work updates: end of starchild
i've been working mostly every day on "end of starchild" (previously known as time tripper circuit02) since the release of the k2 record. next week i'm expanding testing to a few more individuals, but most of the maps are in their final state. much of the actual zscript/ACS/decorate/...
some new plugins: chorus, delay, hihat
CT-PC and CT-PD:chorus and delay pedals. the chorus is an extension of my previous "horus" plugin, a little more finely tuned. the delay is a generalized bucket brigade-ish delay that tends to clip pretty easily even at moderate levels, so the feedback can get very rowdy and washy, especiall...

all of them are available @ https://msx.horse/ct.phpfor synths, it's just one, but it has been a labor of extensive love and research over the past few months:- CT-FC01 pseudopolygon: reverse engineering of the Ricoh 2A03/2A07 triangle wave generator and its associated amplification and mixin...

"i cannot write music."
two weeks ago, a strange thing began to happen. nearly every time i sat down to work, i felt repulsed by it. the sensation is hard to describe. constricting, claustrophobic, tense. i worked through it, churning out file after file of things i simply wasn't content with. with each new file, the s...
some new tools: dvn8 & soup
available at https://msx.horse/tools.phpdvn8, a single-cycle waveform generator with some fun functions, and soup, a supersaw/square/sine sample generator. the former is great for funky chiptune-ish wave generation (and more) and the latter is just a bunch of fun in general, especially for machines ...
back catalog updates & fixes
a couple backcat fixes and changes: fixed the era selector options, they no longer clear when using the page navigationadded lots of cassette and vinyl releases. for cassettes, only MP3 is offered (there is nothing to gain from FLAC here lol), and for vinyl, i've only put up select records, and ...
ecoWare+ [sndwrk β]
"ecoWare+" is an early version of "_SNDWORK/gh" and serves as an interesting snapshot of the record in a state i felt was "mostly done" early on. many revisions happened after this, most obvious of which is the tracklist. some versions of tracks here vary significantly from t...
current project update
hey all, hope you're keeping well.my current project is moving along slowly but surely, i'm 13-ish tracks in, but that only accounts for just over 20 minutes of audio, since it's pretty dense in terms of sequencing, composition, all that stuff.i have an additional few tracks started that...
blog post: lots and lots of waves
https://msx.horse/blog.php?b=blog%2F2024_03_01.nfoweird tech is excellentcurrently about 10 tracks into the next project. i'll keep you updated and all that... plenty more to do.
a couple small applications
hey all, been working on my current project and wound up cooking up a couple small command line applications in the process. they're both 32bit windows command line applications. 81mod is generally harmless but you can very quickly generate thousands - or millions - of garbage files with splunge...
health update, getting back to work, etc
hey all, hope you're well. thanks for your patience the last few weeks.my wrist is more or less better and i'll be getting back to work this week. another health issue has cropped up that may or may not become more urgent in the near future (a hernia) but i am keeping tabs on things and will...
hand nerve stuff
i seem to have done something to the nerves in my right hand - it feels like the beginning of a bad carpal tunnel flare-up, but i'm not 100% certain. i will continue working on my current project while i can (thankfully i can largely work via keyboard and can just left-hand a lot of things), but...
update/non-update
not much to say - been working on a new musical project for most of the month. not sure what the ETA is, but i hope you will look forwards to it. i am having a lot of fun with it and i think you might also maybe find it fun.been working on some fun plugins as well, which should hopefully be availabl...

internet
hey all, just a super quick update; been spending the past week or so working on redoing my website from the ground up so i can update it and share stuff more easily. will probably need a few more days, as it's taking mostly all of my brain power to get stuff organized, write all the php, rewrit...
