    I like how you're all like "this shitty synthesizer I made sucks!!!" and we're all like "wow, you made your own synthesizer, that's really cool"

    oscilloscopes are neat. you use them in electronics, they measure ("scope") waves ("oscillations"). basically i hook this thing to the signal wire of my synthesizer, and ground it, and it displays the wave as pictured. you can adjust the time and amplitude scales to view most kinds of waves (in this case you can see my wave has an amplitude of a couple mV and a period of not very long, like a couple hundred hertz). they also usually have analysis tools, like in this case you can see it trying and failing to figure out the exact frequency.

    well right now it just outputs sine waves, you can't even play multiple notes. it'd be cooler to have, say, a theremin

    it'll be fun to add to though, if i ever have free time again
  • really I'd argue all you need to make it work is the ability to change the pitch somehow and a way to ah

    what's the word I'm looking for

    modulate the signal somehow.

    Everything else is optional

    yeah i put in something to bend a 500 Hz (a bit sharper than a B above middle C) by a few Hz as you hold the arrow keys, but it's... not working.

    i'd definitely like to add ring modulation and some timbre control; the thing works off a wavetable anyway, so it'll be pretty easy to allow drawing your own waveforms like in MilkyTracker, if I can come up with an interface that doesn't suck

    Wikipedia said:

    the Melochord (1947) built by Harald Bode. It was a two-tone melody keyboard instrument with foot controllers and later added a second keyboard for timbre control, featuring a white-noise generator, envelope controller, formant filters and ring modulators for harmonics

    see, synths are often, like... good

    i'm in a math class. prof handed out a (non-graded) worksheet. pretty simple problem, except for "sketch this plot" which sucks. but anyway, the provided plot has the wrong scale based on matlab's plotof the same thing. off by like five orders of magnitude. i hate this

  • i had the weirdest hitch hike

    first i got picked up after only 8 minutes (!)

    then i got dropped off at a rubbish spotspot and waited 2 1/2 hrs but ended up , uh, driving some dudes car 30 miles down the motorway for him? which I've never done before

    then got an apparently good spot where everything seemed fine but i waited 4 friggin hours but then got picked up by a cool polish van driver who took me basically all the way to london and now I'm here

    He did one a couple weeks ago, but it got deleted from YouTube and is only up on Vimeo.

    I know, but still.

    The Weeknd is a curious artist. "Can't Feel My Face" is a great song, though.
  • I've spent ten dollars on Fallout Shelter which is amazing because it has brought me nothing but another source of stress

    Sorry, mang.

    The Transportation Fairy has proposed that we dismantle the Railroad Track Leading To A Cliff And Nowhere Else

    I dunno how to justify the expense though

    dude's made some weird music

    his early stuff is very druggy, hazy R&B, and his newest album is nothing like that at all.

    I am well aware. I once referred to his work in a conversation with Naney as "ketamine orgy r'n'b," and the latest album seems to be half an evolution of that and half shockingly enjoyable MJ worship.

    why do I read things I know will creep me out

    I could venture why I think I do it, but it might not be a satisfactory answer in your case.

    of course. she's a scary black person, she might have hurt that poor white police officer by...uh...not immediately giving him her hands?
