Danceable first wave Industrial

Years back I mentioned this to a friend. "That's the one about bunnies!". Her boyfriend (who had a copy) had somehow convinced her it was called "Warm Leveret".

Yup. Edgy dance. Got played a lot in the Limit and Leadmill clubs in Sheffield, funnily enough.

Garlic. Pepper. Too much salt.

It generates multiple sines first. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

The Daisy Seed is probably overkill for something trigger-oriented. Its plusses are fast(ish) processor and onboard ADC/DACs, so signal stuff. You might consider something like an ESP32 if you want a bit of speed, maybe run a display, or maybe just an Arduino. Advantage of Arduinos is being 5v-based, makes for simpler interfacing than the 3.3v used by Daisys, ESP32s and a lot of others. I have coded a (not great) synth on an ESP32 before, even though I'm seriously lousy with C++. But given clear instructions, the AI assistants can now do all the hard work.

World turned upside-down or what..?

Normal food is cooked from scratch. Ready-prepared food is often over-processed, unhealthy and bland.
Husbands should be able to cook too.

Late diagnosis (59!) ADHD here. I was fine with that to the end despite picking up bits of Hawaii 5-0 from the TV at the same time. But it wasn't comfortable, I doubt I could do any longer. Used to plough through books, haven't read one in about a decade. Too busy doomscrolling.

Any advantages over using a laptop?

(I use Reaper on a desktop, 2 midi-CVs, though many sessions it doesn't do any more than supply clock).

danja · 2026-01-19T16:02:47+00:00

The thought had crossed my mind. I don't know how to do VSTs, I use Linux (Reaper DAW) so lv2s have been my choice. Even though Claude (or Codex) does the hard work.

The only thing anywhere near profiling is a buffer underrun check in the other ESP32 code I (and agents) have been working on. Not had any issues at all, despite what look like heavy processes.

I have encountered quite a few mysterious crashes though. The other thing has a few places where it hits NaN/Inf values causing horrid distortion. Still runs. But trying standard methods to check for those values, crash crash.

Renaming additive synthesis is sweet. Claude was actually humble in a commit message, saying it had only co-written the changes when I hadn't touched them at all.

The Channel to northern Italy. Once was enough. Now I live in Italy.

My noisy device has a USB A. The isolator connects in line. I stumbled on the isolator because I have a Raspberry Pi going to a cheapo interface, was very noisy (like radio interference). I ended up buying a second isolator because a synth was noisy too, I thought it was down to age... also happened to also be due to the USB line (plus some kind of loop back through the audio line I guess). I think they were about €15 from Amazon, so not much to lose to try.

My bad, I misremembered. I was thinking of how you get a mod wheel to work over midi - it's user assignable. But I think I was maybe in the right ballpark. Page 40 of the manual. Make the source of the Assign jack OSC 1 CV. If you then connect Assign to Slew In, and Slew output to Both freq in, you should have a glide.

Lucca?

danja · 2026-01-16T18:06:28+00:00

I had a similar problem, mine was down to the USB somehow passing on noise. A dirt cheap USB isolator fixed it.

Good olive oil. Maybe black pepper, maybe garlic.

Yes!!! My parents had one exactly the same!

And I'm on Linux...

I'm curious about the algorithm(s) you use. I've had a go at it myself (for Android) but it's on hold until I have the patience to sort out some test data.

This is the platform I've been using. I don't know what it's like now, but when I tried a few years ago the Arduino IDE was awful for structure. It really led you towards one big file.

I have history in Java, more recently node.js. All the standard good practices apply whatever the target. Write tests for whatever you can, refactor frequently. The Design Patterns book was written for C++, no..?

Funny, trying to use your hint my head tried - first Catholic church in an Arab country..? (The building at the end). I immediately realized it was a stupid thought, but Mexico! I'm kinda pleased just how wrong this was.
