fix(gimme_acid): the EXPLOSIF knob boots at an extreme — diagnosed, not silently retuned (#111) · 91b8b958
`# width (range 0.2 0.8 "^33") -- /!\ FIXME EXPLOSIF /!\` in gimme_acid's acid synth. PLN has had a hazard marker on that line for a while. The cause is mechanical and checkable without any audio: ^33 is an A/B knob, so BootTidal's #55 seed gives it 0. The seed policy states its own convention — "range <neutral> <extreme>, so 0 == neutral for effect knobs" — but 0.2 is NOT neutral for `width`: the preset reference PLN pasted two lines above the call says nominal is width = 0.51. So the line boots the synth at an extreme and the knob sweeps it THROUGH nominal rather than away from it, which is a good candidate for whatever "explosif" means to his ears. This is the exact shape BootTidal.hs already documents as an authoring bug, using piment_bresilien's `legato (range 0.05 2 "^52")` as its worked example, and its stated remedy is to fix the range in the TRACK rather than special-case the seed. Deliberately NOT applied. The candidate is `range 0.51 0.8 "^33"` — boots at nominal, knob only adds — but it costs the 0.2-0.51 downward half of his sweep, and that is a decision about how the track sounds. The analysis goes in the file next to his marker so the next reader inherits the diagnosis instead of re-deriving it; the sound stays his. Did remove one unambiguous thing: `# filterRange (range 0 8 "^53")` appeared TWICE in consecutive lines, same value, so the second was a no-op paste. MORNING.md rewritten for today. Leads with the finding that actually matters at J-7: check-mix.py reports Tidal 06/10/12 at -inf dB in the SAVED Ardour session, and cross-referencing those against the orbits each setlist track declares shows **9 of 13 tracks would lose at least one orbit on a relaunch** (#62). The live faders are probably fine — PLN has been playing — which is precisely the bug: the fix is not persisted, so it dies with the process. Ctrl+S is the whole remedy, and it is his hands, not mine: the D row is MIDI-learned to CC 77-84 and writing from outside desyncs it from the physical desk. Also flagged in MORNING.md rather than guessed: yesterday's file said "OPAL Day-5" and today's framing was "J-7". There is no OPAL 2026 entry in Web/www/content/lives/2026/, which CLAUDE.md names as the canonical source for gig metadata, so the countdown is unresolvable from here and is asked rather than invented.
