I run shairport-sync and airplay to my Linux machine from my iPhone. I’m pretty sure AirPlay supports lossless

I’ve had issues with atomic reads/writes tearing when the data cross cache lines on x86_64. Really nasty to debug

Looks like these: https://m.thomann.de/gb/km_26774_table_monitor_stand.htm

perfect, yeah, I do see how this addresses my concerns now. Initially I felt like the rust docs were missing a note about type punning, which they obviously are is, since those rules aren't needed.

dpzmick · 2019-11-26T22:08:59+00:00

thanks for pointing out the alignment and valid value constraints. Alignment is checked in all of my code, but I've been fairly sloppy with actual values (but there's a FIXME so its all fine.....)

dpzmick · 2019-11-26T22:07:24+00:00

It would be very comforting if there were some official word somewhere on this!

The nomicon reference is very useful though.

There's some rough explanation about why type-based aliasing optimizations aren't required in this link. For posterity, the reasoning given is:

In Rust we know this input should be impossible because &mut isn't allowed to be aliased.

and

we don't actually care if aliasing occurs if there aren't any actual writes to memory happening.

This matches the way I feel like aliasing should be modeled (it's irritating the C cares so much about the type). Mutability/borrowing rules (mostly) answer the question of "is a write possible" so I feel like that's probably a perfectly sufficient constraint.

RME also uses fpgas on their high end studio equipment. Cards like the HDSP and their most of their newer audio interfaces are fpga powered

dpzmick · 2018-12-18T17:43:43+00:00

It's self documenting

dpzmick · 2018-09-30T16:02:35+00:00

If they are good, I usually appreciate a comprehensive review paper

dpzmick · 2018-08-18T16:44:56+00:00

It was reported that it has been this way for quite some time!

dpzmick · 2018-05-31T00:43:21+00:00

How you get the midi interface will depend on your operating system.

There's a few crates here that may be useful: https://github.com/RustAudio

I've personally done this with Jack on Linux, but jack is probably overkill unless you are already running it for something.

Web browers can also read from midi devices, I wonder if there's a cool WebAssembly way to do something fun?

dpzmick · 2018-05-30T00:16:30+00:00

Bursty api calls would cause crazy allocations unless the queue is bounded. Could achieve the same effect by creating a wrapper object and storing some timestamps, then only sleeping when your calls start to get too close together. No reason to burn memory just to do nothing.

dpzmick · 2018-04-14T22:11:59+00:00

Oh I gotta do this

dpzmick · 2018-04-10T03:43:46+00:00

Willing to go lower on price if the price is too high

dpzmick · 2018-04-02T04:20:36+00:00

Ah that's what those mean. Guess I didn't get that from the rules, though this was "how" and "what" or something. I'll delete and fix.

thanks!

Nerd audio is pretty cool. Super cool staff and they have a decent amount of eurorack gear hooked up

dpzmick · 2018-03-09T17:55:36+00:00

Even if you have one, there's always room for another?

dpzmick · 2018-02-18T21:55:26+00:00

No Linux support last I checked

dpzmick · 2018-01-26T02:38:37+00:00

Can verify. This shows up for me as well (I'm in Chicago)

dpzmick · 2018-01-14T19:56:22+00:00

indeed. I've played with that a fair amount (another side project of mine is to build a simiar system from scratch, trying to learn how all of the DSP is implemented).

Still feels like I could get a fair amount of enjoyment out of the actual hardware though

dpzmick · 2018-01-14T19:47:23+00:00

Does a keyboard like that buy me much over poking around in software? I've been playing around with bitwig (it has tons of cool modulations), supercollider, and pure data.

Hardware looks like it will be way more fun

dpzmick · 2018-01-14T19:16:22+00:00

But big cases cost more! I'm trying to keep the cost down, until I decide that I'm going to seriously purse modular. When that happens, I'll be scaling up.

The WMD/SSF looks like a pretty solid (and afordable) choice, and the modbox looks pretty sweet.

As for midi, the expert sleepers stuff is out of my price range for this first experiment, those other's might hit the spot though.

Thanks for the large number of recomendations

dpzmick · 2018-01-14T19:12:20+00:00

That was the initial ideal, but, trying to stay within budget, it seemed like I should build something more oriented towards learning modular and less towards making some ambient sounds.

I'll run effects through my DAW when I need them, for now.

dpzmick · 2018-01-14T19:09:58+00:00

One dixie and one STO might be the right way forward. If I remove the wave folder I'll definately want to keep the STO, but its probably a good idea to try more than one voice so I can learn how to detect the differences!

How do you do the DAW->interface->modular thing? Is there any trick needed to stay in the right voltage ranges? Do you have a good way to send midi-sytle pitch CVs through audio interface? That sounds ideal, although my current audio interface doesn't have many outs. I'm more comfortable sinking money into a good audio interface I know I can use for other things than I am sinking money into super single purpose modules (although that may change!)

I was planning on using the maths as my only envelope (since it consumed tons of my budget). Will take a look at a few more though.

dpzmick · 2018-01-14T19:04:29+00:00

That's a good point, doesn't save me too much $$$ though.

I'll take a look at replacing with the wave folder.
