In plain words
Oscillator Bank is a spectral synthesizer that generates sound based on graphical data. Launched in 2021, it allows users to create audio by manipulating visual elements, converting graphics into oscillator parameters. The tool is designed for musicians, sound designers, and artists interested in exploring the intersection of visual and audio synthesis, offering a novel approach to sound creation through visual programming.

Fragment require an audio server in order to output any sounds, the audio server must be launched and run alongside any sessions. It is available for Windows as a .zip package and Linux as an installation free AppImage packaged into afrom fsynth.com

I built a synthesizer based on 3D physics2025 · anukari.com · ▲512I've been working on the Anukari 3D Physics Synthesizer for a little over two years now. It's one of the earliest virtual instruments to rely on the GPU for audio processing, which has been incredibly challenging and fun. In the end, predictably, the GUI for manipulating the 3D system actually ended up being a lot more work than the physics simulation. So far I am only selling it direct on my website, which seems to be working well. I hope to turn it into a sustainable business, and ideally I'd have enough revenue to hire folks to help with it. So far it's been 99% a solo project, with…

Cloning a musical instrument from 16 seconds of audio2022 · erlj.notion.site · ▲185In 2020, Magenta released DDSP [1], a machine learning algorithm / python library which made it possible to generate good sounding instrument synthesizers from about 6-10 minutes of data. While working with DDSP for a project, we realised how it was actually quite hard to find 6-10 minute of clean recordings of monophonic instruments. In this project, we have combined the DDSP architecture with a domain adaptation technique from speech synthesis [2]. This domain adaptation technique works by pre-training our model on many different recordings from the Solos dataset [3] first and then…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
