This looks interesting. Would love to see if there are examples of pedals already vibe-coded.

Very cool! Would love to know more about the audio processing backend that drives this type of thing

I hate it.

A pedal you can define with code? Kinda cool, definitely already exists, but kinda cool.

A pedal where you buy tokens to feed the ai monster to generate code to customize your pedal? Ugh. I want off this ride.

Edit - other hackable pedals:

I've done some of this using the daisy seed. For time based effects like reverb, the memory/hardware constraints can be spicy. Definitely maxed out the seed hardware before achieving the (very long) level of reverb I wanted.

The hardware descriptions here seem on the light side. I'd want to be confident that it can handle intense time based effects.

It's promising that they seem to allow arbitrary write to the device, and only charge for tokens for the people that require the prompt playground.

Looking forward to see where this goes.

As an aside: building an ear-pleasing FDN reverb on an obscure-ish board with intense hardware optimization needs has been one of my favorite barometers for the abilities of new LLM models.

My guitar teacher has a Line 6 HX Stomp multieffects pedal. In addition to programming effects patches use Line 6’s HX Edit desktop application, he also uses ChatGPT to generate patch files (they’re just JSON) by describing the effect or referencing a specific artist or song by name.

Haha, that's pretty clever. They get to sell $299 pedals, $20 plates, and upmarked "tokens" for their playground. Great example of selling shovels in a gold rush.

Usually, I'm not a big fan of Polyend products. They look cool, but they lack depth. Not the best tracker, not the best beatbox, etc. And also, I'm totally into Puredata and devices like Organelle, but the learning curve is steep. I get the idea of a vibe sound modeler. Not my alley, but that's interesting for a niche, I'd say.

I’ve been having fun using Codex CLI to reverse engineer the Eventide H90 pedal’s serialized preset file format. The little brother of the H9000. Been chipping away at mapping all the parameters and quirks into markdown docs. Codex has been happily comparing bytes and requesting variations it needs to diff files to determine what bit flipped to make what change. I can now ask “make me a vocal preset with an octave down, harmonic 3rd and a 5th up with with tight micro pitch doubling and then reverse delay in series” “Sure thing boss” file appears
