  River (the software author) worked on this during his time at the Recurse Center and it’s been amazing to see him develop it all from scratch in C. (I contributed 2.5 lines of code on the web deployment/firebase side).He’s a friend, but I am very unbiased in saying that the sample-rate execution of the entire grid seems like an incredible technical achievement.One of the craziest (super super noisy but fascinating to watch) grids uses just a few “operators” that generate random operators and random values, and place them at random location.That grid runs - easily! in the browser!! - at 1000 bpm. Forget 60 fps :)I’ll update my comment linking to this patch so you can take a listen. It’s stunning, organic and very punk.

  Cool project. I've referred people to Orca before--and the lack of "built in instruments" (and maybe the flow visualization) was a stumbling block. This feels more "consumer friendly" :)

  CLAVIER is amazing, the wire system alone is such a huge improvement over ORCA, and it's now feasible to make much larger patches and refactor safely, kudos to River for all the hard work on the polish and quality-of-life.I was testing MIDI on a prerelease build last weekend and it turned out quite nice: https://www.instagram.com/p/DOUUIfeEQWY/Excited for more folks to get to play with it!

  In the video, within the first 10 seconds, I should understand the offering of the product by seeing it.You can get into the details later but right now I've got no idea what's going on here and don't know why I should invest my time in it.You need to motivate people by showing off the thing.Also on the phone it just says basically "go away". Once again, show me some video, song, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, something that would motivate me to switch to a desktop.

  Off topic: where did you get the name from? There's a town Clavier (Claviere in French) in the Italian/French alps.

  Can you see if you can serve the static files over cdn, might speed up the site loading speed. claviar.wasm took 4 minutes to load here. 200MBPS connection
