I wish more people could get it right.

The ultra rich are not wealth creators, they are wealth extractors & wealth hoarders. Everytime the cost of several new schools and hospitals gets spaffed away on lux mansions, private jets, Mediterranean super yachts etc it is a disinvestment in society, a misallocation of increasingly finite resources.

Each new billionaire is evidence of society failing. #NoBillionaires

Tomorrow: got a new (hopefully working) SD card, so going to try and resurrect my Pi and continue exploring TouchOSC as a live controller for my DAW. And got a nice little compact panning module to drop into the rack (literally a bunch of input jacks in a row, representing left to right).

But today: Barbenheimer 😅

@Bp103 Planning to try out its OSC support in conjunction with TouchOSC. Got a Raspberry Pi with touchscreen, TouchOSC has Pi builds available (as does Renoise of course, but I'll probably take advantage of OSC over network to run it on a beefier host), already managed to get Renoise and my rig running in sync with a Keystep Pro as master clock.
Supports OSC messages for queuing up next sequence position, there's potential there... Just need the time to actually do it 🙃

@Bp103 have you considered... Eurorack?

(Both sarcastic, but also not sarcastic)

If you love figuring out tricks like this I think you would absolutely get the appeal of wiring individual units together in weird ways... But then at the same time would miss polyphony, and the less said about cost, the better. Maybe VCV Rack?

Renoise really has spoiled me. Hardware sequencers feel like toys next to it. Just needs some live performance features and it would be perfect.

Now I have a PWM synth by putting a saw wave through razor distortion at 100% drive and shifting its DC offset up and down to control its duty cycle.

eventually one of the things i want to build & use is a "waveform animator". i don't know how they work, but i do know they tend to be large and expensive.

my take on the idea is a bunch of all-pass filters, but unlike a normal phaser, sweep the filters out of sync. pan to fill the stereo space nicely.

testing out the theory in software, using multiple instances of ReaEQ and Renoise's automation LFOs to simulate the effect, to see if this is even vaguely worth pursuing. i think it could be.
