@paul I'm hooked after listening to some of these on loop.

How can I get your stack running? It seems like the pieces are:

sndkit -> mnolth -> SoundMantra

Am I missing anything?

I can't tell how to get sndkit from pbat.ch/wiki/sndkit. The other pieces I see the 'source' links for on their respective pages.

@paul Anyways I've pirated them all 😇 I think I'm going to try putting one on in loop while I work.

@akkartik thanks for listening!

Yeah, my whole stack is woefully underdocumented.

The whole thing is generated with my mnolth tool, which has stuff like sndkit pre-tangled and bundled into it. You'll need to build and install mnolth with the correct features enabled. mnolth has a built in lua interpreter that you can use to generate the files.

This is nearly correct:
git.sr.ht/~pbatch/mnolth/tree/

I will add more updated build instructions to the SoundMantra repo:

git.sr.ht/~pbatch/SoundMantra

@akkartik oh, huh, the public version of mnolth is outdated and broken. classic.

Not at the right computer for pushing code up right now, but at least I can get some initial documentation happening.

@akkartik New build instructions in the README here:

git.sr.ht/~pbatch/SoundMantra

I have force-pushed an updated mnolth repo on github, which I will fix later (yay fossil git export). Use this instead of the sourcehut URL in the README (the sourcehut mnodes repo should be fine):

github.com/PaulBatchelor/mnolt

If you run into any issues, let me know...
