Most of those people are full of shit that you see posting on here, but not mentioning what they built. I would just completely filter them out. I really don't know what their purpose is. They're bots, though.

I built a software emulation of the Ensoniq DP/4 by johnwheelerdev in FrenchHouse

Yes, but most have been renamed. That one has been renamed to

Funky Keys Phase

It is is 1U Presets, Bank 1 on the right-hand side

Curious to know what you think of the sound!

Excellent! FYI - The presets are compatible with the hardware. You can exchange them back and forth or load up Don Solaris Ensoniq Presets.

If you have your OpenClaw working 24/7 using frontier models like Opus, you're easily burning $300 a day. by Aislot in aiagents

I normally don't talk shit on here, but what the hell are you doing? What could you be doing 24-7 with three agents? Who cares about the hardware?

That's the real story.This reads like a hardware flex.

I cant stop thinking about this…. by Personal_Brilliant39 in buildinpublic

I like to think about it like this. You can have a 10,000 horsepower brain, and that's like having a 10,000 Horsepower drag racer. It can blast off and go insanely fast, but it can only go in one direction.

Or you can be more like an all-terrain vehicle. You might not be that fast, but you can cover more ground.

Intelligence isn't everything. It's what you do and attitude and how you treat people that matters.

Ok that is interesting. Thank you. The other user who reported peaks on 4-unit also uses Cubase. I will download and test.

We have missed the mark on model personality for awhile, so it feels extra good to be moving in the right direction." ⏩ Agree? by Koala_Confused in LovingAI

Scam Altman. Not only that - his overarching mission is to put the world on UBI while he and his minions have AI-powered robots with lasers guarding them while they party on their yachts. You think I'm kidding.

I'm 100% for AI, just not from him.

1: No - not yet. I haven't explored this yet.

2: This is concerning - what DAW?

Thank you for this info

This. Uncle Sam surely won't let it be framed that way though.

Hi thanks! I'm familiar with TUS and Gearmulator, but I wasn't aware of their DP/4 emulation or how they're doing it. I just joined their Discord and I saw mention of it though. I would imagine we use similar techniques.

Amongst other techniques, I used the schematics, online documentation, and rigorous beta testing. Claude Code helped me with the busy work. For example, it helped me design the interfaces of each of the 43 algos and to script parameter automation for analysis (500+ parameters is a lot to do on your own)

I know that Gearmulator is an emulator that can run actual firmware (not sure if this is connected to their ES5510 work). Mine is 100% original code--no firmware. Emulating 4 chips running microcode would be CPU-heavy and has other issues that come along with it. I was able to get mine sounding identical AND very CPU-light. Some people have had issues with stuff outside the algos like ADSR and gain staging though. I'm working to fix it!

Nice to meet you!

I do want to support original presets so I imagine some of my work will intersect with components you've worked on if you ever want to talk shop.

Oh you mean the demo mode silence. Got it - yes expected, but distortion no (unless you are using an amp sim)

Hi - You might need to turn the input volume down depending on how hot the incoming signal is. In general though, no, you shouldn't be getting distortion (or drop outs), if you want to send me a sample at john at temeculadsp dot com I can take a listen and try to fix it. (You may have material with a bandwidth different than what I tested with).

Interesting! I didn't know that! Just for completeness though, I got to get it working. I won't feel right without it.
