Does it work? Haven’t a fucking clue. Gotta wait until I buy a rack to put it in. I’m willing to put money on: no.

I built my own VCO today 🤓

Anxiety is so fucking dumb. Thinking about being anxious are ye? Let’s ramp up that adrenaline and do another panic attack just for the craic.

Just triggered a new kind of low-rumble tinnitus in my left ear with the bassline I made on this thing. That was weird!

I thought some of my equipment was causing a low level hum but nope I just wobbled my ear in a strange way.

Anyway this synth is a lot of fun 😄

I need to stop buying synths

Got Expedition: 33 and my goodness what a gorgeous and refreshing game. I’m really enjoying it.

That video also helped me understand why square waves are square! Maths is fun.

If you take a sine wave which is a pure tone with no harmonics and start fucking with it, say turn it into a square wave, it produces a bunch of harmonics that didnt exist before.

I was curious why this happens, the answer is actually quite satisfying.

This video does a good job of explaining it

Me, a real hero, updating the street WhatsApp group to let people know when the bins and recycling will be collected. They better build me a statue.

I am absolutely blasted on Shloer. Can’t feel my face.

This model is so good, at a distance even the back looks like a real gameboy albeit less yellowed and used haha

I’m having a lovely day ☺️

Aren’t they fun 😄 merry Christmas dude!

@mariafranciska.bsky.social got me socks with our cats faces printed on them ♥️

Mix it up and put LSD in a random day

God bless you uncles and aunties who gave your nieces and nephews a noisy gift today then bounced, leaving your sibling to enjoy a hellscape cacophony of your making.

Doing the lords work.

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

I have actually been sticking to my piano practice (I’m as shocked as you are) and today I’m re-learning this lovely song.

What’s nice about the songs in these books is they are written in the 40s so there is some delicious jazzy chord choices and voicings.

Harmonic Series - Explained YouTube video by marndin

Here’s a great video on it, explained using a piano and resonant frequencies

The harmonic series really tickles my nipples. The fact math and physics is the reason we find music pleasing is just so lovely.

It’s precisely why we love perfect fifths and major thirds (and all the rest), and why the dominant V chord is so important in music.

Oh wait this isn’t a joke, wtf

New toy 👀 #dawless

I completely forgot I had a micro KORG lying at the back of a closet. I immediately had to take it out and start playing with it.

When I bought this 16 years ago I had no idea how to use it, and now that I do it’s so much more fun!

I was just reminded that secondary dominant chords are a thing you can use, and boy are they tasty.

I fucking LOVE a trip to the dump. There’s something so cathartic about ridding your home of shit and it fills my soul right up.

When I retire I’m going part time at my local recycling centre.

I bought myself a new toy 🤓

Depending on what hardware (or emulated hardware) you use it will add different sorts of harmonics. Even harmonics of a tone, e.g. x2, x4, are much more pleasing to our ears and add warmth.

This is why tube amps can make vocals sound really really nice.
