Say you have a #sampler that can operate as a kind of wavetable #synth. If you want to implement unison and chorus, you would presumably do that essentially by having unison do the duplication prior to any panning or filter or whatnot (unison being basically about the oscillators), and chorus would be essentially multiple voices, just with each voice detuned by some amount. Does that make sense?

Hm, I've been pondering, what would happen if I started posting random, incomplete snippets of groovebox related stuff... things like random "I want to add this thing to our sampler engine" or "hey, which of these options would be better" kind of stuff... would people care? Would they even maybe answer the questions if I post any? I guess I might just start and see what happens :) #synths #groovebox #samplers #sequencer

Well, then! Looks like Server Meshing is doing that whole progressing thing ;) The newly freed patch notes and experience reports from the #starcitizen avocados says that... apparently it's working! One meshed server crashes, the other one stays up, and the crashed one recovers (currently) in about two minutes. For the first semi-public test of a feature like that... i did not expect it to be quite so smooth as that :) Future's looking very interesting there ;)

Oh damn, so... One of the more prolific #StarCitizen videographers and podcasters just got hit by the whole Twitch banned in Turkey thing (where they live), but they also got slammed by some severe flooding, and their house is basically ruined. Very extremely not awesome situation. Patreon signups obviously welcome, but there's also a gofundme organised to try and help them out, if you can: https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-tomatoes-relief-fund

Omai, not only is there that #StarCitizen free-fly going on (see previous posts), the delightful and relaxing Book of Travels and Meadow games (and their sound tracks) by Might and Delight are currently 25% off :) https://store.steampowered.com/developer/mightanddelight

Oh, and a fun random additional thing there - there is a problem with gear (that is, things that are not a vehicle) bought on the pledge store at the moment. Basically, if you lose it, you've lost it until the next patch drops. BUT! The next patch, version 3.23, has a HUGE pile of things being added in, and one of those things is what you can see in the screenshot here (and read in the alt text). It is still marked tentative, but they've recently had pretty good track record of getting things in

Oh look, there's not only a #StarCitizen free-fly happening right now (play the whole thing, entirely for free, until the 15th), but there's also a really neat referral bonus thing happening (both a speeder bike type thing, and a full set of armour/weaponry type stuff) if you buy a $40+ perpetual-access game package sometime before the 25th. Yes, i got the date wrong on my reddit post here, but the rest is good ;) https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizenreferrals/comments/1amynty/starf3v9nvlk_for_5000_uec_bonus_drake_dragonfly/ - if you want help, give us a poke and i'll do my best :)
