- Wire EOCChain into audio graph after c15.start() (both start-btn and
quick-play paths); guarded by _eocInited flag so init happens once per
AudioContext lifetime
- getOutputNode() on C15Adapter now returns limiter (last node before
destination) so EOC inserts correctly between limiter and destination
- Expose limiterNode getter on C15Bridge
- Add getCurrentParamValue(i) to EOCModule base class, backed by _paramValues
array that setParam() writes to
- Add _buildParamSliders() to EOCChainUI: collapsible ▶ params toggle per
module row, one range slider per paramMeta entry, calls module.setParam()
on input; labelled "manual" when nispsMode=bypass
- eoc:change listener in a-app.js logs paramCount (hook point for future modes)
- saveState()/loadState() persist eocModules (id, enabled, params) and
eocNispsMode; restore re-adds modules via moduleFactory and re-applies values
- CSS: eoc-params-section, eoc-params-toggle, eoc-param-row/label/slider;
eoc-module-row gains flex-wrap to accommodate params section below controls
Hand tracking at 30fps was writing 126 params per frame to the C15 ring
buffer (capacity 512), flooding it and starving arpeggiator noteOn/noteOff
messages — causing stuck/dropped notes.
Three-part fix:
- Arpeggiator now runs in a dedicated Web Worker with direct
SharedArrayBuffer access, bypassing the main thread entirely for
note timing. Worker setInterval isn't subject to main thread jank.
- RingBufferWriter uses CAS (Atomics.compareExchange) for multi-producer
safety — both main thread (params) and worker (notes) write safely.
- routeOutputs throttles synth parameter sends: dead-zone filter
(0.2% change threshold) + rate cap (~20fps), reducing ring buffer
pressure from ~3800 msg/s to ~50-100 msg/s of actual changes.
- Insert DynamicsCompressorNode as always-on brick-wall limiter after
master gain (threshold -6dB, ratio 20:1, 2ms attack)
- Add devmode tame parameter (0-1) controlling range constraining:
- ?tame=0.7 URL param (default) or window.setTameLevel(n)
- 0 = no mitigation, 1 = strongest constraining
- Constrain 20 volume/buildup-sensitive params with safeMin/safeMax:
- Envelope release/decay2 times capped to prevent infinite ringing
- Envelope gains kept in moderate range
- All 5 drive stages (ShpA/B, FB, Out, Cabinet) capped
- Output mixer levels given floor and ceiling
- Echo feedback and reverb size limited to prevent wash buildup
- Fix Comb Filter group count (8, not 9) in comments and color generator
Adds a secondary Synth mode (toggled via collapsible left side panel)
where the NISPS ML engine's 20 outputs control curated C15 synthesizer
parameters (oscillator PM, shapers, filters, reverb, echo, flanger,
output mixer) through a WASM AudioWorklet bridge.
Includes a chord progression arpeggiator with controls for tempo (BPM),
octave range, octave offset, and 4 selectable progressions. The C15
engine runs in an AudioWorklet with lock-free SharedArrayBuffer ring
buffer communication.
New files: c15/ (WASM assets), js/synth/ (bridge, arpeggiator, param map),
serve-coop.py (COOP/COEP headers for SharedArrayBuffer support).
