Do it. Build a couple, then build a simple opamp mixer (it's a single opamp and a handful of resistors, and a couple of capacitors across the power supply), and then - get adventurous - a PT2399 delay kit.
Then take a look on https://yusynth.net at some of the VCF designs, and build one of them.
You won't have a synthesizer, you'll have some crazy homebrew drone machine that you can make scary movie sountracks with.
I thought we were all working on revolutionary AI insights... Right?
There's more?
joking aside, I'm working on a mobile app side project for a client that involves camera vision/machine learning in a heavy trucking maintenance context. Very low-ego, blue collar stuff, with a blend of modern tech. That and game dev in Godot engine has brought back my passion for coding greatly that I had lost over the last several years.
I actually brought back some of the joy of programming for myself by leveraging LLMS
Context. I'm burnt out,doing web software development for business apps for 15 years now and going
I started to get into game development. I started to test out chatGPT and claude to assist and it's been going great. I make so much progress and the results are fun which makes the coding process fun. The LLM covers gaps in my knowledge of math and physics and game dev strategy and architecture. But since I know how to code I can take what it gives and accomplish all kinds of things that would be much more difficult going on my own.
Another is a community event in South Bend, IN where people collectively organized a big art/music event in backyards, that spread and covered a fairly large area. I think it was originally back yards, then someone with a large wooded property moved the event there, as it grew too large? https://www.instagram.com/yart_southbend
Also reminded of porch hangouts that happened by necessity during covid to allow socializing while masked/outdoors to reduce risk of larger groups of people gathering indoors.
I've been using mmm.page to manage a tiny landing page for awhile, I really like its flexibility and ease of use.
It is something I would definitely look into paying for in the future if the site needs to grow into something bigger, or for other projects I want to do.
