Longtime user too and overall it is great. The local first speed is hard to beat. The open core model is interesting too. But yes the writing experience is sometimes a bit messy, copying is sometimes awkward. There’s an annoying bug in the iOS client where you have to reopen the app to play a different audio file, which is not awful but a bit grating.

This is amazing! This is a fantastic concept generator. The verisimilitude with specific composers and techniques is more than a little uncanny. A few thoughts after exploring today…

- My strongest suggestion is finding some strategy for smoothing over the sometimes harsh-sounding edge of the sample window - Perhaps it could be filling in/passing over segments of what is sounded to user as a larger loop? Both giving it a larger window to articulate things but maybe also showcasing the interpolation more clearly… - Tone control may seem challenging but I do wonder if you couldn’t “tune” the output of the model as a whole somehow (given the spectrogram format it could be a translation/scale knob potentially?)

absolutely love this project!! will definitely use this as compositional aid...

a few thoughts:

- it would be nice to go "the other direction" here too -- from a set of chords, tell me the possible ambient key environments

- the only thing ux wise i can pick at is the squiggly underline

- support for modulation would be amazing (a basic query there might be just "find any/all common chords between two selected key environments")

Definitely an almost amusing overlap between different senses of “singularity”.

Such civilizations might be like “simple germs”, their self-sustaining black hole vessels interacting and stirring things together; perhaps the cores of the most “interesting” galaxies are sentient, waiting for one femto-tech civ to arise from a trillion slime-ball planetoids — to make first Contact...

The more general possibility of “intersecting” reality at right angles has been taken up in a few additional works I can think of: in Count to Infinity and Excession.

Don't these definitions have a more solid statistical economic meaning here? As in: middle "class" is the middle quintile of income. This makes the other strata fall pretty reasonably too:

80%-100%: Ruling Class

60-80%: Upper Class

40-60%: Middle Class

20-40%: Working Class

0-20%: Lower Class
