Tonari Lab
Research, findings, and build logs from Tonari Labs. Currently exploring audio-to-synth-parameter estimation, ML for sound design, and whatever else catches our ear.
What it was like to build an ML audio tool using Claude Code, the mistakes that come from moving fast without understanding deeply, and why we're doing research before code this time.
A walkthrough of the four-layer architecture behind the original Patch Pilot — from input handling to synth parameter output — and the wild December sprint that brought it to life.
Why we shelved the v1, what we learned, and how we're approaching the research reboot for an audio-to-synth-parameter tool.
