Cardinal Web has been updated!
It's like the Cardinal plug-in. A eurorack-style modular audio canvas that you can build synths or effects in and use in your DAW, live setup or share online.
All modules are built-in so Cardinal patches are fully portable also between operating systems.
That is - unless you use the Ildaeil module to load external audio plug-ins into your Cardinal patch ;)
TODO: make a Cardinal t-shirt that links to a web patch :)

Wolf-Shaper new release!
It is the v1.0 🎉
See more details at https://wolf-plugins.github.io/wolf-shaper/
It is not my own plugin, but I helped bring it up to speed to latest DPF stuff.
Grateful for the plugin, somehow I get mentioned 3 times in the release notes 😊

Now with VST3 and CLAP 👏
#clap
Anyone using super-mega-high-dpi screens?
Just patched wolf-shaper to support high-dpi stuff, tested with a 10x scale render 😱 😂

when scaling up like this we can easily spot the small 1px inconsistencies oops 😅
Continuing the adventures on MOD pedalboard and web-assembly-compiled GUIs..
The workflow of click-to-focus was too awkward so I have changed that now. The usual bypass switch was also missing, which gave me an idea...
What if we use a window-like top-bar with the bypass switch on it? Then the “window title” space can be for the plugin name. It reminds me of the Gnome Desktop 😅
Wondering what's moving into the public domain in the US in just a few days? Our colleagues at Duke's Center for the Study of the Public Domain have published their annual review: https://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomainday/2023/
Celebrate the public domain with us January 19 & 20: http://blog.archive.org/2022/11/30/the-best-things-in-life-are-free-two-ways-to-celebrate-public-domain-day-in-2023/

the sad reality of open source software development
In short: folks love the amazing decentralised encrypted comms utopia of Matrix. But organisations also love that they can use it without having to pay anyone to develop or maintain it. This is completely unsustainable, and Element is now literally unable to fund the entirety of the Matrix Foundation on behalf of everyone else - and has had to lay off some of the folks working on the core team as a result.

We finally released version 1.0 of the REUSE helper tool to help projects with understanding their license information.

When you have a web frontend stuff and are doing web-assembly+webgl experiments on the side, the conclusion is obvious - let's mix the two!
took some time to setup, and still doing testing, but damn got plugin's full desktop UIs working inside the browser. 😱
the audio is processed on a remote system with the wasm+webgl for the frontend view (among the other MOD things of course).
I love how we can integrate the 2 like that. specially like being able to do web GUIs without web tech 😅
