It's a cool little program, but when it said Theramin I expected it to be able to bend notes. Perhaps a different title. Once again, love what you're doing in general and I look forward to getting paid so I can support your work.

Totally valid.  The way I programmed it was based on sample rate adjusting pitch, and the only way for Gamemaker Studio 2 (the engine I use) to do that is to "reset" the sound, so it sounds choppy, which is definitely not what I wanted either.  The alternative would be to manipulate the "pitch" of the audio directly, which I've done in other experiments, and tbh I could do here, but would have to rewrite it. In truth, this started out as a chiptune tracker of sorts, but ended up here.  So that's why I started the code the way I did.  All that to say, I may just rewrite this to actually bend the pitch instead of adjusting the sample rate, one day.  Thanks for the input!

that makes sense, and I'm impressed with everything you had to go through to get it here.
