The basement

RUDE generates drum rudiments as MIDI, from the 40 PAS rudiments to Carnatic talas, Turkish usuls and an Aka timeline. The page tells their history and how the plugin rolls and blends them.

This release fixes four things the panel showed wrong while the video was being planned.

A history of speech synthesis before neural voices runs from von Kempelen’s bellows to the Speak & Spell, the Votrax and DECtalk, and the chips you can still find. Three of the machines are rebuilt in code so you can hear them.

Plenty of the world's drumming does not count in fours.

This release finishes the DSP review.

These fixes come out of a review of the DSP.

How machines agree on when: self-clocking line codes, SMPTE timecode, genlock and word clock, time base correction, MIDI 2.0 timestamps, CIRC, and the disc wars. It ends on how people and machines perceive and keep time.
