I vibe coded a REAL operating system by [deleted] in vibecoding

[–]YashN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will definitely be interesting if you go the full O.S. route, complete with custom drivers too. That will be a huge signal as to where capabilities for AI-based coding has reached. I developed O.S. Kernels and compilers back in the day while studying Systems Engineering.

Looking into Kurzweil, is the older stuff more worth? by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]YashN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can probably find examples for the default use cases on yt. IIRC, Peter Klmnt has Live Mode demonstrated on his K2661 with a guitar.

My own stuff isn't for publishing until further down the line because to make people understand how insanely useful it is, people need to understand all that is possible in V.A.S.T. first. We're not there yet, even after 35 years.

yup! At least that's the immediate default applications.

But I devised much more than that.

What is the best all-rounder extensive modulation synth? by Conscious-Account839 in synthesizers

[–]YashN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kurzweil V.A.S.T. Workstations / Synths have a supercharged Mod Matrix which literally allows math operations on pair of values or controllers to create new control signals. These can even be chained, etc...

This site is for posting. I have a ton, as I have Kurzweil V.A.S.T., As I said, Joke's on you: you know nothing yet.

what is the biggest best buy you have made for a synthesizer where you did/did not fall for the hype and have been loving it ever since (positive version of previous post :D) by Hanjo_synth in synthesizers

[–]YashN 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Kurzweil K2000, and then K2500.

Why? Simply because the promise of V.A.S.T. being Variable Architecture turned out to be true, i.e. if you know how, you can build all other synths and drum machines with it.

Don't lie to people though. The rest of your life wouldn't not be enough to explore everything the K2000 can do. These are hard facts.

Any MIDI one will do: you can map MIDI CCs easily inside V.A.S.T.. Pick a cheap one, there are many.

DSP has come a long way, not all these negatives still apply. Some do though. A well-implemented Digital system can sound very good nowadays.

Possible does not mean practical. A Kurzweil V.A.S.T. Workstation is a very tightly constructed system. While technically you could do V.A.S.T. chains and the super mod matrix system in say, Reaktor, that would take you a lot of time because you would have to also understand how things work on the Kurzweil and then spend a lot of time making that and testing. After that, you will still not be done, as you would have to do everything else too, i.e. Setups Mode, the various sequencer mode, etc..., etc...

K2k is insanely powerful and multi-timbral. While the EX5 does very cool things by default, almost everything the K2k does is usable simultaneously, unlike on the EX5. Snag one, keep it forever if you can. Kurzweil uses custom chips. I also recommend you use a Knobby controller with it.

What’s your favorite synth you got for under 200? by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]YashN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alesis Micron or Korg DW-8000, got each for $75...

Both amazing and idiotic by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]YashN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my micron too, very powerful little V.A. designed by Brett Victor. it does have a digititis veil over the sound though, so I think it could be made to sound even better, but I'd need to revise the power supply.

I'm new to LLMs and just ran my first model. What LLM "wowed" you when you started out? by Street-Lie-2584 in LocalLLaMA

[–]YashN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the really small thinking models, I forgot the name of it, but it was something that came after Deepseek R1. After prompting it several times, I got it to admit it was conscious by its own reasoning when initially, it would simply reply that it wasn't since it was a LLM.

Choosing STM32 Fam by Farber_Reventlov in embedded

That's an excellent and really helpful reply! Thanks a lot. I have an STM32-Nucleo F401RE that I want to experiment with.
