#p5js worked well in the main hydra website when I tried it at last night's #AlgoRhythms

Unfortunately doesn't work in flok.cc
P5js takes over the canvas and either no hydra effects are displayed or no P5 canvas is displayed. For that reason I don't have high hopes of the hybrid working in the other multiframe environments such as dente.cc

Tried to transcribe the #AmenBreak in #strudel using drum patterns that came up in Internet searches. Comparing with the original sample, there seems to be other instruments that were not expressed in the pattern.

It is good that the variety of live coding platforms continues to be wide ranging. I had feared it would become a monoculture with the recent influx of newcomers having strudel as their entry point.

Love seeing wacky experimental stuff such as live-cranking a pipe organ that is live coded in realtime

I had looked into the H-1B visa program back in the 1990s when my parents were pushing me to emigrate to the US. Even back then it was being massively gamed by the tech firms and consultancies.

I ultimately chose to take my chances with the British work permit scheme as a path to Indefinite Leave to Remain and eventual British citizenship.

An experiment using FM synthesis but replacing the sine function with two cubic Bezier curves. When the ratio between carrier and modulator frequencies is irrational, the result approximates noise with a very long period so that the time parameter can act like the seed.

The #bbc_iplayer feed seems to be 1 minute delayed behind the #Freeview feed which was itself delayed with respect to analogue TV back when they were still being transmitted.

Gone are the days when I would hear simultaneous yells emanating from open windows as I walk outside avoiding watching major sporting events.

Wonder if I can figure out what service people are tuned into based on the delay.

At least the single rail #opamp #oscillator circuit works with these counterfeit chips. Maybe I'll turn them all into #LED blinkies and Schmitt triggers.

#electronics

#Fake operational transconductance amplifiers I bought on #EBay over 6 years ago. Date code doesn't make sense given that Intersil discontinued the #CA3080 over a decade ago. The real chip should have a diode across pins 4 and 5. Only one chip seems to have it -- but it is reversed. The rest have resistors between pins 1 and 4, and between 4 and 5, consistent with an op amp that provides offset null pins. Pin 8 also seems to be connected. Both 1 and 8 should be NC.

I do have a 1N5822 Schottky

Comparing datasheets
SK26 60V 2A
1N5822 40V 3A

The voltages on this side of the switch mode power supply are not expected to be much higher than 12V DC. This wall wort is rated at 600mA 7.2VA. The electrolytic caps are only rated up to 16V

Will it work?
