Music and music technology journalist, composer and electronic artist/dj. I make cdm.link, work on the meeblip.com synth, and cover creative technologies. Activist. Lebanese-American background, came from Kentucky, now in Berlin.
This is the full SuperCollider synth running in a browser, high-performance and with an OSC API. Hard to overstate how powerful that is, and it's just the beginning.. Incredible work by @samaaron.bsky.social ...

Don't worry, you can still make massive @valhalladsp.bsky.social sounds with FutureVerb! Suddenly this Trinity patch sounds very different...

Building @cycling74.bsky.social Max for Live Devices now has the power of Ableton DSP. Part 3 of the newcomer-friendly patching guide is up.

Meld doesn't have audio-rate FM. But now you do. And here's what two chips sound like (build this!)

West Coast dreaming: improvising with GForce MAP, plus more places to hear sounds and understand this synth. It's really a modern take on West Coast, with effects being a big part of it. cdm.link/gforce-map-i...

... or some keys, if you like. @klevgrand.bsky.social is a perfect combo with this one (even before I add Walls, which I will absolutely do the moment I open this project again!)

@novationmusic.com Play collab from them is an excellent gift.

The latest from @ewanbristow.bsky.social -- and it's an instabuy. Hands on:

A detailed, completely newbie-friendly guide to patching with Max for Live, thanks to the new Ableton building blocks packed into Max.

Back to school now -- starting with pt. 1. You'll be shimmering in no time.

Whether you want to sketch in ideas quickly or roll the dice, the new @sinevibes.bsky.social Cluster v3 is more than a multi-filter and a sequencer. It's a whole deep sound processing engine.

Hands-on:

Not an arpeggiator, but a "note agitator." I had a long chat with @daedelus.bsky.social and @rainbowcircuit.bsky.social about their new collaboration on the plug-in Tinge. Also played with this live Saturday with Sculpture (also heard here.) What a gem:
