Announces pytheory-opxy project — 69 multisampled instruments and 12 drum kits
for the Teenage Engineering OP-XY, all synthesized from Python using PyTheory.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
69 instruments and 12 drum kits generated from PyTheory's synthesis
engine for the OP-XY and OP-1. Includes step-by-step installation
for non-technical users.

Bare SoundCloud URLs now auto-embed as the minimal 20px player strip
instead of the default large oEmbed widget. YouTube/Vimeo still use
standard oEmbed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
SoundCloud, YouTube, and Vimeo URLs on their own line in markdown
are automatically replaced with embeds via oEmbed API. Results cached.
Updated NumPy synth essay to use bare SoundCloud URL.

Tighter, less breathless. Same code and structure, fewer narrator
asides telling you how to feel about it.

Swagger UI Execute needs responses defined to display results.
Auto-detect search query params for /api/search routes.

Schema at /api/schema now introspects api.router.routes for paths
and docstrings instead of maintaining a static dict. Skips catch-all
and internal routes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Schema served as JSON at /api/schema, docs rendered with Redoc at /api.
No more inline YAML — clean separation.

Inline OpenAPI spec avoids catch-all route conflict. Elements UI
with sidebar layout, no external schema fetch needed.

Avoids catch-all route intercepting /schema.yml.
Swagger UI at /api/docs, schema at /api/schema.yml.

Soundfonts are locked to equal temperament — math-based synthesis
lets you play any instrument in Pythagorean, meantone, or just
intonation because the frequency is just a parameter.

New essay on physical modeling synthesis in pure Python — Karplus-Strong
strings, tabla strokes, djembe cross-choking, Hammond organ drawbars.
Software pages:
- Responder: mention this site runs on it, link to colophon
- All pages: change pip install to uv add

Details how tabla strokes are modeled from physical components:
membrane thuds, shell resonance, syahi harmonics, attack transients.
Every sound is math — NumPy and SciPy, nothing else.

No longer "highly experimental thought exercise" — now shows the full
stack: theory, composition, synthesis, effects, sequencing, export.
Added links to both new essays.

/api/icon/{article_path} didn't match paths with slashes like
essays/2026-03-25-foo. Changed to {article_path:path}.

The createFallbackIcon function generated colored circles with letters
when the /api/icon call failed. Now it just skips silently — either
the real generated icon loads or nothing shows.
