Bootstrap
Bootstrap was cut on a raw prototype -- all Kotlin, all the time. The synth ran on JSyn for desktop audio, had 8 oscillators, a Rings-inspired resonator, an 808-style drum machine, and a brand-new AI agent that could barely hold a tune. CPU was slow, the architecture was monolithic, and every recording session doubled as a stress test. By the end of this album the Ports DSL, plugin system, and multi-model AI support had all taken shape.
