Not pretty, but delicious. My girlfriend is now one of the few French people to eat a jalapeno popper 😮 (she liked it)

Nice to have some tech-death visit little ol’ Grenoble. It has been a few years since I’d seen Allegaeon. Got to chat with Ezra afterwards. #metalsky

I just discovered Aligot last week, so can confirm.
Aligot being prepared by a man. It’s a mixture of potatoes , cream and a local cheese from the Lozere department of France. Preparing it is a bit of an art form

Over the years I’ve seen a *lot* of (metal) bands. Metallica and the “top 4”. From Emperor, Agalloch, Satyricon to more obscure bands like Celeste, Ulcerate and Znowhite. But until yesterday I had never seen Iron Maiden. The sound was shit and they were tiny, but they’re off the list. #metalsky

That was in Lyon on a street know for street art. I didn’t get there fast enough before it got partially covered. It was a great painting, but it wasn’t Banksy

I got all my spectral followers working , but it’s not loud enough in the bar to show off (I assure you all it’s really cool!) I also got my chaotic modulators mostly working (there’s a bug with the pendulum). And now the ui work to expand to 8 modulators, #guitarsky #weirdguitarnoises

almostEric @almosteric.bsky.social · 01/02/2026
My humble Ui (remember this is going to be a small touch screen)
This screen is where you choose a modulator to edit and what type it is (lfo/follower/sequencer, etc)This is the lfo screen. Euclidean lfos are really cool (basically lfo only cycles on beats) . I like being able to combine different types of waveforms, randomization models and quantization. All themselves can be modulated This is where you choose how much each modifier affects a parameter. It’s in the middle of a refactor since I’m going from 4 to 8 modulators (plus expression pedal and midi)

I actually got this for my (French) girlfriend’s birthday yesterday. I did not know before that back tea needs the water at 85º while green tea should be 75° 🤷‍♂️

Quick demo of solar wind. It’s a stereo multi tap , reversible spectral delay with per tap fx. Everything can be modulated. Still need to get the dynamic fx working This is just a D chord being played Then I need to get it running on hardware 😬

I really need to get ASIO capturing working, but here is my pedal prototype doing 4 PLLs. Some PW modulation, a sequencer modulating the frequency multiplier. Theres also frequency quantization and a little am tremolo on a couple of them . I think this pedal will be a lot of fun 😈

My spectral delay is coming along nicely. Rhythmic multi taps, reverse, frame shifting, band shifting, algorithmic sieves, phase manipulation, with every parameter able to be modulated. This has it all 😎
