PSA: When playing Muse's Map of the Problematique with a Kemper + Ableton, do not try automating the Pitch Shifter pedal. For some reason, it lerps the midi signals. Automate the Transposer. Requires sending 4 midi signals instead of 1 (AI can help w/ that) but sounds perfect. You're welcome. 🫠

Back from #gpc2025. Great to have a graphics conference in the EU with high quality presentations. Especially loved the one about path tracing in Doom The Dark Ages and raytracing voxels in Teardown. Very entertaining! www.graphicsprogrammingconference.nl

"VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL can be used efficiently in nearly all cases. Aside from a few specific scenarios, such as image initialization or presentation, developers no longer need to use layout transitions at all, just use GENERAL!" Thank god! 🙏 www.khronos.org/blog/so-long...
