Build notes.

A running record of what changed, why it changed and what still needs work. No launch theatre—just the actual state of the instruments.

Current work

newest first

The synth has a face now

The real panel is working from playing through to saving and reopening a patch. The new screenshots are the instrument as it runs today.

No more clicks when the sound changes

A day spent making level, tuning, modulation and algorithm changes move smoothly. It is invisible work, but the instrument already feels better for it.

It plays

The first electric-piano patch came out of six operators, twelve voices and the first handful of algorithms.

The eight-track version is together

The last big pieces are working. I’m listening to DIRT one more time before signing the app and inviting the first testers.

One track became eight

The moment lq-12 stopped feeling like a sampler demo and started feeling like a groovebox.

Earlier experiments

kept for the record
