@Tamasg @Scott @BorrisInABox Now feed that into a vocoder and have this gigantic radio voice going "search and destroy" and then a killer dubstep drop, it would be perfect.

@Scott @BorrisInABox @Tamasg Yup, as soon as I heard that I thought of some Skrillex shit and had to get it put into a synth. It was recorded in 2019, and in 2022 it finally happened. This is the demo that A.Liv made with it, everything except the supersaw and drums are the resulting tables.

@Tamasg @BorrisInABox lmfaoooooo what, that's like the odd source of softvoice

@BorrisInABox @Tamasg SO if you actually wanted to do that for whatever reason, I can send you the wavetables which are already fixed length single-cycle waveforms, unless you already have surge.

@BorrisInABox @Tamasg This is the raw source material, which I later trimmed and did some noise reduction on, and then A.Liv carefully turned it into something that was a consistent period to be turned into wavetables, I think at 2048 samples per frame.

@BorrisInABox @Tamasg I got A.Liv on the Surge discord to kindly work with my source material and the results are now called Exocat's Metalodon in the 3rd-party wavetables folder of Surge's factory data.

@Tamasg @BorrisInABox Or it's like what softvoice did, all the different sources. Wait a minute! Is that the problem you're having with a female source? Do you need a real female glottal pulse to start from?

@Tamasg @BorrisInABox Maybe that should be a side project, an accessible formant shaper plug-in that you could put as a send from a wavetable synth and get total epicness out of it :). Although VST development is also cursed. Maybe CLAP?

@Tamasg @BorrisInABox It would sound fantastic for certain kinds of production effects, though. Although it can't give you fricatives. Pretty sure that already exists though, there are some formant plug-ins, like sonivox vocalizer. But I think they only do three formants.

@Tamasg @BorrisInABox Lol what would be totally amusing is if you used not at all glottal pulses for the waveforms, like the input to wavetable synths. Like I've got one from a washing machine that sounds like a screaming metallic monster, and it would be epic to have that as a direct vocal source, more direct than a mere vocoder.

@Tamasg @BorrisInABox Should an aggressive autotune be used to make it nice and uniform? Or would that introduce too much distortion?

@Orinks @BorrisInABox @daygar Electron. Not terrible, some focus mode for e.g. the tree view, search autocomplete etc. Have to do a fair bit of switching to navigate some of the item detail screens. Best used in firefox really, as apparently its autofill is tetchy in Chrome. It can even scan QR codes right off of 2FA pages to add authenticator apps within the browser extension, if you wanted to also use it as your 2FA app, and then it autofills there too half the time once you put in your password.

@BorrisInABox @daygar @Orinks I hope at least some other password managers, e.g. bitwarden and its forks, can do something like this, because sticking SSH keys in a manager like that is just beyond convenient when it can do that. And you could tether those to a FIDO2 key too.

@BorrisInABox @daygar @Orinks I use OpenSSH on Windows but I actually pay for 1password, and 1password supports acting as an SSH agent, which speaks win32 OpenSSH protocol. So that's my keystore. I've also got a bridge process in startup that proxies pageant requests to win32 OpenSSH, so PuTTY also uses 1password. On some websites where it gives you settings to add an SSH key, like GitHub or upcloud's server control panel, down arrow in the public key field in firefox will actually cause 1password to prompt you to generate an ed25519 key! Of course, you do still need the .pub files and ssh config to deal with the 6 key thing. But instead of storing the private keys on disk, passphrase or not, I can just log into something, authorize the key with 1password, and authenticate to my device, which is Windows hello in this case.
