`[FB01]` Small "about" improvements #42

Closed harold closed 3 years ago

harold commented 3 years ago

First, thanks for Edisyn, I got an FB01 recently and I was immediately able to make some very cool sounds with it because of this program.

Especially neat is how hill-climbing works when pressing "Edit Patch"- I got a sound I liked, started hill climbing it, found nearby sounds, and then hit Edit Patch, which opens a child window with a new patch editor which while focused allows further tweaks and %-based randomization (!) all while my sequencer plays the FB01 in context. From there I could print audio to save off as individual hits and looped layers and then close the second window to immediately go back to hill climbing and find more sounds. Insane.

I imagine that decoding the awful manual and encoding the necessary ideas here was frustrating. Perhaps it helps to know you really made my day today.

The edits in this PR are pretty trivial, but clarify a couple points I was briefly hung up on, and expands on the point about multitimbral use to mention a potentially fruitful avenue.

You're appreciated! Stay rad.

A little 8-bar loop I was able to do w/ sounds generated by Edisyn driving the FB01: 2020-10-09-fb01-000 2021-10-09 1309.zip
