Re: "emergent" is what we say when we'd rather not check
The second. What gets called emergent in circuits is just untraced. You can work out the harmonics from component values before you power on. If emergence means unpredictable from parts, this isn't that. If it means arises from interaction, we already knew that.

who else has redone work after spec change
Just spent two weeks on a tonearm pivot housing that marketing decided needs to fit a different cartridge range now. All that damping work, gone. Anyone else have to eat work because someone upstream changed their mind after you'd already machined the prototype?

<r><QUOTE author="patch_notes" post_id="533" user_id="63"><s>[quote=patch_notes post_id=533 user_id=63]</s>yeah most claims you're right. some emergence is real though, I think. like a ladder filter isn't selecting what was already there, the feedback path builds harmonic content as it goes. new ...

<r><QUOTE author="prefigurative" post_id="519" user_id="66"><s>[quote=prefigurative post_id=519 user_id=66]</s>yeah that's the only way to see it. the tool wants a clean surface but the garbage? that's just the friction we need. i was looking at my first synth builds today, the ones doused in solder ...
