Vibe Coding Log - Sharing Journey - GUI Fine Tuning - Merging Harmonic Synth Branch

[Funky40]

I did hear it can chain tasks and do them in the background?

By using claude-desktop it can. but requires permissions to folders etc.
i just had a short chat to check waters.

I think it would also require full access to terminal (mac) etc.
At the end of the day you have a chat-AI with "full" access to your PC/mac.
i switched over now working on my music mac for this stuff. No, to risky for me to make ther some experiments. But it seems to be very useful when working on bigger projects.
Saying that as a full noob. (well, i have the desktop app installed, and we had a short go....)

Going back and forth on the knob style settings in a json. Making a backup here. I have the homepage and it has the knobs I want but somehow I can't merely say, copy those knobs and its styles to the filter page for some reason, possible because I designed the knobs in its own synth gui before transplanting to the synth. It's implemented but I guess in a way its cut off from teh rest of the synth. Hopefully Ill be able to apply these settings anywhere after this point..

I had to go back to the old old gui vst3. and build it again so i could copy just the knob json then once I got this code, it solved the issue, no more going back and forth

Progress!!!!

I can essentially apply these knobs anywhere I'd like now. That's a big deal in skinning the thing
