One of my favoured things in #modular #sound #synthesisers is the negative envelope and #inverted #VCA. Inverted VCA is a unique technique in modular that no other instruments can provide. Traditional VCA opens up the volume (or filter) when the key is pressed and we can hear the sound. Inverted VCA closes when key is pressed or signal received and we will not hear the sound until we release the key. It's a good #compositional tool for opening the sound for adding other #instruments or #noises.

Researchers From Stanford Introduce Locally Conditioned Diffusion: A Method For Compositional Text-To-Image Generation Using Diffusion Models https://triangleagency.co.uk/researchers-from-stanford-introduce-locally-conditioned-diffusion-a-method-for-compositional-text-to-image-generation-using-diffusion-models/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #TheTriangleAgencyNews #Compositional #Conditioned #diffusion

@hirokisayama there are a couple of emerging (no pun intended..) areas that for now I would put inside big circles, but that in another 10 years might become the label for the big circles themselves: #compositional #gametheory and categorical #systemstheory/categorical #cybernetics. Basically #categorytheory applied to both macro-areas.
