ABOUT / CASS / DATAKINK
Cassandra
Corsmeier
I'm Cassandra Corsmeier, usually Cass. I work on audio hardware, write software for studio gear, and produce and mix music as datakink.
I'm currently validating hardware at QSC. I've built over 1,000 PCBAs and repaired equipment from the last 50 years. Analog and digital studio hardware take up a lot of my attention.
This site is where I keep the projects, tools, and things I've been figuring out. Some are about making music. Others are about getting a piece of equipment working, keeping track of a repair, or getting an agent to do the scrolling for me.
At the bench
Alongside my job, I take on independent repair, calibration, electronics, and studio workflow projects. If you have any gear needing repair, let me know.
That work is independent of QSC. We agree on the scope, price, and timing before anything starts.
Projects and music
SOFTWARE / STUDIO HARDWARE
PCM81 Control
An editor for the physical Lexicon PCM81, with bidirectional MIDI SysEx communication. It brings the hardware's controls into a desktop app and plug-ins so you can work with the unit from your computer.
SOFTWARE / STUDIO HARDWARE
Quadra Control
Quadra Control is coming soon for the Quadraverb and Quadraverb Plus.
MUSIC / PRODUCTION / MIXING
datakink
I produce and mix as datakink.
AGENTS / A PROJECT WRITE-UP
24-7-B0T
I wanted the interesting threads without spending so much time on the timeline. So I built a browser agent to read it, follow promising conversations, save the sources, and bring a ranked set of things to read back to my own site.
STUDY / SECURITY
PenTest+ flashcards
My PenTest+ study notes turned into a set of flashcards, with saved progress and a read-aloud mode. They're here for anyone else working through the material.
Leaving a record
I wrote Making Your Way in 2025 after realizing how much of my work and experience I'd never put online. The blog and resources are part of doing something about that: writing down what I tried, what I wanted from it, and what I'm still working out.
