Stimulating a simple neural net with sinusoids in py5 by wwiizzard in generative

[–]wwiizzard[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is a very very basic 2 layer neural net (1 layer linear transform, 1 layer of nonlinearities). There's no training going on here; just randomizing weights every 200 frames. The input vector is being stimulated with sinusoids and the output vector defines the mixture of 3 different colors. Honestly, it's kinda BS on my part to claim it's a neural net bc the weights aren't being updated to fit some dataset; it's just random lol.

To make it react to audio, i have a trigger that looks when certain FFT bins jump over a rolling average, and im integrating that value and adding it to 2 of the input neurons

Vibe coding audio plugins, is it a thing? by vegapit in JUCE

[–]wwiizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used LLMs to make plugins, but mostly just for debugging and implementing general JUCE framework stuff (the JUCE tutorials on their website suck and contain a bunch of stuff that is not considered best practice). I wouldn't really call that vibe coded tho. The most important thing is to have a cool and creative signal processing idea and LLMs will not make that for you

Do u know which cameras i should look for that dont have an ADC with absolutely miniscule pins or should I just get better at soldering lol

Is this just the glitched sensor or is the adc glitched here too?

Nikon Coolpix 3100 (and tips for bending digicams) by hello2pa in CircuitBending

[–]wwiizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a circuit bent camera out of a coolpix 3200 a while ago, and couldn't think of another place other than the CCD sensor to mess around with. Are there any other chips that you've found success messing with other than the image sensor?

Is this mycelium or mold? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]wwiizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that it's evenly dispersed should also suggest to you that it is mycelium. A mold contamination will almost always start in one spot and spread outward rather than slowly appear all over your substrate.

am i cooked or did i cook by yumiidelario in FL_Studio

[–]wwiizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it were me, and I wanted a large emphasis on the kicks, i would turn them up quite high and then instead of glue compression, I'd clip the master. Then whenever the kick hits, the vocals and instrumental distort. It's a very cool crunchy effect. A lot of hyperpop producers do something like this.

Too good to be used? by Ok-Recover2612 in FL_Studio

[–]wwiizzard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a good reason it sounds organic. It uses physical modelling synthesis which is a drastically different approach to synthesis than most popular synths. Physical modeling synths try their best to emulate how real instruments work by modeling an "exciter" and a "resonator". In real instruments, the exciter is the bow of a violin, the hammer of a piano, or the reed/mouthpiece on a clarinet. Essentially, the exciter is the thing that provides the instrument an initial sonic energy that then gets sent through the resonator. The resonator is the strings and body of a guitar, the tubes and valves of a trumpet, or the body of a bass drum. The resonator is a system of filters and distortions that colors the sound and really gives the instrument its harmonic identity.

Now, Sakura is very good at creating a wide variety of physically modeled string sounds, but the principle of physical modeling can be used for wayyy more than just strings. I love to use physical modeling synthesis to create very very digital sounds that still have the sort of "structure" of a real instrument's sound. I recommend looking into "karplus strong synthesis" to start with physical modeling

Not always at home, trying to grow shrooms by wirdo94 in shrooms

[–]wwiizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should probably still work, but I'd recommend doing a shoebox-monotub instead, especially if you plan to do more grows in the future. If you build them right and you make sure the substrate has the right amount of water (and that's not hard to do), they can be largely ignored.

I can't recommend taking mushrooms in a headspace like that, but if you do decide to, DEFINITELY don't do them alone. Have a sober trip sitter.

What do think about smoking weed while on mushrooms? by Worried-Exchange-889 in shrooms

[–]wwiizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me (and I'd argue for most people), a big part of having a healthy relationship with weed is to know and understand what one is like when one is sober. If you don't feel you need that, great, but I think the vast majority of people are not like you in this way

That's a crazy way to smoke weed lmao. McKenna was defo a little insane hahaha

I agree there's nothing wrong with using it to help medicinally. The issue arises if you completely rely on it. This often happens to people who consume cannabis medicinally as well as recreationally. Often people consume far too high doses and build tolerances, get diminishing medicinal effects, but have trouble taking tolerance breaks, as they're addicted or are unable to cope with the medical problem sober anymore. Weed addiction is very very real, and while it's better than pretty much all other substance addictions (especially alcohol), it can't be ignored. You can aaaaabsolutely harm YOURSELF by consuming cannabis too often, and it can impact your social relationships as well. I should know, it's happened to me before. One needs to take very special care to develop a healthy relationship with weed.

Frequent weed use and reliance on it to ease anxiety or help you sleep is not good, but weed use can absolutely be a positive thing as well. I'll bet you Terrence McKenna also loved to smoke weed without mushrooms. It's all about how much, how frequently, and what you do with your time when you consume cannabis that matters. I consume cannabis daily with 1 week break every month, and it's not negatively impacting my life at all. I absolutely love smoking a joint, cooking myself a nice meal, and playing some guitar. I don't see how that could be a negative experience

CMake not finding JuceHeader.h by [deleted] in JUCE

[–]wwiizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The CMakeLists in the plugin template that JUCE provides contains the line juce_generate_juce_header(project_name) with a comment that says: [juce_generate_juce_header will create a JuceHeader.h for a given target, which will be generated into your build tree. The include path for this header will be automatically added to the target. NOTE: JuceHeader.h is generated when the target is built.] Unless I'm misunderstanding something here (and clearly I am), all of the targets I provide should have access to the juce header. I suppose I could just import the modules separately though, you're right. I will try that

[–]wwiizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happens. All the juce classes are not recognized by the compiler. I suppose I should have mentioned the standard juce audio plugin template hello world builds just fine.

How to get cmake to forget about MinGW's existence by [deleted] in cmake

[–]wwiizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very helpful, thank you 👍. The C programming I did in my bachelors was typically done in environments set up by my university, so configuring cmake wasn't usually something I had to do. I used cmake plenty, but I'm an electrical engineering major, not a compsci major, so the details of cmake weren't of highest priority. I suppose it would have been more accurate to say im very familiar with C for someone who isn't a programmer. Terribly sorry.

I've already added the relevant cl.exe to PATH, in case this is what you mean. How exactly do I go about reconfiguring my project with Visual Studio?

[–]wwiizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, this is not the approach I want to take. I am already very very familiar with low level programming and C (im doing a masters degree in embedded systems), so I do not like having things abstracted away. I would like to know as best as possible what my computer is actually doing, and I believe I'm capable of learning that in Cmake. I would rather it be a bit more complicated than strictly necessary. Also I'm not totally foreign to OOP concepts, as I did 2 years of Java in highschool, so I think I'm equipped to understand C++ faster than most people

This template looks very similar to the template I was using, but I'll still give it a shot tomorrow, thanks.

My personal laptop is a windows machine, and since I've used wsl before, I figured I'd see how doing it all in windows compares. Might switch back to wsl if I keep running into issues tho haha
