What a ridiculous take ๐Ÿ™„

But I will say itโ€™s working pretty cool . You can assign parameters to the macro, then modulate the macro on top of being able to still modulate the parameters

My macro system is basically done. Last thing is Ui to set the name of the macro. Iโ€™d say Iโ€™d reward my self a beer for getting it working today, except Iโ€™m usually having a beer while coding ๐Ÿ˜‚

Can confirm. Flew over them with my dad in his Cessna

Wow , Dan Simmons passed away. One of my favorite authors for both sci-fi and horror

Fuck

Then I need to deal with MIDI clock messages

Itโ€™s going to be cool, but right now my concern is UI. The main nav buttons are all at the bottom and itโ€™s starting to feel cluttered. Maybe some color cues, but Iโ€™m still pondering

I got my modulation all cleaned up, but macros are going to be another challenge (especially since i want macros to be modulated)

Pretty sure I have a path, but it means breaking shit again, then porting it back to the other pedal project.

I went to Tacos de Lyon in my 2nd day of moving to France .

I was very disappointed

Hello Bluesky hivemind.

Iโ€™m looking for recommendations for books about clean ux design.

Not tech stack dependent, just basic principles

When I buy gifts for my girlfriend, my tendency is to go big. The best cooking knife. The best anything she likes . You get the idea. Just after we started dating, she bought me a small blanket to keep my arm warm but not hot next to my body. Best gift ever. Wish I had her insight

As much as I miss warrell, excited for the new line up

It is true. Itโ€™s back when they were a performance troop โ€œthe mystic knights of the oingo boingoโ€

Yep, too much distortion and any string instrument just sounds like a guitar. Got to be subtle

Itโ€™s (unfortunately) in my storage unit now, but I actually have an electric mandolin with a 4 pole pickup.

And I *love* effects

Good times, good times

Dillon is a total mad scientist and has come up with some of wildest plugins and ableton devices, but damn does he suck at presenting his work. Stop saying โ€œthis is complicatedโ€ maybe write out a script and do some post shoot editing

I got all my spectral followers working , but itโ€™s not loud enough in the bar to show off (I assure you all itโ€™s really cool!)

I also got my chaotic modulators mostly working (thereโ€™s a bug with the pendulum).

And now the ui work to expand to 8 modulators,

If you know the (pretty simple ) rules they are easy to speak.

But with listening , it makes deciphering a conversation brutal

I started with c++. I tried using mx/msp for about a year. It seems ok for prototyping, but it does not scale well at all . Abstraction is terrible. And the code it generated was bloated and inefficient.

Iโ€™m using JUCE these days and so much happier for it
