work in progress #bespokesynth #synthsky

there's a part of me that _likes_ having everything exposed and messy... but I've finally admitted to myself that it's impractical to stick to that ideal

here's a look at a new "interface" module, now available in the latest bespoke nightly: youtu.be/doDEtCytQGA #bespokesynth

here's a demo of bespoke's new latencycalculator module, plus a fun accidental discovery that you can use it to measure real-world distances (???) youtu.be/9TesmE8e3-A #bespokesynth

tassel cowboy was the life of the party

awesome times playing #somerville #porchfest yesterday with acid basket!

and once I get this technical part out of the way, the actual "recreate the move workflow" part can begin!

I'm using the move's "control live" mode, and having bespoke pretend to be live. much of the "control live" mode works very similarly to push 2, so I'm able to leverage a lot of the push 2 API that ableton generously released on github, and just need to adapt a few things to work with move instead.

I really love the move hardware and workflow, but (as is my way) I really want the ability to push it a little further add my own features. my goal is to recreate much of the move's functionality within bespoke, paired with bespoke on a steam deck, to make a mini music-making station.

...and it's pretty similar in many ways. the display format for the screen is pretty wild though. once I get further along, the code for this will go up on bespoke's github as well.

I'm using the public push 2 API (github.com/Ableton/push... and github.com/Ableton/push...) which was mindblowingly awesome of them to release, and then doing some reverse engineering from there. I've got a head start since I already wrote bespoke's push2 integration (github.com/BespokeSynth...) ...

and away we go!

I really love figuring out how to make hardware do stuff that it's not meant for

there's so much I want to do with bespoke, and so few decades left to achieve it!

woah, sweet: the ableton move uses a very similar protocol as the push 2 for communication, so with only a minor tweak, bespoke already has some minimal move support

sweet! I plugged the push 2 into the steam deck, and the integration with bespoke works out of the box, I didn't have to fix anything!

thanks paul! finally in the clear and out of quarantine

"hello, 40 year old man, now that it's several days before christmas: what did you think of that unicorn diary set that you purchased from us in early december? what do you mean, you 'haven't opened it yet'?"

thanks chris! pretty much all better now, and the quarantine period is finally over tomorrow

how does bluesky work? what's the vibe? do I do hashtags here? #bespoke #bespokesynth #synthsky

how did I find the time to put out a new release of my open source project during the height of the christmas season, you ask? why, I simply contracted a rare influenza-A strain and have been living in my basement in quarantine, which is a pretty effective way to clear your calendar.

hello everyone! yesterday was the december solstice, so let's start our new solar year with a new version of bespoke: 1.3.0! download at bespokesynth.com or on github, and here's a song to celebrate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XjR...
