I'm a little off-cycle; my videos are usually on Sunday, but I had some time this morning to do one.

No sweat!

Seems to have gone a bit quieter here...

Yeah, at least you're posting cool videos 😀, I am planning for a new video but I am really busy currently due to a lot of client work.

Actually, your synth-script reminds me of old-school sound-routines on the c-64 and amiga, although your synth setup is much sofisticated offcourse. Can you program a complete song with your script environment or do you need an external sequencer like ableton for that?

Maikel van de Lisdonk A song language is in the future for sure. I have several options: • Ixi-lang • Sonic Pi • My own thing, like Extempore or a pattern language like Tidal Cycles. Since my tool is designed as a live coding IDE, I may do 1 or all of these. I haven't decided yet. I've certainly been thinking about adding some simple functions to play notes through this janet API; If I can add a callback/thread, I could have it schedule notes. Note sure yet, but if you look at my earlier videos you'll see that I am also working on a 3D visualization of the sound. So I want to get to a point where I have everything working in one place before I go too far.

For those DX7 patches.. were you working those sounds out by ear, or were you looking at the actual values of oscillators and filters and such used in their presets?

Mostly I'm copying from other synth setups. The Dexed (free) DX7 emulator is a good source. I'm not quite the same because my envelope doesn't have a secondary decay setting, and the DX7 values are hard to quantify (it is based on integers that go from 0-99 in the opposite direction you'd expect). I also lack the ability to feedback into the modulators, but I will fix that soon. I also need to add muxing several modulators together, but that's just graph pins/wiring. Once I have that, I can do some of the other patches such as 'flute' and 'bass'.

A very promising domain specific language for doing graphical animations. I suggest you consider dropping most of the brackets and braces as those are slow characters to type. Use a single delimiter when possible. The percentage of punctuation is inversely proportional to the practical use of a language.

My kind of project - nice 🙂

You should definitely checkout Ronin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=SgAWGh1s9zg&feature=emb_logo

Yeah, this is nice, definitely the direction I'm excited about. Looking forward to more.

Update: I didn't do much this week due to RSI, but I've fixed the problem of "What happens if you've used a field that doesn't appear in the type definition?"

I feel you. Hands?

Yeah..
