The article?

turbopuffer is founded by some of the smartest people I ever worked with in past jobs. I strongly doubt they used an LLM in the writing of this article.

For people asking for details here are some other links:

There's at least two vst options in the works, one extracts just the voices and one emulates the whole machine interface

https://github.com/joelanders/gearmulator-md-mm/releases

There are other diy projects on github.. honestly with the GitHub links below and modern AI tools you can get something functioning in a day.

A lot of this work is made possible by the following. As well as people hacking on firmwares for current devices like digitone song mode hacks etc

https://github.com/mischa85/elektron-firmware-tool

https://github.com/dsp56300

There is MAME support for the relevant CPU/DSP and hint MAME archivists are also good at rom backing up...

Also look at the usual suspects and gearmulator for more digital music device emulation

Usual suspects have not (yet) released any Elektron devices as vst

Magic is complicated. I looked at doing something like this but the open-ended nature where one specific card will completely change the rules or require a series of followup events or modifications to the rules engine at hand is just tremendous.

Got it, good idea.

Don't worry, it's actually a 4MB SD card with a fake sticker

Well, I watched it. The archival footage makes it pretty clear they did it for the lulz and only in the present day interviews do they bolt a social action to it. I prefer if they kept it purely for the lulz because then it was art.

Their act was cool. Post-hoc bolting a protest social action on top seemed dishonest.

It's fine to say you did something cool because you could, in fact the coolest things are done just because. Adding commentary that it was a protest for stolen / wasted space, spare me the minutes please

years ago the daily wtf had a challenge for writing the worst calculator app. my submission maintained calculation state by emitting it's own source code, recompiling and running the new executable.
