   I've recently developed a LV/React bridge and am using it on a production app, but nothing open sourced at the moment. I'll open it up at some point soon and try and post back here!

   If you like the idea of tailwind and don't want to look at utility classes and still want the power of styled-components or react-emotion I'd check out Chakra UI [0]. [0] https://chakra-ui.com/

   Nice work! I like the option to annotate with photos and notes! Have you guys checked out Spire? It's a free app, but could be paired with their hardware. It's different in that it's a really simple app for multitrack recordi

   I've been building a Next.js app with a Django backend using django-rest-framework and dj-rest-auth. dj-rest-auth[1] handles auth and registration out of the box and takes no time to get up and running. [1] https://dj-rest-a

   This is similar to a problem I ran into when building Bezie. I needed to keep track of the current tempo to send out MIDI clock events. I ended up using a web worker since `setInteral` was unreliable in backgrounded tabs. Here's the wo

   I open sourced Bezie ( https://github.com/jperler/bezie ), a library I wrote three years ago for MIDI automation curves. It includes some good examples of how to interpolate cubic and quadratic bezier curves given drag p

   I got motivated today after this post and finally open sourced Bezie! If anyone wants to see some of the bezier logic I used you can check that out in `app/utils`. https://github.com/jperler/bezie

   I considered it, but ended up sticking with MIDI for versatility. Do you know of any good resources to learn more about OSC?

   I'm in full agreement that bezier curves are hard to learn to use well! I created an app called Bezie ( http://bezie.io/ ) about a year ago in which you could create quadratic and cubic bezier MIDI automation. I ended up

    Here's an interesting presentation by the Winklevoss twins that steps through the elements and narrows down which could be used as currency and why: https://www.slideshare.net/winklevosscap/money-is-broken-its...

    Bezie gives you finer automation control in many DAWs, but not all. I don't think you'd gain anything from Bezie in FL Studio. Aside from automation, Bezie also allows you to connect a MIDI controller and trigger Bezie automation

    Thanks for the suggestions! Do you have any examples or ideas of how a software controller like Bezie could be used in a DJ setup? I'm open to exploring this a bit further - feel free to contact me directly at support@bezie.io. Thanks

    Thanks! Do have any examples? I'm not familiar with bounce curves.

    I followed De Casteljau's algorithm, not Catmull-Rom. The control points that you drag are at t=0.5 for quadratic and t=0.25 and t=0.75 for cubic beziers. De Casteljau's algorithm gave me a bit more flexibility to validate and con

    There will be more control to select specific MIDI channels per envelope in the next release, pitch bend being one of them.

    Yeah - Bezie definitely didn't take years! It's interesting that basic curves don't exist in some DAWs. My guess is that the codebase is monolithic and there's probably lots of legacy code that is hard to touch. Hopefull

    MIDI notes are definitely out of scope for Bezie - I've had a couple of ideas, but they all make sense as separate utilities.

    Bezie has some overlap, but the use case is a bit different. There are a couple of VSTs like LFO Tool and MIDIShaper that allow you to create a fixed width shape and toggle how many bars it should stretch over. In Bezie, if you select 8 bar

    Funny - I've actually had several people ask me if this will work on mobile or tablet. I guess I can conclude that there's interest in that. I think it could definitely be an interesting project and next step for Bezie - Thanks!

    The original motivation of Bezie was to build a simple tool to enable finer control over bézier curve automation. It evolved from a MIDI clip generator into a MIDI controller. Bezie opens up new possibilities with cubic and quadratic bézier
