We did a big AMY/AMYboard update with 7 new drum banks all pulled from Gamma 9000 2.0 [k].sit.hqx, iykyk . Made this web demo for it, you can also load this up on your hardware AMYboard

So many people are getting amyboards. We are honored. We even added a bunch of new features this week. amyboard.com

Great video by @mrfloydst.bsky.social performing the AMYboard out of the box www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1zZ...

a small interview about why we made the AMYboard!

Releasing the AMYboard today, a US$29 modular synth; standalone or as a base for DIY. It’s powered by our AMY open source synth engine. You can write music in Python or just use it as a synth. We want everyone to have fun making music without paying the modular fashion tax. Get a few: amyboard.com

Brian Whitman just launched the follow up to this, the AmyBoard, which takes the Tulip concept and puts it in a Eurorack form factor for 29 bucks. You can even 3D print a front cover. www.amyboard.com

"I told you... you ask me a question and after that you have to take a Kalashnikov to stop me!" I think about Eliane & her work often; beyond bedrock for me, but it was hearing her describe her music in the most animated, matter-of-fact way that sticks out; R.I.P. soundcloud.com/kfw/eliane-r...

So fun; DJ CALDERINO for the first hour, then a blend of Electroacoustics & Deconstructions for the second: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6x-...

I’m excited to announce that my new book, _The Irrational Decision_, is now available for pre-order from Princeton University Press.

Felt appropriate to post (you'll hear it within the first minute of the most recent "hit") that I've begun pushing the last 40 or so "Greatest Hits" onto their secondary home (after TIMJ went dark 10 years back) at soundcloud.com/kfw/sets/greatest-hits in time for that July 4th weekend marathon...

we're starting work on AMYboard, a cheap python synth as a 10HP module PCB (& can be used standalone) Write your synths or effects in Python. All the AMY stuff you love -- Juno6, DX7, sampler, filters, reverb -- stereo SPDIF, 10vpp audio in & out, 2 CV, MIDI, SD card, I2C for your knobs/displays

New AMY stuff: a fully synthesized piano voice using analyzed partials. It sounds amazing and runs on the tiniest microcontrollers. The blog post runs python itself locally including live synthesis! Please check it out shorepine.github.io/amy/piano.html
