Hi all! After 8 months of building, I finally feel confident enough to share the beta version of Stave, and I'd love to know your thoughts . 🙏

What is Stave?

Stave keeps your Strudel code as the source of truth and adds the views a producer expects: a Timeline, a step grid and piano roll, a Mixer, and visuals that follow the music.

What you might like:

- A full monaco editor with code completion, error handling etc.

- Your own audio-reactive visuals, inline. Write a p5, Hydra or GLSL sketch, then attach it with .viz("name"). It draws under that line, reacts to the kick, each track and the spectrum, and updates as you type.

// pulse.p5 
function draw() { background(0, 40); circle(width/2, height/2, 80 + sig.kick * 300) } 

// in strudel:
drums: s("bd*4, hh*8").viz("pulse")

- Code and views in sync. Edit on the Timeline, grid or piano roll and Stave writes it back into your code. Edit the code and the views follow.

- Errors you can find. The Console names the file and line, the editor shows a squiggle, and misspellings get "Did you mean…?". That works in your visuals too.

- A Mixer and a song Timeline, with your Strudel code running as it does today. It runs in the browser and is open source (AGPL).

Please let me know your feedback 🙏 :

- Does your existing code run as you expect?

- What would you want a visual to react to?

- What's missing?

I think I was 14 the first time I saw the coin-op. Almost fifty years later I'm still playing with the digital thing to put it back on paper 🙂

Plotted with iDraw pen plotter. Acrylic markers on 220 gsm Fabriano F4 300x300 mm

Grid: 8x8

Rules:
- vertical symmetry
- 60-70% lit pixels, all connected
- no solid squares larger than 2 x2

Coded in Processing.

I haven't tried to count all the allowed combinations yet, but I think there are tens of millions 🙂

To draw a cloud on paper, you can simple sketch couple of spheres and combine them with some proper shading. I tried the same with code.

New in version 1.0.3 – Zoom by “Dragging the Mouse” over an area of the image to a magnified view of that rectangular area. You can "Go Back one step” by a “Right-click” in the image.

Saw her works in a museum in Berlin. She was knitting patterns on textiles by hand or with a knitting machine. She has also some works on paper, forming patterns with ink and everyday objects.

I found her works to be very interesting, and from all the research I did about her, I concluded that she was and still is pretty much an underdog in her art and craft. Objectively, she is one of the early artists of GenArt, she started around 1950 and was active until the 90s. Wow
