After sleeping on the above and watching some videos about Gemini 2.5 (especially Sam Witteveen’s at [1]), I decided to ask Gemini for an enhanced version of the synthesizer. Here it is:

This was the prompt I gave to it (through a spoken interface, thus the length and repetition):
“Attached is a website I had you create for me yesterday based on the prompt that appears in another attached file. In that latter file I've also included your thinking process in response to my prompt as well as your explanation to me of how this synthesizer is supposed to work. I am basically happy with the synthesizer you created for me. It works very well, and the output is fascinating to listen to. But I would like the music produced by it to be more melodical and contrapuntal, that is, with more distinct notes that can be perceived forming melodies while still having the random and unexpected and creative generation of those melodies. I would also like to have a broader frequency range of tones that are being produced. For example it would be nice to have something like a bass line. Continue to make the music unexpected and creative and generative. That was one aspect of the music that was very positive for the first result: the fact that I could keep listening to the produced music for a long period of time and not get bored by it. So try to make the tone soundscape richer, more complex and with more sense of melody and counterpoint. Also add any more controls you can think of to make the, to give the user even more ways in which to affect the output, such as more fine tuning on the degree of tonality vs. atonality, conventional harmonic structures vs. unconventional harmonic structures, clear rhythmic patterns vs. unconventional rhythmic patterns, etc.”
The first result had a lot of digital clipping in the output on my M1 Mac mini. After some back and forth with Gemini about possible causes and solutions, it added a limiter and some more controls. The problem persists on the Mac mini. On my M4 iPad with Safari, the sound is clean. I kind of like it.
