📖 name the softsynth OMNI + tech-manual sections (OMNI / Earth Echo / GODSONIQ)
Names the built-in browser synth OMNI (♪ tooltip, intro prose) and adds three scannable "tech manual" reference sections to the grimoire — OMNI (full voice roster + how-to), the Earth Echo (six world-driven tape knobs + Schumann), and GODSONIQ (resample + tab feed) — each a numbered how-to plus a two-column control/dest spec table (new .spec / ol.steps CSS; auto-indexed in the TOC). Every label, dest key and world→voice mapping extracted from code and verified. Fixes two drifted claims in the old Earth Echo prose the audit caught: tape wear drives hiss only (grit/saturation is static, not world-driven), and the Schumann sub is ×4 = two octaves (not "four times"). Manual: sections flow into PART I (extractor taught .spec/.row → markdown bullets) + an OMNI umbrella entry in Appendix J. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

**🌀 The Earth Echo — a Space Echo whose tape is the planet.** Right-click the sky → **🌀 earth echo**, press **♪**, and the whole mix runs onto a virtual Roland tape delay — but its knobs are wired to the living world. Its **repeat rate** is the wind (Tokyo's gusts whip the tape speed, and because a tape motor has inertia the pitch *glides* as it changes — that dubby seasick bend); its **intensity** is volatility (bitcoin's fever climbs the feedback toward a screaming, self-oscillating howl); its **tone** is the air (Delhi's PM2.5 rolls the treble off until the echoes melt into a dark, suffocating soup); its **wow & flutter** is the Moon (the lunar cycle warbles the pitch with an eerie, drifting vibrato); its **tape wear** is the world's fire (every wildfire adds hiss and grit, the machine growing more fragile as the planet burns); and a **quake** throws the whole echo forward. Best of all, these six knobs are ordinary **voices in the matrix** — `echo.time`, `echo.feedback`, `echo.tone`, `echo.flutter`, `echo.wear`, `echo.wet` — so you can drag *any* feed onto any of them, groove them on the 16-step grid, or send them out as CV. Turn it on and the world doesn't just play the instrument; it plays the *space* the instrument lives in. And underneath it all, always, the **Schumann resonance**: the cavity between the Earth's surface and the ionosphere rings at **7.83 Hz** (predicted by Winfried Otto Schumann, 1952), pumped by every lightning strike on the planet — the Earth's electromagnetic heartbeat. It sits below human hearing, so it plays the *machine* instead of the ear: a 7.83 Hz pulse forever breathing the echo's tone and laying a second, planetary wow under the moon's — and, octaved up four times to **31.32 Hz**, it hums as a true sub beneath the drone voice. It is the one dial the world never turns, because it is the size of the Earth itself — and the Earth's size does not change.

## OMNI — the softsynth, in full
|
||||
|
||||
**OMNI** is the instrument's built-in voice: not one synth but a rack of classic machines in a single browser engine — a DX7-style FM tine, a JP-8000 supersaw, a Karplus-Strong string, a Juno-106 chorus, a morphing wavetable lead, a granular cloud, a 12-bit-DAC crusher, and the planet-driven tape echo below. Nothing to install; the world plays all of it at once. (Every voice was tuned by spectral analysis before it shipped — rendered offline and measured, so it's in-tune and clean, not just plausible.)
|
||||
|
||||
- Press `♪` (top-right, or `F2`) to wake OMNI — the whole audio graph builds on the first press.
|
||||
|
||||
- Your first visit opens gently in **🌅 first light**. Right-click the sky → **🌗 mood — how much world** to move between *first light*, *ambient drift* (all atmosphere, no drums) and *the full storm* (every hand at once).
|
||||
|
||||
- Play notes three ways: enter **chakra view** (`C`) and click a wheel's core for a 12-key console (play it with the `Q…P` row or a MIDI keyboard); open **🎛 tracks** (`T`) to sequence a song; or just wire the world's data to play it hands-free.
|
||||
|
||||
- Shape the character: swap the pluck voice (**🎸 string voice** / **🎛 GODSONIQ**), or drag any feed onto `crush`, `wavetable.morph` or `granular.density`.
|
||||
|
||||
- **lead** — Morphing **wavetable** melody (mellow ↔ bright saw, swept by `wavetable.morph`). *World:* bitcoin's price & your market's average both sing the note (minor pentatonic / G dorian).
|
||||
|
||||
- **bass** — Square **sub**. *World:* earthquake depth chooses the note (low minor) — and every bass note also conducts the pad & drone pitch.
|
||||
|
||||
- **pad** — Nine-oscillator detuned **supersaw** (JP-8000, ±14¢). *World:* daylight, warmth, harmony, the birth rate & longer lives brighten it.
|
||||
|
||||
- **drone** — Sawtooth bed + a 31.32 Hz Schumann **sub**. *World:* aircraft aloft, air pressure, Saturn's wheel, poverty & the national debt thicken it.
|
||||
|
||||
- **perc** — Filtered-noise **hats** + the granular grain cloud. *World:* bitcoin volatility & market activity drive the density.
|
||||
|
||||
- **pluck** — Hand-played notes ring as a **DX7 FM tine** by default (harder = brighter) — or a **🎸 Karplus string**, or a **🎛 GODSONIQ** sample. All keys, MIDI, mind-mode & sequencer notes flow through it.
|
||||
|
||||
- **chorus · crush** — An always-on **Juno-106 chorus** widens the dry oscillators; `crush` is a **12-bit-DAC bitcrusher** on the master — route any feed at it to degrade the whole mix into lo-fi grit.
|
||||
|
||||
- **world FX** — **reverb** (quakes open the void, room light sizes it), **delay** (your hand's Y, Mercury retrograde smears it), **saturation** (Delhi's air, wildfires, hunger), **glitch** (every Wikipedia edit, light-flash & new fire fires a burst).
|
||||
|
||||
## The Earth Echo — the planet on tape
|
||||
|
||||
A virtual **Roland Space Echo** the entire mix runs onto — except its six knobs aren't yours, they're the living world's. And under all of it rings the **Schumann resonance**: the cavity between the Earth's surface and the ionosphere, pumped by every lightning strike on the planet, humming at **7.83 Hz** — the Earth's electromagnetic heartbeat, the one dial the world never turns.
|
||||
|
||||
- Right-click the sky → **🌀 earth echo — the planet on tape** (or press `F9`). It reads **🌀 earth echo: on** once live.
|
||||
|
||||
- Press `♪` — the tape only sings while OMNI is running.
|
||||
|
||||
- The six knobs are ordinary **matrix voices** — drag any feed onto them, sequence them on the 16-step grid, or send them out as CV. The world's default cables are already patched:
|
||||
|
||||
- **echo.time** — Repeat rate / tape speed — and because a tape motor has inertia, changes *glide* and pitch-bend the tail (that dubby seasick bend). *World:* the wind (Tokyo's gusts).
|
||||
|
||||
- **echo.feedback** — Intensity — climbs toward, but never past, a screaming self-oscillation. *World:* bitcoin volatility.
|
||||
|
||||
- **echo.tone** — Treble roll-off — darkens the repeats into a suffocating dub soup. *World:* air PM2.5 (Delhi).
|
||||
|
||||
- **echo.flutter** — Wow & flutter — an eerie, drifting pitch vibrato. *World:* the Moon (the lunar cycle).
|
||||
|
||||
- **echo.wear** — Tape hiss — the machine growing more fragile as the planet burns. *World:* the world's wildfire count.
|
||||
|
||||
- **echo.wet** — Wet/dry mix — also the true on/off gate (forced to silence when the echo is off). *World:* a quake throws the whole echo forward.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Schumann 7.83 Hz** — A fixed sub-audio pulse forever breathing the echo's *tone*, and laying a second planetary *wow* under the Moon's. Below hearing, so it plays the machine, not the ear.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Schumann sub 31.32 Hz** — That same heartbeat ×4 (two octaves up) — an audible sub hum beneath the **drone** voice.
|
||||
|
||||
## GODSONIQ — resampling the world
|
||||
|
||||
The browser-native **bounce** — a cheeky nod to the Ensoniq ASR-10. Capture a few seconds of the *live* world (this exact never-repeating take of Euclid fills, ratchets and drift), then play that moment back **pitched across the keys**. Freeze a moment of the planet, then play the planet like an instrument. Its sibling **🌐 feed a tab** pours any other browser tab's audio into the world so you can resample *that* too.
|
||||
|
||||
- Press `♪` first — GODSONIQ needs the audio worklet awake.
|
||||
|
||||
- Right-click the sky → **🎛 GODSONIQ — resample the world onto the keys**. It records ~3 seconds of the live master mix.
|
||||
|
||||
- Play the keys — every pluck now **replays your capture, pitched** (middle C = original speed, an octave up = twice as fast). Route `crush` at it for the classic 12-bit sampler grit.
|
||||
|
||||
- Right-click → 🎛 again for a fresh slice. Exit back to the FM tine with **🎸 string voice**.
|
||||
|
||||
- **🎛 GODSONIQ** — Records ~3s of the full master (post-FX, post-crush) into a buffer; every pluck then replays it. Tap again to re-sample.
|
||||
|
||||
- **playback pitch** — Note-spread ASR-style — `playbackRate = 2^((midi−60)/12)`, so middle C plays it at speed and each octave doubles/halves it.
|
||||
|
||||
- **🌐 feed a tab** — Right-click → **feed a tab**, pick another tab in the share-picker and tick **“Share tab audio.”** That sound (a YouTube video, a live stream) is now *in the world* — crush it, reverb it, or GODSONIQ-resample it.
|
||||
|
||||
- **the fine print** — **Chrome / Edge only** (Safari & Firefox can't capture tab audio). On a Mac it grabs one *tab's* sound, not all-system (for that, route through a virtual device like BlackHole). DRM'd services (Netflix, Spotify, Apple Music) come through silent — ordinary YouTube is fine.

## Saving your instrument
|

|
||||
- **🔊 12-bit bitcrush** — a world-drivable lo-fi stage on the synth's master bus (an AudioWorklet doing true bit-depth quantise + sample-rate reduction). Route anything to `crush` and the planet degrades its own DAC — clean by default (16-bit).
|

- **🎛 GODSONIQ (resampler)** — a cheeky nod to the Ensoniq ASR-10: right-click the sky → *GODSONIQ* records ~3s of the live master mix (a recorder AudioWorklet taps the full post-FX bus) into a buffer, then every pluck replays that capture pitched across the keys (playbackRate = 2^((midi-60)/12), middle C = unity).

The browser-native bounce — capture the world's never-repeating take, then play it.
|

- **🌐 Tab feed (external audio in)** — right-click the sky → *feed a tab* calls `getDisplayMedia({video:true, audio:{...}})`; the user picks another browser tab and ticks 'Share tab audio', and its sound (a YouTube tab, a live stream) is wired via `createMediaStreamSource` into `preSat` → the full FX chain and master, so it's audible live, `crush`-able, and resampleable by GODSONIQ. Constraints disable echoCancellation/noiseSuppression/autoGainControl (voice DSP that mangles music) and set suppressLocalAudioPlayback (no double audio). Chromium-only (Chrome/Edge; Safari & Firefox don't deliver display audio); on macOS it captures a TAB not all-system (BlackHole/Loopback is the system-wide workaround); DRM'd services (Netflix/Spotify/Apple Music) usually capture silent, plain YouTube is fine. Video track is stopped immediately; a track 'ended' listener handles the browser's Stop-sharing.
|
||||
- **⬗ Parameter locks (p-locks)** — Pocket-Operator / Elektron style: a texture voice (filter, glitch, reverb, drive) gets a per-step `lock` lane that pins its value to a fixed level on that step (blocky, disjointed), overriding the world; drag a step below the lane to unlock it and hand that step back to the data. Applied in `computeDests` via `applyGroove`; travels with the patch.
|
||||
- **🎛 OMNI (the softsynth)** — the umbrella name for the built-in browser synth: five world-modulated core voices (lead/bass/pad/drone/perc) plus a rack of classic-synth characters in one Web Audio engine — DX7 FM tine, JP-8000 supersaw, Karplus-Strong string, Juno-106 chorus, morphing wavetable lead, granular cloud, 12-bit-DAC bitcrush, and the Earth Echo tape delay. Woken by ♪; the grimoire's 'OMNI — the softsynth, in full' section is the full reference.
|
||||
- **🌊 Juno-106 chorus** — an always-on subtle BBD-style stereo chorus on the synth's master bus (two short delays warbled by slow LFOs, panned wide) that warms and widens the dry oscillators.
|

- **🔊 12-bit bitcrush** — a world-drivable lo-fi stage on the synth's master bus (an AudioWorklet doing true bit-depth quantise + sample-rate reduction). Route anything to `crush` and the planet degrades its own DAC — clean by default (16-bit).
