    A Gopher's Adventures In Dynamicland

    Now that we know the term to search for "RealTalkOS" we can see at least one person tried to build an implementation last year https://github.com/deosjr/elephanttalk

    "Our goal is to invent a form of computation which local communities of non-specialists can make for themselves. From the ground up, for their own needs, which they fully understand and control."

    I'm LiveStreaming building a RealTalkOS implementation now. Come join and let's build together! https://youtube.com/live/02-wJ7Od9Bo?feature=share

  • Rack

    The virtual Eurorack studio (by VCVRack)

    I wonder whether someone already has build away to create modular synthesizer using block with knobs on the table. A line on the top of the knob would signal its position. (In the video I saw some shots that looked like sequencers.) You would also need some mechanism to connect the modules together. I played around with VCV Rack [1], but adjusting knobs with a mouse feels very different than using your hands to turn a physical knob. Also, I would like to have more freedom in arranging modules more freely as you could do on a table, instead of using patch cables that go into all kinds of directions. Especially for newbies, it would be an interesting way to see if they want to go into real modular synths based on Eurorack [2], AE Modular [3] or microrack [4].

  • HapticKey

    A simple utility application to trigger haptic feedback when tapping Touch Bar.

    I find the Touch Bar to be a brilliant idea, but the released execution didn't live up to the potential.
