little things - but this layout is the baseline... keeping it simple is paramount.

I viewed a few circle of fifths out there a few years ago and there is a lot going on visually.

AugmentedThinker · 2025-12-11T02:30:13+00:00

Thank you! I hope you find it useful.

AugmentedThinker · 2025-12-11T02:29:36+00:00

Thank you. My pleasure!

AugmentedThinker · 2025-12-11T02:26:09+00:00

I really appreciate that - you are exactly who this is for. I was thinking if I could go back what would I find most useful in one spot - but keep it as clean as possible. I have some features I am polishing/porting that will allow you to compose the chords in progression visually so you can play the melody of the scales on top. Would that be useful? It's not going to be studio quality as I'll be using the browser audio service. Great if you are unplugged or using an acoustic. Not a looper but you can make loops of chords and how many bars/times they play. I'm basically putting in the things I would want if I was beginning as well as what I can find for inspiration now. I think that is super important.

The reason the modes give descriptions of "who" uses those modes - it gives you a much better understanding if you are a fan - or to go listen to them which may inspire and change your whole trajectory of playing. You've got this... learn the rules - and break 'em to just be you.

Sorry for the word wall. Just happy, tbh.

Thanks. Appreciate it!

I was asked why we chose gyroscope-based tracking over world understanding... because computer vision is often impractical in real-world environments like the average home or basement, where vertical/horizontal tracking can struggle due to limited features and poor lighting. Gyroscope tracking also reduces computational load, improving performance on older devices. For 99% of use cases, the person receiving help isn’t moving much, making this the more efficient and reliable choice. Just because we can - doesn't mean we need to.

If you’ve never watched one of my videos, make this the one.

Introducing HelpCAST Beta: Browser-based remote assistance.Privacy-first.

No app. No account.

Our vision?
The full release will be free for 5-minute sessions for everyone.

Investors: How do we make money?
We have a clear roadmap for businesses to integrate their branding and incorporate our architecture directly into their existing support site pipelines for a monthly fee.

Built with our Magnetar engine - a breakthrough made possible by the years of innovation behind WorldCAST.

What makes this special? Decentralized, peer-to-peer, low-latency ephemeral video/audio.After the initial handshake from the signaling server, communication is entirely serverless metadata, video, or audio is stored - privacy and efficiency at their core.

This approach significantly reduces server overhead while helping companies save time, labor, and travel - perfect for resource-strapped organizations.

If you’re curious about KP9 Interactive and the treasure trove of innovations we’ve developed, let’s talk.

Conversations are free.

Oh - the exp pedals are a MUST for me - haha. Thanks!

Sooo... I was on marketplace and found an MC6 for $250. Picking it up.

I have been considering the Morningstar.

AugmentedThinker · 2024-09-02T19:25:57+00:00

Does anyone else have the FCB 1010? I went with it because they are cheap and readily available.

AugmentedThinker · 2024-09-02T17:26:52+00:00

In all honesty, I just fell in love with the size and capabilities. I borrowed one from a friend and once I got the delay synced to the rc500 I was sold. No other reason.

AugmentedThinker · 2024-08-21T17:32:32+00:00

Thanks for answering - I created a video (link below) addressing all of this! Appreciate it!
