Tempted to build a small onyx MIDI keyboard. Maybe I use normal wireless QWERTY keyboard technology. I want the circuit board to be visible. The G component is the gear that triggers both (x) modulation and (y) pitch.

Been working on Sampler for the past few days. Performance could be better, especially for audio selection. Sampler is aligned to BPM, e.g., selecting an audio and slicing it with the 3rd knob of Sampler group in the control panel will randomly play your audio according to the timing of the BPM.

Interface Specification thingy for Zyphr.

Maybe rotation?

Recently, I've been thinking about this. I can't do this on Spotify or any music streaming platforms I used or tried.

Both web and native. Currently experimenting between the two.

Multi track devices.

Everything in Zyphr is states and local. The foundation of the Sound Engine is designed to react and render sound in real-time while optimising performant at the same time.

The fourth design principle, haha: blocks.shawnlukas.com/assets/shawn....

Rasmus share more about Playbit, a new local-first operating system.-----Learn from engineers, designers, academics, startups, and indie developers who are p... Rasmus Andersson - Playbit Sync

The talks from Day One have been published. To kick off the conference, @rsms.me is talking about Playbit Sync. youtu.be/KMcmMm8v5_E?...

Haha, me too. Well not really, hehe.

My grandma regularly took me to one hairdresser until I was 8 years old until I managed to save up some money to buy a hair cutting machine and learned how to cut and style my hair.

I haven't been to a hairdresser since then.

Hehehe, maybe never stop? Unless if you want to stop.

I appreciate your work, experience, knowledge, and writing. It's part of the reasons I like personal websites.

Always big fan of your work, by the way.

Thanks, still some more UI to do before I can work on the sound engine.

Multi track patches. Also added some snap animation for connecting cables.

Trying to patch sound on Zyphr.

Experimenting on Zyphr's Node Graph Editor.

I like finding these kinda nuggets in your work.

My fav part of The 10th Edition has been Search. Nice keyboard interactions; clicking on a search result entry gives me short nice click feedback.

ADSR envelope for Zyphr.

Very nice and somewhat in control with less dependencies.

Did you evaluate all of them?, e.g., what modules do they depend on; are they well maintained; how's the quality of the code, etc.

Cool. How much of external dependencies does Nord Design System have? Do you mostly aim for minimal dependencies and write your own code? It's well designed.

Fun interview with @jackrusher.com on creativity & programming

Incredible work by Jonathan Alland, keeping Mac OS X alive jonathanalland.com/old-osx-proj...

Like HTML map tag that you could use to track points of interactions?

Zyphr Tracks module. The mixer basically consists of volume (gain) and a multi-band compressor. Every band can be toggled on-and-off. The selection of tracks will typically reveal an instrument module on the right.

More about the Tracks module here: docs.shawnlukas.com/zyphr-studio...

It gets so much worse once you start adding position too...

What does a shape that 10.7 px x 10.7px positioned at (7.49, 3.22) even mean?

Obviously you have to round a some point but... does figma/photoshop et all round to the device pixel? If not, how do they prevent jitter as you move?

Oh the joys of writing your own software 🙃

Weird alternate lowercase "G", haha.

Disc wheel interaction. One wheel but one can use fingers to slide A and B to slow the song down or speed it up with Rate-and-nap feature. Sync just tries to align both songs according to rhythm.

Unfortunately I couldn't post there anymore.

Zyphr Deck.

Just to DJ music with a smartphone within the crowd.
