  1. ICYMI, Here's me showing off some audio work, from my 20 years in #JavaScript #development: sgxengine.com/slytherin This is a simple #softsynth that
    also demonstrates #harmonics. Works with MIDI and #LeapMotion #webaudio #webmidi

  2. 2/3 The first new vendor is UB DSP.

    And, their currently only is called Grit Blender—a fun toolbox that makes it super easy to add warmth and, well, grit to your audio signals.

  3. 2/3 The first new #linuxaudio vendor is UB DSP.

    And, their currently only #plugin is called Grit Blender—a fun #harmonics toolbox that makes it super easy to add warmth and, well, grit to your audio signals.

  7. Given mass-frequency identity, matter is an #energy pattern whose #harmonics give it #resonance (i.e. mass), therefore matter and particles and atoms etc get defined in terms of mass resonance which conveniently resolves massless photon (and other) issues

  10. @emsquared I fell into a #SoftwareDevelopment #FugueState and stayed up way to late and then tossed and turned thinking about #harmonics and how to scale frequencies to pitches so I can make more #BonkWave #ElectronicMusic. It was worth it, but I feel really 'special' this morning.

  13. Ok, I understand the mechanics of piano #music now.

    Nutshell:
    • Piano’s can be tuned to any key, it happens to be C we chose most likely because it is perceptively the happiest.
    #Math wise, an octive up is a frequency doubling, which is a human brain meets physics thing.
    • The first, the second, the major third, the perfect forth etc are just 1,2,3 etc names for the keys in the octave. The major minor stuff is how they relate to ratios.
    • An “octave” is deceptive as in modern maths we'd call it a #septive. There are 7 keys A-G with the 8th being the next sequence.
    • Equal temperament is maths straight lining the octave like drawing even spaces on elastic before pulling it, the method is x root of 2, so for an octave it’s 7th root of 2. It is easier to do the math equivalent 2^(1/7).
    • Piano’s are tuned to 12 keys, #dodective, the 12th root of 2, because these smaller slices allow the other notes A-G to find their octaves.
    • No octave is true in equal temperament of 12 but are close enough for the human ear. It's also why we have a major and minor third. Tuning for C means that the C octave lines up with the front big white keys.
    • Ancient maths didn't have base 10 and the decimal so they used ratios. The major third (E starting at C) ratio at 5/4 is exactly 1.25 in decimal and the minor third (E flat) at 6/5 is exactly 1.2. For comparison the true octave note for E in equal temperament is 1.22, E flat, but on 12, E is 1.26, much closer to 5/4.
    • It's about us so the ancient method of ratios is more akin to what we like, which is why C leans to the major third for E in the piano design.
    • The reason why music is hard is due to #harmonics, where the tones can clash keys.

  20. New recording! 3-minute pop song with a car metaphor :-)

    This is one I wrote a long time ago, and did the singing for earlier in the year. It was nearly ready a few weeks ago and then I got busy. Beetling away on it last night to finish the recording and make the artwork, with the little incentive-boost of getting a version out on #BandcampFriday :-)
