I enjoy playing the nylon acoustic, I realize! But I'm always worried I'm going to break it because it's very light and I am a very twitchy kitten.

[aud@fire.asta.lgbt]

so yeah; in between being lil miss shaky hands and captain twitchy of the SS twitchenheim, I think I definitely feel more relaxed playing the electric.

But the nylon acoustic IS really fun, and I like the feedback from the resonance chamber; you can feel it in the neck of all guitars but it's cool to have that stronger feedback all over the guitar, too.

@aud now that you mention it, haptic feedback would be interesting to add to electronic instruments...

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place yes sickos.jpg

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place fuuuuuuck that would be SO GOOD

has adafruit been ruined by tariffs, or...

(although it would be a little disappointing to lock oneself to, say, the steam controller API, being able to use "off the shelf" gamepads and controlling their feedback that way would be super cool)

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aud my first choice for prototyping would probably be to take a contemporary game controller and use SDL3 to modulate its rumble, but the round trip to the computer would probably be less ideal for an analog electronic instrument than something like my synthesizer project

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aud although that might be fine for something like a beaglebone or rpi running a tricked out low latency kernel

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aud it does seem to be the case that adafruit has haptic components available for cheap still
