These are research notes from the THIRI lab — measured hardware, negative results, and builds still in progress. Not a catalog. Not a waitlist. Each thread is one finding and a link.

0.592 ms average inside a 1.333 ms deadline on a stock Stomp. First place at the Elk Audio Challenge, MUTEK Forum, August 22–23, 2026. The pedal is not for sale.
Dual-VST wind rig: MIDI for intent and breath CC, line audio for envelope. Full-rig load sits at 1.18–1.29 ms of the same 1.333 ms budget.
Text-only control grades 2 of 12 bars against the chart — chance. Audio conditioning via init_audio failed a pre-registered attribution test (r = +0.98 with leftover skeleton).
Thirty levels, eight keys, 67/67 chords verified against the engine. A practice loop built for the stretch where beginners quit — playable on the page.
thiri-mcp can reason the changes today. Writing those changes into a live multiplayer session is the remaining build.
Connected instruments need a harmony layer that is correct every time. The API exists; the product conversation is open.
Plain language compiles to named p-fields. Closed-loop listen-back verifies chord tones. The download is a real .csd.
GitHub for the harnesses. Game THIRI when there is something to send. Email if you are building on the same questions.
