Whistle Synth Mac App

My program that uses whistling to control a synthesizer is now available in the Mac App Store: It's free, no ads, and open source. If you have a mac and like to whistle, give it a try? You need an external mic, headphones (wired to minimize latency), or both; I recommend the former. Living in this age of genies I've had Claude heavily redo the implementation, and it is lower latency, no longer stutters, and has more voices to choose from. Plus, as above, it's now a Mac App. Latency was the easiest and fastest: I pointed the mic into the headphones and asked Claude to bring the latency down. This gave it everything it needed to measure round trip latency, and it tried a few different things before figuring out that it needed the callback API and a few other tweaks. This got audio rount trip time (ignoring pitch detection and synthesis) down from 80ms to 5ms. Fixing the stutters was a matter of splitting up the logic into a detector that gave instructions to a synth. Ironically, this…
