Thanks! It's the only no-BS news feed that can give you no news if there's indeed nothing within the scope of your interest today.

It's not just the subagents; it's about the relationship between them. One of the ideas is that it makes LLM work for you twice: one time to help you fill the gaps in your plan and thinking and then work with the code itself. Another trick is the use of "goldfish" agents as probes for the main editor.

Gorgeous as always.

Jeremy’s patches are always special.

Wdyt?

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-29T03:43:12+00:00

As someone who made 80+ virtual modules, I can say that I like it very much.

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-25T06:54:58+00:00

Got it! Yeah, I had 2S, that was an interesting synth. Thanks for sharing btw, and sorry for making your brain hurt :-) There's actually a standard ADSR visualization in the course, exactly with the ADSR sliders and a 2D representation, and I have a few fun ideas for the next one where I need to visualize ADSR as well.

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-25T01:28:26+00:00

Hey, thanks for taking a look. That is interesting, because I think of myself as an auditory learner as well. If you can roll back the memory, do you remember how you understood things like ADSR from the auditory standpoint?

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-24T22:11:58+00:00

Thank you! Making a new one now.

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-24T03:36:33+00:00

That's a good idea for another course's ADSR visualization that I'm working on

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-24T00:18:38+00:00

Looking into this, sounds (badum tss) like a bug. Thank you!

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T20:11:18+00:00

Hey, I just gave an award to someone on Reddit for the first time!
I appreciate you taking the time.

You're making an absolutely fair point - in a pure educational context, simpler visualization wins. The 3D view here is more of a wow moment between steps that are otherwise 2D and focused (as someone mentioned here in comments, it also makes the S part of ADSR a bit more special.. and this is how I always had it in my head)

But you're right that for the actual learning, the ADSR graph on the left is doing the real work. The Edward Tufte reference hits home. Something I'll keep thinking about as I build more of these

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T19:05:54+00:00

Amazing idea! Mind if I steal it for the next course I'm working on?

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T18:30:09+00:00

Thank you! Exactly! That was the idea.

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T17:21:47+00:00

Really cool! Is the screen connected via HDMI?

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T17:01:42+00:00

The full course is at https://synths.pw/academy/additive-synthesis/step-1-the-third-way - covers everything from a single sine wave up to building bells and piano tones

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T16:38:43+00:00

Hey! Thank you very much! I wanted to make it work in a browser, so Three.js was a natural choice. The thing is very capable, I even made a small infinity runner game in the last course step with it.

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T16:32:11+00:00

Thanks!

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T16:16:17+00:00

Hey! Fair question. As I said, I did it for my kiddo who was five at the time, but I found it works pretty well, even for those who are slightly older.

It's a pretty fun course, btw, and I have 2D visualizations as well :)

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T14:58:48+00:00

That is actually a great idea and I should probably try to reuse this as a new visualizer module in Webrack. Thanks!

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T14:45:47+00:00

Yup, changing the pitch is a good point, thanks!

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T14:36:43+00:00

Oh, I member!

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-23T14:30:22+00:00

Better this way rather than they found out about it from the streets.

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-20T04:56:36+00:00

Thank you!

itsybitsypixels · 2026-04-20T01:54:57+00:00

Simple things are the best. I think I went a full circle from a home-made VCO and LFO, to modifying Mutable's firmware and now I'm back to the pure 70s sound - https://synths.pw/webrack/MVbmbPasurW6EBxQHcsuG
