I watched a video from @polarity.me about the Dome filter and just couldn't understand why a particular configuration with a sine osc creates a frequency shifter. I saw the vision after I glanced over an article from Tonalux and did the math for the simple sine-wave case. :D

Yesterday, I watched a clip from Au5 about creating a stereo sub with non-beating mono sum using a phase difference of π/2 between each side. I realised Bitwig has a Hilbert transform module *natively*, so I built myself a quick "Hilbert Widener" patch. 😋

After doing the math to reverse engineer tube and mech from Camel Crusher (inspired by 9b0's video), I realised it's of course the same as doing phase distortion synthesis, and I could reuse transfer curves I found before😩. I want to write an article about transfer curves now.✨

I published a small Python programme for converting wavetables between WAV and WT formats. It can also add CLM data to WAV files, export individual cycles, and remove duplicate cycles😊. I might build binaries later but for now, Python is required. github.com/iicaras/Wave...

The past two months I've tried to focus more on sounddesign, and while I feel like I learnt a lot, I simultaneously feel like I still know nothing and have very little intuition for it. ><

It's time to commit to a 'something music every day' challenge where every day I'll work on a piece, sound design, or racks/plugins. I feel inspired by Pewdiepie's art challenge. Not sure if I'll post about it every day though..? 🤔

It's been a whiiile since I've felt this productive with music. I have recently met new music friends who inspire me to work on music-related things again, whether working on pieces, tinkering with presets and rack designs, or learning about sound design. 2025 will be the year of new releases! :DD
