  1. A quick recap of what I'm currently working on: I'm building a subtractive monosynth on an STM32F446 microcontroller, with all code hand-written in assembly.

    The goal is to build a synth expander that is inexpensive, independent from the computer and has enough physical controls to be suitable for live performance.

    Part of the motivation for this project is that I didn't want to remain dependent on huge janky software stacks for doing music, especially now that things are quickly ensloppifying. Nor did I want to spend hundreds of euros on a hardware synth (and not learn a single thing about how they actually work in the process).

    I've been working on this since May (with large study-related breaks in between) and it can now output a nice sawtooth signal over line out and react to MIDI Note On messages. Next up will be implementing envelope / NoteOff.

    I live-toot at #LuBuildsAMonosynth and you can check out the current state at: git.sr.ht/~lhinderberger/monos

  6. Battle of the open source synths on Linux: #Vitalium, #SurgeXT, #Synthv1, #Dexed, #ZynAddSubFX. There's also #Helm, but it's just a precursor of Vitalium (by the same developer). There are a couple more, but these are the most common or capable ones.

    I wish there was some more development of Vitalium. The creator of #Vital dropped the v1 as GPL, and then he closed sourced it. The community didn't really do much with it.
