Why is it so hot in Finland right now? I thought being so high up north would mean I would get to enjoy cold weather for a bit, errrrr

@sampo and other nice folks in Helsinki, anyone got plans for this Friday?

Being able to use full desktop plugin GUIs on a web platform is never going to stop being amazing.

master_me coming to github.com/moddevices/mod-desk next release ๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸŽ‰

that makes it 3 plugins made with DPF that can use their desktop GUI as the "modgui" interface inside mod-ui:
- Cardinal Mini
- master_me
- Wolf Shaper

such a treat ๐Ÿฐ

Well I'll be damned, it's working!!!

Not only the mixer but also the line out circuit

It sounds like it's clipping bad however, but I'll need to see rather than hear it to confirm.

The vu meter obviously does nothing yet as its mcu hasn't been programmed yet

Cardinal 24.05 is released!
This is a quick bug-fix release that also brings 2 new plugin modules.

github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/re

We now have an old-style music tracker in Cardinal ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐ŸŽ‰
Checkout a very small demo patch in cardinal.kx.studio/live?patchu

PS: I updated the online version already with the RCM modules coming for the release after this one, so you get both a music tracker and piano roll in your browser now ๐Ÿ˜˜

This @briankrebs story is so wild

โ€œAs detailed by researchers at Radware, NoName has effectively gamified DDoS attacks, recruiting hacktivists via its Telegram channel and offering to pay people who agree to install a piece of software called DDoSia. That program allows NoName to commandeer the host computers and their Internet connections in coordinated DDoS campaigns, and DDoSia users with the most attacks can win cash prizes.โ€

the more I look into the mobile application ecosystem the more depressed I get...

it is quite tough to find a simple tool without ads or user data tracking, damn so frustrating
I just wanted a nice way to play offline files... ๐Ÿ˜ โ—

This is on iOS because someone offered me an iPhone a while back, but these sorta things make me not want to use it.
I might just buy an old style "mp3" player again, dedicated physical buttons are a plus.

A little origami is always nice for keeping mind occupied while also relaxing at the same time.
Can 100% recommend.

These ones were made following youtube.com/watch?v=-mKRKSCn3q

web views verified to work on windows too (previously I just used wine under linux)

somehow ends up feeling very natural hah ๐ŸŒท

Web view progress, well basically it is working... ๐Ÿš€

Now just a matter of cleaning up and documenting the process.

For now it only handles loading local files, no embedding html/css/js in the binary. But I think that is ok, these resources are shared across different plugin formats so they are better off not stored inside the binary.
Exception would be if trying to hide those? but it would be so trivial to bypass that doesnt feel worth it.

You can currently disable them but the writingโ€™s on the wall, itโ€™s the end of the searchable internet

Patching modules at

After so long playing with them in Cardinal, I got to try the physical version.
I really miss the "connect a source to multiple targets" thing from the software side.

Also using purely Befaco modules is a bit of a challenge.
Definitely a nice experience though.

Latest project in the category "Is it actually useful or just an elaborate #shitpost?": #USB2Speakon!

It's a fully self-contained, USB-C-powered, 2-channel DAC + 5W Class-D amplifier inside a #Speakon connector.

Use it to connect your phone / laptop to any passive loudspeaker and enjoy surprisingly loud music (probably enough to host a room party)

(GitHub link for the interested: github.com/RainbowLabsDE/USB2S )

Video of it in action and build log below:

#usbc #dac #audio #amplifier #stagetech

Just posted another patreon update

TL;DR: announcing the github.com/falkTX/lv2-gtk-ui-b project, carla forcibly needs to update to Qt6, web views in DPF will become a thing and Cardinal will soon be put in maintenance mode.

Have a nice day! ๐ŸŒˆ

Did you know you can use C/C++ ternary operators without having to repeat the 1st value?

This:
```
int x = 1;
int y = x ?: 2;
printf("y is %d\n", y);
```

is valid code and prints "y is 1".

Basically makes it work alike the Javascript "let a = b || c" syntax.

Neat ๐ŸŒ…

Anyone recently updated Ardour and got a bit sad that some plugins lost their custom GUI?
I have a solution for that, I hope to make a release for it soon.

github.com/falkTX/lv2-gtk-ui-b

Testing and feedback would be very much appreciated if you use any these LV2 plugins:
- Calf
- EQ10Q
- Invada

github.com/DISTRHO/DPF-Widgets is looking specially neat today. ๐Ÿ“ธ

Recently added a LVGL widget, as a way to learn the toolkit as I might need it for work.

Trying to make DPF a nice little framework to work with, it has been 12 years already! ๐Ÿ˜…

Using a web browser view as an audio plugin UI allows for some very weird interactions... ๐Ÿ˜…
