Using Claude code to develop patches for Owl Modular

I had contributed a couple FAUST patches here a few years back. I’ve been aware that the online compiler is not always maintained and it seems gone now, along with the library of contributed patches.

The OWL Modular is not particularly powerful, but the available options for programmable eurorack modules seem to fall in the $300 to $400 range, and I just plopped down probably $800 for some new things so I feel some compulsion to study and use those first!

A guy posted a patch over at Modwiggler for a dub spring reverb/delay he’d invented for the Versio module. I asked Claude to see if it could port this over to the Owl Modular. Lots of tradeoffs needed to be made, and I’m not 100% convinced about the correctness of what was done, but without much involvement on my part, Claude was able to simulate the patch and offer up a WAV file which can demonstrate whatever set of control input moves you want.

It also spit out a sysex file for programming which I did with MIDI-Ox. If anyone’s interested I can put my Claude skill for this up here.
