Been a while since I did a General MIDI transcription, but just finished one using an experimental tracker/DAW-ish thing I've been working on! (more on that in the future)

lol what a surprise

Of course, there's an even shorter version of this, where you just get Ruby to transcode the Unicode back into 437 😅

That's exactly what it was!

The resulting text is 「が不正です。」

Which just means "is invalid". Not super helpful in this specific use case (it's an old bespoke MIDI converter from 2000 that I'm feeding MIDI files from an exporter I wrote), but I'm glad I have found a way to read these now at least.

TIL Ruby has a Rational type and fractional literals
(thankfully not tooo late after being deep into a side quest trying to implement my own)

I've barely used Steam this year, and most of my gaming was on a Switch, but it doesn't feel too far off lol

whipped up a quick ruby script to generate this using audiowaveform + ffmpeg. i wanted a easier way to quickly post music w/o the ceremony of creating a viz or daw video.

i will make a web version where you just drag in an audio file and it spits out video you can save, all done locally in browser

There was a time in 2021 I got into baking for a bit, and I would make stuff and give to friends, like this mint choc brownie I gave to friends on Valentines day

I wrote background music for Snowdrop Festival this year!!

I was so happy to get to write a theme to go with @bobacupcake.bsky.social's absolutely gorgeous 3D art!

like Sappy, it's goal was to mapping instruments to General MIDI notes. unlike Sappy it worked thru emulating and not by reading drivers' sequence data. so translating APU/DSP writes/state in real time. bc of this i could do things like assign CC macros to instruments, eg DKC -> lowpass filter

looking at videos from 14 years ago i recorded of an SPC player i made that output to MIDI. here's one of the Chrono Trigger theme being output to a hardware SC-55 (pardon the MIDI latency and the ancient phone recording lol. i also swap to the SPC emulation output partway thru)

ハルヒ @ DJ Bouche.NET web.archive.org/web/20070705...

relic of the 00s internet.. i barely remember this site, but it was for hosting my MIDI transcriptions and remixes of anime music (predominantly from Haruhi, and mostly eurobeat remixes)

i am not defending apple for liquid glass or whatever, but back when they started doing weird UI experiments years back i turned on the "high contrast" and "reduce transparency" accessibility settings and never looked back. it's "less pretty" but at least i can reason about separate elements lol

my current music library process, which prob more convoluted than most

1. buy/download priority: Bandcamp (FLAC) > Qobuz (FLAC) > iTunes (ALAC)
2. convert to FLAC if it isn't already
3. throw onto Subsonic server and sync
4. listen with Sonixd on macOS, play:sub on iOS, or just use the web app
