This is really impressive! I love how you combined AI assistance with schematics, patents, and ROMs to recreate it.

Thank you so much. Yeah it's really cool. I also bought myself a copy of Max MSP and I'm recreating it visually so I can tweak all the parameters and really understand what's going on because the AI did all of the theory for me but I have all the numbers. When you tweak the numbers it makes it sound totally different. So yeah I'm excited. This is what I want to do with my life. I want to build electronic music gear. I'm not saying AI is not going to be able to do that one day but I just can't do web programming anymore. I don't know. I've been doing it too long and I just don't like it anymore.

  • Wait you used Claude Code to recreate patents and schematics? Are the schematics for this easily available somewhere? Was Claude just able to one-shot this?

    • I use Claude more as a learning tool in this context. It's kind of funny actually got the idea because I heard that in China they're basically replacing teachers with AI, where we're trying to get AI out of our school systems in the United States. So I went into it with that mindset instead of trying to have Claude do the whole thing to teach me how to do it so I understand it and I'm still learning, trying to recreate things with Max so I can have a lot more control and really play with it. I'm learning that reverb creation is a real craft.

      It's not able to one-shot it yet but I'm sure that's coming this year sometime. I did the UI a hundred percent by myself and I went in there and tweaked it and tried to rebuild it and just try to understand how reverb works etc. I also did a lot of the software licensing just because I have experience with that.
