So even after 10 years you didn’t need a new keyboard, you just wanted one? I think you’ve proved the GP’s point.

Thanks for that, think I've fixed them all. But it is 1 am, so the chances I've missed something isn't zero! The API docs are all auto-generated [1] so sometimes my repo markdowns get out of sync when I refactor! [1] https:&

State can also be managed using the pure functional paradigm (using recursion to provide an updated state as an argument or using a State monad, for example). Logging is a side-effect and should be treated as such by using a declarative sid

I wrote “roughly” on purpose, but I think your description is wrong. A compressor triggers when the signal goes above a threshold, this applies a compression factor to the loud signal, which reduces the overall gain of the loud sounds (they
