Fun for music experimenters

[Larz60+]

All for fun, for those who love music and can't afford propeller reason (which, howvere is worth the $400).

This has probably been around since Adam, but new to me:
Open-source virtual modular synthesizer

written in cpp ... please forgive.

cpp? what's that? do i need to cry?

i hope i don't burn out any modules, this time.

I tried some of the kick starter videos, and here's a good one to get started with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXQNhpu_vJw&t=6s

Haha, that was my thought too.

I was a 'C' programmer for many more years than python (first used at Bell Labs in NJ)
and used until 2013.
But this is after all a Python forum.
So the courtesy.

i wonder if anyone has used cpp with or on python. i have used it in c to read config files long ago.

and i still use c on occasion. i last worked on any c code in 2016. i do most everything in python, these days. it can even accomplish most system level things i do.

I used c++ for quite a while, starting somewhere in the early 90's.
I fought it in the beginning, for quite a few years, my C programming
used classes, we just called them structures! I also used data driven software,
and dictionaries (mine were hashed tables with lateral expansion).
Once I got used to c++, I was OK with it, except for it's massive size,
which is no longer a real issue. (Remember when 4k core cost about $20,000).

Ooooof. This is before my time, and I can't imagine spending that much.

loved it!

some people built computers with only 256 bytes (or was that bits) of memory. there was once a CPU called 4004. it was able to run very small programs.

i remembered when someone asked me to join a project to "build a computer". i was so disappointed to find out they were going to use the 8008 microprocessor. i wanted to design the instruction set and implement it. now days i code less assembly and more python.
