Fun. I love the UI style. See also the Endless Acid Banger: https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/acid-banger/ And happy Acid August! Every year we celebrate the 303 with a club night in SF. https://ra.co/events/2208013

Lovely. People should likewise check out The Endless Acid Banger for ambient beats: https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/acid-banger/

Can somebody recommend some music theory book/course for this algorithm or the one in https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/acid-banger/ to make sense? Obviously, there are some pretty simple rules to predict that something sounds alright, some more complicated ones, and baroque music is notoriously algorithmic. But I still have no clue. I tried to research something across these lines before, and I cannot quite recollect what exactly was the problem with the books I came across on my own (I think it was mostly just too basic to be useful), but somehow I never got any "general" understanding of "how music works". Even though I've got some very basic solfeggio training long time ago (admittedly, I was too young to ask questions I now find interesting and understand what's the purpose of what we were doing there, but at least I can read the notation).

Love vitling's work! https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/acid-banger/ previously posted

I think you really picked up what I was trying to do with the score, glad it came through. I had some feedback from a art curator about a previous piece of work that I was going to show (this one in fact https://www.vitling.xyz/welcome-to-tech-talk/ ), and she didn't really understand what was going on. After explaining what was happening and how it all works she told me "I love it now; but you're hiding all the interesting parts from the audience". One of the interesting parts about generative art is that the "work" I do is really the ruleset/algorithm, rather than the audio or visuals that come out of it, so I always want to find a way to show what's happening 'inside the box' so to speak. Source code can be nice, but only for those who can read it, and the core idea often gets lost in boilerplate and technical weirdness. That's where I got to the idea of writing a score for it instead, which just lays out the basic premise of what's going on - enough to understand that what's being played is generative but not so much as to get lost in the detail.

This person is also the creator of the marvellous "endless acid banger" which you can waste hours with in your browser, and which made me get my own physical 303 clone to start derping around with. https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/acid-banger/ Also of note: all the demos open to a silent "click to start" screen, and all the autoplaying videos are muted by default even, like on TFA.

Does Safari freeze/reloads pages? As far as I can tell, at least to me it just slows down Javascript execution but keeps them open, to the point it messes up with some websites, like this: https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/acid-banger/ . I never "caught" it reloading pages like the old Chrome Sleeping Tabs extension did. Or do you mean Safari for iOS? I'm thinking of macOS Safari here.

I really liked this one: https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/triple_saw/ - very moody!
