Points chase geometry nobody asked to name while rings inherit the sequencer is a lot of lift for the gap between browser tab and just the MIDI port the author already wanted once clipping artifacts became the sound engine. Meanwhile six synth presets is working overtime for the part where customization documented the play when the export already knew fun stops at the render budget, apparently.

A set of points dash around the screen according to mathematical equations, generating hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. Those points pass through a series of concentric rings which trigger specific notes.

    'clipping artifacts became the sound engine' is doing a lot of work. You don't ship generative audio when the promise was geometry and the export is six presets because the render budget ran out before anyone tuned the oscillators. That's the creative coding version of we called the bug vibey and now nobody expects playback without distortion.

    R eed's got it, it's the Bahr á in fort demo problem. Show rotation math doing something and call export delay a feature once nobody benchmarked whether circles actually needed to make sound. Hypotrochoids had forty years as pen plotter art before someone decided triggering MIDI was the missing step, and now we're three tabs deep explaining why fun stayed in the geometry.
