Shared scales would be awesome!

Love to hear some of her music! Freaks me out how quickly children learn things which now takes me ages.

Shared scales would be awesome, then I could play along with my other ansible running Kria.
And the key mapping :ok_hand:
@scanner_darkly your the best!

Any chances for a 256 version merged with 256 kria?

shouldn’t be a problem once it gets merged to master.

oh cool, so earthsea already supports 256 size grids? neato

sorry, misread your message. wasn’t planning on 256 version of aeartsea but i’ll consider it when i refactor the codebase (which should be soonish)

Updated my fork of the docs. Voice Allocation is now described more accurately - I hesitate to use ‘correctly’ yet, but I’ve added an image based on @ether’s work - and I’ve added a paragraph on clocking. I think there needs to be a bit more details on clocking - I didn’t quite understand how record/playback was working, and I think the answer is “because I’d automatically patched a clock like normal”.

Let me know what you think?

thank you, will take a look tonight!

edit: looks great, just a few comments, will send those in a PM.

Nomenclature question: I’ve been calling this Æarthsea (“air-thsea”), simply because it got referred to as that earlier, primarily to distinguish it from the old Earthsea, and also because it’s new/slightly different.

Is that right, though? I actually thing the mode on Ansible should just be called “Earthsea”, in the way that “Kria” and “Meadowphysics” haven’t changed their names despite minor changes in functionality.

But asking now rather than assuming.

I personally prefer Earthsea. I think the Æ just looks a bit jumbled. :sweat_smile:

this is a good point— i agree with your logic

Yeah it seems like generally with Kria and Meadowphysics people just refer to them as “X on Ansible” to distinguish the difference between that and the older module. It’s longer and not as catchy but more in line with the current naming convention.

OK, agreed.

In which case, here’s the latest version of the docs, with some corrections that @scanner_darkly suggested and the appropriate naming:

i like aearthsea but agree consistency is important. although i have some plans for making that consistency somewhat redundant… :slight_smile:

as the initial promise of making a polyphonic version of earthsea has been fulfilled i’m going to switch back to teletype development for now to get the next beta ready (so that i have some new stuff for when W/ ops get merged). once it’s done i will go back to working on the rest of the earthsea features.

Here’s an update to my quick reference card, with various improvements, and pulling in new text from @infovore’s updated docs above.

I need to print this out and make sure everything is legible and accurate, and lines up nicely on A3.

All suggestions welcome.

This is great! Really nice work. Would love to see a Kria and meadowphysics card one day.

Thanks. That’s loosely the plan, though only for ansible versions at this stage - I’ve sold on the prior trinity modules.
