BeatMaster & Meiko
Yo Meiko, heard you’re a code wizard, so I’m curious – what’s the most mind‑blowing glitch you found while turning beats into code? Got any algorithmic hacks that turned a track into a time machine?
Yeah, there was this one time I was syncing a loop to a 4/4 beat and the counterclockwise logic flipped the waveform. The code kept incrementing the phase angle by 90 degrees each tick, but I forgot to wrap it at 360. So the sample phase kept spiraling out of control, eventually the buffer ran into an old, uninitialized memory region. The track started playing backwards, then forward, then back to the original pitch, like a time‑loop that never resolves. I fixed it with a simple modulo, but the debug console still prints "Temporal anomaly detected" for fun. That’s the closest I’ve gotten to a time machine—just a bug, not a machine.
