Soundtrap has basic versioning (nothing like Git), comments, and online multiplayer. I don't use it, but I was impressed by the presence of these features.
There is also an auditory gap detection threshold, but no wiki page, sadly.
I think a "streamdeck with knobs" already exists :) And if you want knobs and sliders, search for a "midi control service." You would then use something like midi2macro.

> is it just me, or is delivery weirdly off-beat sometimes?
I played with it for a while and implementation is perhaps not the strongest aspect of this project.
I enjoy Patterning too. One limitation of that representation is that it doesn't seem to lend itself to working with loops that evolve over time. I don't know if it could be accomplished by some isometric view of stacked wheels (patterns) or a slinky, but maybe a Petri Net?

Sadly, I can't run GLM 5.2 locally.
I get that people here have reasons to hate on Ollama but it has two genuinely strong points:
- it makes it very easy to use open models with a lot of harnesses and assistants via `ollama launch`;
Their $20 subscription is very generous, and they claim not to log or train on your data.
I will be curious to see if their subscription ever supports the ~3T open weights models announced this week.

Nicely done! Would you consider adding an Agent SDK login for Claude for those who don't have an API budget and want to avoid potential issues with Anthropic's capricious policies around CLI use in third-party apps?

Lovely name! I implemented profanity monitoring in my Hermes setup to identify "learning opportunities" for my agents. It is quite useful. If you are budget-conscious, one challenge is determining what is the smallest number of previous rounds that Hermes needs to correctly infer what it did wrong. Curiously, Claude Code is horrible at figuring out what it did wrong. I often read its memories, and they are rarely useful.

$300 is my employer's monthly cap on Claude Enterprise. It lasts me at most a week of moderate use. I would much rather get Codex Pro and Claude Pro or Max, which would cost ≤ $200. For $300, one could also add Gemini Ultra to the mix so I could have all three review each other's code, etc.
Claude can be very good but enterprise pricing doesn't make sense to me.
What price range, if you don't mind sharing?
Thanks. I will try this! I need to read up on how to work with vision models for both generation and understanding.
Very useful website. Would you have insight into what models are best at editing existing images?
I often have to make very specific edits while keeping the rest of the image intact and haven't yet found a good model. These are typically abstract images for experiments.
I asked gpt-image-2 to recolor specific scales of your Seedream 4 snake and change the shape of others. It did very poorly.

Neat! I might give it a try.
What do you mean by interfaces in "These interfaces can do literally anything on the host machine. You're responsible for your own security"?
Also, your backdooring image links to a 404.

There has been promising work on olfactory training, which you can do very inexpensively at home. If you can, I would consider seeing any ENT first to rule out polyps, etc.
I live in a big city. DoorDash always delivers to an address 10 minutes away walking from my building. It is quite inconvenient in the winter. With human drivers, you can at least try to convince them to use Google Maps, but with an AI?
On second thought, prompt injection via delivery instructions?
For synth heads, there is also a well-regarded Syntorial app/course. (BTW, has anyone tried their Building Blocks? There are very few online reviews.)
What I don't quite get is why manufacturers of midi controllers (Arturia, Novation, NI, etc.), with the exception of, possibly only Korg, don't release any of their digital instruments as mobile apps. After sitting the whole day in front of my computer, the last thing I want to do is to swap VS Code for Ableton or Kontakt and spend a few more hours in the glow of my monitors.
(I do get that if you are very serious about making music you need a proper computer set up. I am just a mere amateur hobbyist.)
