Given that it was in a king’s library at one point, I think the “alchemist’s hoax for money” theory sounds pretty accurate. Court astrologers were very much jockeying for power just like anyone else at court, and convincing a king that you held a text nobody else could read that held real secrets would go a long way.

I’m one of those Mint users! Had my first survey the other day. I’m doing my part!

Worst case scenario you add some repositories, I love it

I mean I guess they’ve gotta say it. Gotta make a case.

But they need a pledge drive like their lives depend on it, cause they do.

Very neat! I dig it, that’s a fun project.

I’ve reinstalled Reaper, I gotta basically completely re-learn it before I can do much. I used Ableton and Reason mostly, again, like 15+ years ago. But it’s definitely doable with the right setup of notch filters and gates

You could maybe EQ/filter down to the tone frequencies and then pass it to a gate… a notch filter (or a couple) should work.

I like this puzzle

That’s an interesting thought. I’m useless when it comes to scripting but it’s interesting to me.

I’ve got some free time over the next couple hours, I’ll see what I can come up with.

Out of curiosity, what kinda project you working on?

That’s silly. We just haven’t figured out how to get it to work for you.

My first instinct is phase inversion. I feel like we can do this with sidechaining again though.

A couple filters to isolate the frequencies you want to remove, and then a gate? Idk I might have to fiddle around in Reaper later and see what I can come up with. It’s been like 15-20 years since I spent much time in front of a DAW. Imma think on this.

That’s the fun part! It’s also why my motto is “nothing’s ever easy”

Am self-employed electrician, I see the same thing. Everyone’s so covered up that they don’t want/need the little old lady jobs - they don’t pay well, typically. I can waste a whole afternoon for them fixing ceiling fans for a couple hundred bucks, maybe, or I can do a job that’ll make 4x that in the same amount of time.

I still take those gigs, I got into this to help people, and old folks and first-time homeowners need all the help they can get. But I’m not gonna lie to you, those gigs are the first ones to get rescheduled. I’d call em beer money jobs but I don’t drink lol.

I’m trying to keep an eye out for any other stuff I can help with, too. I’m not above working outside my trade a little if it means someone’s life improves.

Happy to help! :)

Sidechain that’s the word I was trying to remember lol. It’s been a long time since I used a DAW.

Put a volume gate on the music and take the output from the Morse Code to its sidechain input. Then mute the Morse in your track. That should give you music only playing when there’s signal coming from the Morse.

Edit: this basic technique can be used to do ALL KINDS of fun stuff. You know the dubstep wobble? Send an LFO (low-frequency oscillator, it basically just defines whatever wave you want) to the low-pass envelope filter’s sidechain on your synth. What you’re doing is:

• taking the synth you want to modulate

• making a sine wave on the LFO and playing with the frequency - quarter notes, triplets, whatever. You can automate this knob in your track in most DAWs.

• telling the LFO to control a low-pass filter on the synth - everything below the filter’s set frequency gets sent through to master, everything above it gets cut off. A high-pass filter does the opposite - it allows high frequencies through.

Now you play with LFO frequency to make fun wubwubs

What software are you using?
