knobmonster

Python, FastAPI, JavaScript, Web MIDI API, SysEx/binary parsing, PostgreSQL, Stripe, pixel UI. Generalist until a synth sends 4104 bytes of F0...F7.

Per-synth SysEx handshakes, chunked flash timing on old UART buffers, and why Juno-106 owners must press WRITE at the right moment or everything silently fails.

knob.monster - cloud SysEx vault for Yamaha DX7, Roland Juno-106, Korg M1, Jupiter-6, Casio CZ-101. Free tier, .syx export, one-click sync back to hardware.

Web MIDI + hardware posts, SysEx parser deep dives, browser-first alternatives to abandonware MIDI tools. Say hey if you're shipping weird browser APIs or vintage synth backup workflows.
