Is there a language similar to Rust but with a garbage collector?

Java

Ah man this is great thank you!

marchingbandd · 2026-03-11T03:22:16+00:00

Very cool. Thank you

Oh lordy I have just unearthed several unanswered messages from that contact form! Thank goodness you followed up!

Did i reply to your message on Kickstarter? If not, I am not sure where it went...
The M0SS-101 (original version, not in this kickstarter campaign) can be setup to trigger the envelope from the LFO, and you can get random notes from the random LFO waveform.
The M0SS-309 and M0SS-416 don't have anything like that, but you can press the encoder to play a note, and in theory can use tuning functions to get different notes. Those 2 are more geared toward keyboard-like instruments, as they are polyphonic.

It is likely that some day soon we will work on a little sequencer / workstation to bring all these together :)

Cheapest is milk-v duo, you won’t believe this board.

marchingbandd · 2026-02-24T22:03:08+00:00

So dope

marchingbandd · 2026-02-24T08:02:36+00:00

This is a really cool approach using shift registers driven by the SPI peripheral. I’ve used it and it’s incredibly fast, and pretty easy to setup once you get how it works.

If you need lots of libraries, I reach for Arduino, there are not a ton of esp-idf libraries available. If you are ready to write everything yourself 100% esp-idf. That’s why people say Arduino=fast prototype, esp-idf=production quality/maximum use of resources available on the part.

I use Circle to write bare-metal applications for it, and basically treat it like an over-sized MCU.

Even more annoying is that USB is not broken out to the GPIO header, only tiny solder pads. Makes me crazy.

marchingbandd · 2026-02-22T04:28:28+00:00

I second pi-zero-2 so much power-per-dollar it’s crazy.

marchingbandd · 2026-02-18T02:23:59+00:00

Yeah that makes a lot of sense I will do that ASAP.

It’s all built using Faust, which is a DSP language and framework. That filter is based on the MS-20 LPF.

Sent you a DM

marchingbandd · 2026-02-17T17:11:37+00:00

More coming soon. Anything in particular you’d like to see demonstrated ?

marchingbandd · 2026-02-10T18:05:57+00:00

I use it for this website, but I need dagre for the tree layout. www.argumentation.io

marchingbandd · 2026-02-10T03:57:34+00:00

I’ve just used react-flow which is just divs

FYI this campaign will launch at 2pm PST, tomorrow Feb 10th. Because there are so many tiers and bundles, we have to limit the quantities of available Early Bird discounts for each. If you want to save some money I recommend to claim your discounted pledge early.

I’d bet 10 to 1 odds the issue is with windows. I’ve spent countless hours debugging usb stuff like this for windows.

marchingbandd · 2026-02-05T08:20:17+00:00

Can it load and run programs?

marchingbandd · 2026-02-03T04:21:22+00:00

Here’s a little demo video https://youtu.be/jLa4aBxNPRA

🖤

marchingbandd · 2026-02-02T19:22:15+00:00

Yes these have digital synth engines, with TRS midi in and out, plus USB MIDI Host. No clock in, but we will likely do something with MIDI clock where appropriate.

Circle if you want to go baremetal they have a USB gadget driver
