What Are Jet Holt's Personal Interests and Background?

Updated

Jet Holt is a programmer and hardware tinkerer who describes himself on jetholt.com as someone who writes code and "travels through time" — the site's own footnote clarifies this means moving forward at one second per second, like everyone else. His stated personal interests are video games, running, and putting absurdly large images on his website. He also dabbles in photo editing and creating SVG graphics, tries to learn languages despite finding it difficult, and once worked as a model for a day. If he could do anything, he says, it would be exploring the solar system; failing that, exploring Earth will do.

What jetholt.com covers

The site is Holt's personal homepage, organized around two main areas: Projects and Blog. The projects section is dominated by his synthesiser module work with Frequency Central, where he programs and co-designs modules using PIC microcontrollers and assembly code — a choice he notes gets him called a troglodyte.

The synth modules documented on the site

Module What it does Status noted on site
Bartos Flur Esoteric sequencer/trigger generator whose step is determined by input voltage level; his first synth module, built at 17 for an A-level Electronics course Development prototype, 2013
Deep Thought All-in-one boolean logic module with all the logic gates plus a section that can act as any gate; inspired by explaining logic gates to a teacher Development prototype, 2016
Polygraf Programmable drum sequencer that grew from an experiment in binary-based sequencing; seven-segment displays and a reworked record mode made it usable In development, 2015
Chronograf Start/stoppable low frequency oscillator designed to control Polygraf and similar modules; notable for its wide variety of waveforms No date listed
Seismograf Drum module (listed in the page headings; details not given in the excerpt) —

Each module entry links to Frequency Central, and the site credits Frequency Central for the videos and some photos.

Background worth knowing

  • Programming style: PIC microcontrollers in assembly, self-deprecatingly framed.
  • Design origin: Bartos Flur came out of school coursework; Deep Thought came out of a classroom joke about building a logic-gate learning tool.
  • Interests outside electronics: video games, running, languages, photo editing, SVG, and space exploration.
  • Tone: the site is written with dry humor — the time-travel line, the "troglodyte" aside, and the Deep Thought name's reference to 7,500,000 years all signal a personal, informal voice rather than a professional portfolio.

Who this is useful for

If you found jetholt.com through a search for the person behind Frequency Central's sequencer modules, the site is the primary source: it lists each module, its purpose, and its development stage. If you're looking for tutorials, pricing, or commercial ordering, the page doesn't provide them — it points to Frequency Central instead. The site is best read as a personal project log and introduction to Holt's interests, not as a product catalog.
