  1. Finally remembered the name of another exhibitor I spoke to. A researcher reproducing the Digital Dronezilla by Philip Loarie published in Synapse Magazine Vol 2 / Issue 1 in 1977 :)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synapse:

    This looks like a really fun circuit, and this magazine has a lot of other really interesting articles too in its short run of just 14 issues.

  2. Made it and had a brilliant time wandering around #Synthesized

    I saw an original Minipops analogue drum machine and heard the Oxygene rhythm playing "live". I've now finally seen a Yamaha TX816 and Casio CZ-230S.

    I also saw a #MiniDexed in the wild and @thejpster 's great "PC game sounds through the ages" demo :)

    And a pile of other stuff I've forgotten!

    And of course the CCH itself is very good - I've not been before - I totally recommend it (they have a Z80 fest coming up shortly btw).

  3. Fingers crossed I'll be wandering around #Synthesized today at some point, at the Centre for Computing History :)

  4. Little Heroes by Norman Spinrad (1987) ..."It's the near-future, and the #music #industry is tanking. They're looking to cut costs and a big one is the overhead for the actual #musicians. Obvious answer: eliminate them. The #technology is good enough that a perfect human-looking star can be #synthesized, but so far they haven't created one with any juice. Enter Gloriana O'Toole, the Crazy Old Lady of Rock and Roll, and the two techno-dweebs ..." librarything.com/work/108380

  5. @bwebster What @bigzaphod wants to do should be possible; I've written a macro myself once that does just that, where you write the init yourself and put #synthesized or something where you want to insert the synthesized property initializations, like this:

    init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
    #synthesized
    self.derivedProperty = self.decodedProperty + 5
    }
