Marconi Union, Mord Fustang, Caravan Palace, Pkch, Siriusmo, Jacob Mann Big Band, Shubh Saran.

That should get you a wide variety.

I’ve heard good things about Peppermint, and I personally think Bodhi is neat.

I take a similar approach to my compositions and arrangements on Musescore. Anyone can download the sheet music file and edit it, and most everything I do is under Creative Commons attribution/noncommercial. A lot of other Musescore users do this, it allows for a lot more accessible and free sheet music of both modern and classical music.

Most modern “plotters” are just bigass printers. The word used to only mean pen-based vector-drawing machines, but the overlapping use in architechture and engineering meant that as cheap inkjets supplanted the pen plotters they co-opted the name.

I’m pretty happy on Ultramarine. Its like Fedora but with more repos by default, media drivers, more DE options, and a bunch of more reasonable defaults for daily all-purpose use.

Linux users, and people who have not yet become linux users

Man, this sure does mean something.

I’ll let somebody else figure out what, but I can tell it’s something.

Ive been on the phone for an hour and they wont let me fucking cancel

As an engineer, i dont know how to feel about this. On the one hand, 19.99999 = 20. But on the other hand, 3^3 - 3 = 24.

whooosh

C++ is the only language I have any experience with, and it’s a common enough choice for embedded development that i didnt see a need to learn a different language. If i had a programmer join who could work on the firmware and show me the ropes, id be willing to consider another language.

Thanks! Render is by a friend of mine, based on my concept sketch

The algorithm will ideally be written to be portable the first time around, but its starting out on the instrument because I think the stradella bass layout lends itself to controlling the algorithm manually. Pressing a chord button simultaneously declares what notes you want played, the harmonic funtion you expext them to fulfill, and thereby how they should be tuned in relation to eachother. Other control schemes have a bit of ambiguity of intent, which we can work around, bit i think Stradella is better.

As for midi specifications, the instrument will have midi input and MPE output (look into MPE if you’re not familiar, great stuff) to controll other digital hardware or software instruments. Once the algorithm is written, I hope it will be repackaged into various other formats (like a VST plugin, or a midi/MPE passthrough that runs on a PC or a dedicated midi hub).
