Time to TAP THE SIGN. jobs.polymer.co/... Looking for product + project managers, designers, and engineers!

@aaronlammer It's mostly keys I haven't ported all the Eurorack stuff over from staging.

I've made much larger Spaces but I'm not allowed to share them because according to MARKETING being an overweight middle-aged dad who has hundreds of cards about modular synthesizers isn't COOL now.

The goal is to make it super-easy to make stuff like this with friends (this took about 20 minutes, and I made it myself because my friends abandoned me). Then you can curate and improve the data. You can add your own non-web data, too. app.aboard.com/...

Thank you Mike!

All right. @Aboard is in Beta. @richziade and I are to blame, and everyone else deserves true credit. Here's an animated GIF that explains the entire product. Check out aboard.com, sign up, and we're waving in tons of folks every day.

@jeffehobbs nah just hitting the regular keyboard and clicking (but I do control it with a sequencer or from inside of Ableton)

Noise + resonant comb is right for the attack but then you kind of need to resolve to slightly detuned oscillators. FM is good on the low notes because it gives you blobby harmonics and then you modulate that into a cleaner sine on higher notes. Anyway we've been quarantining

The way I relax lately is to semi-compulsively make pianos using noise and comb filters in Surge XT. Move a slider, hit a key, move a slider, hit a key, drink a whiskey drink, drink a vodka drink. Next step is to solve for articulation, although God only knows how.

My co-founder @RichZiade is trying to become a Microsoft Edge Add-ons developer—his only dream in life—so that we can launch @aboard. But we are not able to get past the employment verification step. Does anyone who works on @MicrosoftEdge feel like ruining their afternoon?

My father asked me to preserve his manuscripts/poems and put them online after he passed. I just finished the project and I'm grateful to the @internetarchive for providing open infrastructure that makes collections like this possible. archive.org/...
