what if I made a little visual programming language for my synthesizer 🤔

and here's the patch for that sound
Also now that I have tile types with multiple inputs and/or multiple outputs, I went and cleaned up manual connect mode to make it a little more clear what's going on.

today I added an envelope generator and some basic midi functionality. and then I made this absolute dog shit patch :3 #mollytime

it'll be a bit of work to do, but I want to eventually add a convolution verb to my synthesizer so I don't have to run it as a separate program. I'll probably also end up rewriting it to be a FFT because it would be nice to be able to have longer samples and maybe run several convolutions simultaneously. That might be "get a better computer" territory though.

I had this really great ambinet patch going where it was these washes of noise convolved with a short clip from the chrono cross chronopolis bgm, and I recorded 3 minutes of it but audacity just totally mangled it. There's this part that sounded like a storm rumbling in the distance but it was just the patch clipping, and that seems to be the danger zone for recording and playback I guess.

so you're just going to have to pretend you're hovering gently in a vast warm expanse of sky and ocean with no obvious notion of down, as a storm roils off in the distance, during an endless sunset. the moment is fleeting, yet lasts forever

saving and loading is probably going to be the next highest priority feature now. you can do a lot with simple patches, but it would be nice to be able to save the more interesting ones

I've got saving and loading patches working 😎 that was easy

I've been very careful so far to make it impossible to construct an invalid program, but I'm eventually going to add a reciprocal instruction (1/x), and was pondering what to do about the (1/0) case and I had a great idea which is instead of emitting infinity or crashing, what if it just started playing a sound sample as an easter egg. I'd have to add another register to the instruction to track the progress through the sample though.

I haven't picked out a good sample yet for the (1/0) case. A farting sound is too obvious and puerile. The most hilarious idea would be to start playing a Beatles song on the theory that if you messed up the copyright autotrolls would kill your stream, but I don't want the RIAA coming after my ass.

I might just have the rcp component explode if you feed it a zero.

ok it's less sensational than stuffing an easter egg in here, but I realized I can simply have it refuse to tell you the answer if you try to divide by zero

I'm thinking of adding a tile type that could be used to construct sequences. It would take an input for its reset value, a clock input, and an input for its update value. It outputs the reset value until the clock goes from low to high, at which point it copies the current update value to its output. This would let you build stuff like repeating note sequences with two tiles per note + a shared clock source, and you could use flipflops to switch out sections.

I made a crappy oscilloscope for debugging. Every frame it draws a new line for the magnitude of the sample corresponding to that frame. This does not show the wave form accurately because it's just whatever the main thread happens to get when it polls for the latest sample. This is mostly meant to help check the magnitude to verify that it matches expectations. A red line indicates clipping happened. #mollytime

And here's what an eccentric patch looks like in scope view. I'm using the RNG node as if it were an oscillator, but I didn't try to correct the range, so the samples are all positive. Also it clips like crazy. Anyways here's 3 minutes and 29 seconds of hard static to relax and study to. #mollytime

personally, I highly recommend the 3 minutes and 29 seconds of hard static

I reworked the oscilloscope so that it now shows the range of samples in the time frame between refreshes. Here's a short video fo me playing around with inaudible low frequency oscillators. Also, I added a "scope" tile which you can use to snoop on specific tile outputs in place of the final output. I'm planing on eventually having it show the output over the regular background when connected so you don't have to switch modes to see it.

The scope line is sometimes a bit chonky because it's time synced, and recording causes it to lag a bit. It generally looks a bit better than in the video normally.
You can also make it worse by taking successive screenshots :3

one of the things I think is neat about programming is the way fundamental design decisions of the programming languages you use inevitably express themselves in the software you write. for javasscript it's NaN poisoning bugs. for c++, it's "bonus data". unreal blueprints have excessive horizontal scrolling on a good day. blender geometry nodes evolve into beautiful deep sea creatures. as I've experimented with mollytime, I've noticed it has a wonderful tendency to summon friendly demons

> A cosa serve il Sí al referendum sulla magistratura ? A “toglierla di mezzo”. Interpretazione autentica fornita dalla capa di gabinetto di Carlo Nordio, che ha scritto la riforma. Togliendo di mezzo i giudici, si tolgono di mezzo anche le regole, cui pure il governo deve sottostare. Stiamo sereni?

@arisunz I would love to see a Gleam version of OCapN btw :)

@arisunz Do you mean the protocol Goblins uses (OCapN) or the paradigms Goblins covers?
For the protocol, see https://ocapn.org/ which has an implementation guide here https://github.com/ocapn/ocapn/blob/main/implementation-guide/Implementation%20Guide.md
For the programming environment, there is a heck of a lot in there to unpack. If you wanted to look at it, Goblins' Guile implementation contains a pre-goblins directory which sort of walks through the steps for building up a bare minimum version of Goblins' concepts, though the working version today has much more than that.

Leadership change announced at Bluesky.
I think Jay Graeber's biggest accomplishment: she allowed the Bluesky engineering team to follow their hearts on what they saw as pursuing the best design. Not easy to do given all the other pressures in the role.
Best of luck with what's next, and I hope future leadership does the same.

I fratelli Safdie hanno girato film di indubbio successo. Poi si sono divisi e Josh ha realizzato quest'opera che è candidata a tutti i premi del mondo https://mastodon.uno/@fucinafibonacci/116000144866869734. A me non è piaciuta. Mille volte meglio "The Smashing Machine" di Benny. Ma credo di essere influenzato da un immagine di uomo che, solo generazionalmente, mi vede più vicino a #DwaineJohnson. E dalla presenza di #EmilyBlunt. Dannazione e redenzione di Mark Kerr https://ultimouomo.com/mark-kerr-chi-e-fighter-mma-protagonista-the-smashing-machine
