I’ve looked briefly at #Treesitter queries a few times, and bailed out each time because at a glance it looks more complicated than I was motivated to push through.

Turns out they’re not very complicated. A little weird… until you realize they’re structured similarly to LISP things.

Once I grokked that, it didn’t take long to undersand the syntax. https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/using-parsers/queries/index.html

Now I’ll see whether I want to do something with them beyond what comes stock in #neovim and the nvim-treesitter plugin.

Trying to understand the details of how digital audio compressors work (the dynamics kind, not the file size kind).

Naturally this means it's time to rethink my entire #neovim config.

Forty years later, I am still in awe at the magnitude of the corporate cooperation that went into the development of the Interchange File Format. Faced with a growing number of incompatible, proprietary file formats, Electronic Arts decided that the best thing to do was to make the pie much bigger for everyone.

Chordal Hold doesn't fix the problem of rolling from one double-function key to another, say from F to A. Or maybe it does a little. I can't tell for sure. I don't get tripped up by those rolls very often.

A few weeks ago I set aside my #ZSA #Voyager and considered switching back to Apple keyboards full time.

The reason: I want to use home row mods on my Voyager. But I couldn’t teach my fingers to stop rolling from, say, S to T. With home row mods, with S doubling as Alt, that often resulted in † (Alt-T) instead of st.

But now ZSA has added Chordal Hold to their keyboard configurator. https://blog.zsa.io/chordal-hold/

This fixes the one annoying problem I've had with my otherwise lovely #ZSAVoyager.

What’s a good cloud storage service for backup these days?

I found AWS unfathomable. So unfathomable, in fact, that I no longer know how to log in there.

Which is why I'm looking for a cloud storage service.

I do not need or want sync. Just backup and restore. I’ll manage my backups via Arq (https://www.arqbackup.com).

I’m finding Davinci Resolve’s Fairlight page to be too awkward for recording narration for my videos.

So I’m finally getting around to exploring Reaper, and it seems to do everything I could possibly want. In particular, it has a very flexible metadata-based way of naming the files it makes when recording and rendering.

And it can easily render files onto a folder where DR can find them, so I think this two-app workflow will be even more straightforward than doing it all in DR.

Hmmm. If I'm reading the manual correctly, it may be possible to use Serum 2 as an arpeggiator. Maybe set it to emit MIDI from the arp, and turn off anything that would make a sound.

Serum 2’s arpeggiator may not have the most usable UI (being stuffed, as it is, into the UI of a synth), but I'm awfully fond of arpeggiators in general, and Cthulhu in particular. And this arpeggiator looks leaps and bounds more fun than even Cthulhu.

Serum 2 is out, and it looks awesome. New oscillators: Granular, Sample. Multi-Sample, and Spectral. That Spectral oscillator looks quite interesting. Maybe I’ll spend tomorrow playing with that.

And a quick peek at Serum 2’s built-in arpeggiator has me suddenly impatient for the who-knows-when release of Cthulhu 2.

In this video I show, in detail, how #Bitwig Studio’s Key Filter device corrects foreign notes. The rule is this: Replace each foreign input note with the note that has the same scale degree and the opposite quality.

Huh. YouTube's new Ask feature does a really good job of summarizing my #Bitwig Harmonize Repair Manual video. And my other Harmonize videos, too.

I suppose I can take some credit. I put a lot of work into structuring my videos well. I wonder how Ask does on videos that are structured more loosely.

I would like to see an authoritative diagram of effects for tariffs. But I don't have enough expertise to guess what would be authoritative.

I can guess that tariffs put a certain amount of pressure on foreign exporters to reduce their prices, which kinda sorta indirectly pays for some portion of the tariffs. But I don't know whether that effect is swamped by other, more direct effects, like raising prices all along the chain from importer to distributor to retailer to end customer.

Clearly the best way to make government more efficient is to threaten to fire every federal employee who doesn’t interrupt their work and spend their time justifying their existence to an unelected bureaucrat who has shown them only utter disdain.
