It supports MIDI, audio tracks, and plugins, offering features like beat/bassline editors, a piano roll, and a sampler.

3D Printing Puzzling

If you enjoy puzzles, especially those involving spatial awareness, I offer and unusual outlet – 3D design for printing.

In particular when using a code based design tool such as OpenSCAD, it’s a challenge, but an interesting one, to generate and position shapes by coordinates and transforms in a 3D workspace. The coding aspect isn’t too daunting, and there’s almost instant feedback in viewing the result on screen.

The actual 3D printing of the real thing is a different matter, I’m thinking more of an art form to get that right, but sometimes still needed as feedback.

I’m finding it a mindful exercise in a way, much like other puzzles.
