Bad DiodeAdded a simple but functional sample selection scene and a scene manager for easier context switching. Probably want to add a little scrollbar here to aid navigation, and even consider using the crank for moving around, which could come in handy if we have many samples.
Uncrank'dRolling into a new month and a new quarter with episode 1 of the Crank Collective Podcast, an extended spring sale, #playdate game jams, dev shoutouts, Uncrank'd Live Beta on YT, and a few surprises.

Implemented the remaining controls for my granular sampler.
Grains can now be pitched, and their starting position, panning and direction randomized. I think this is going to sound pretty nice with some reverb.
I decided not to include a filter since I rather have a bit more control for the main synth and to keep the voice/grain count as high as possible.
Next up, sample selection and voice recording.

Did a bit of optimization and now things are running smooth with 6 voices/grains. To assist benchmark changes I added a toggleable debug screen with some collected timers.
On the PD the audio callback size seems to be 256 samples, which at 44100Hz give me a budget of 5.8ms per audio frame. I’m cutting it a bit close at the moment, but this DSP code could definitely be improved. I’m doing the entire DSP in F32 since the CPU has a nice floating point unit but I’m guessing it would still be better to work on the native S16.
Added multi-grain playback and random grain panning. Gotta need to improve the performance a little, on device I'm starting to dip below 30fps, but there is a lot of room for improvement here.
Still, as a proof of concept things are taking shape!
