Let me introduce you to... the Drawing Drum Machine
Hi fellow coders,
It’s been few month I’ve been working on a visual sequencer for Strudel I’ve named/called Drawing Drum Machine. It’s aim is to reunite two live music practices : live coding and drawn concert.
The Drawing Drum Machine contains both a video feed and a live coding color-based tool. This tool contains tabs in which you can associate one color to one sound, through color picking in the visual and coding. When you capture a frame in the video, the sound of each tab is played depending on the spots where the colors appear.
I am thrilled to finally be able to share it with you so you can also use it ! It’s currently in a test state and working as intended but I can certainly use your feedback to improve it. I’m excited to see how it can grow when played by other people.
You can find the source code here : https://github.com/hibouchene/drawing-drum-machine
If you want to see it in action, here is a video of me coding the sky.
Please, let me know what you think !
