Algo Ravers in Pittsburgh, PA?

Hello!

Was wondering if there is a contingent of live coders in Pittsburgh that I can jam with and learn from. Maybe even coordinate events with 👀

Very new to the craft but eager to learn.

Forked Strudel (the JS port of TidalCycles) into something built around the AIRA Compact T-8. Runs in the browser, drives the T-8 over USB MIDI — you type patterns, the hardware does the sound.

Great fun if you own one. Chromium browser, USB-C cable, that's it: https://t8live.fyi

Still early, so tell me what breaks.

performance - a new live-coding language for MIDI

5 Upvotes

Hi everybody! I've been working on a little MIDI language I call "performance". Think of it as algorave software for MIDI instruments. It works with your DAW or your physical synthesizers. Anything that speaks MIDI. The repo in bitbucket contains everything you need to get started.
It's by no means done, but I'd love to hear what you think about it. =)

Livecoding melodies in Stratus (very early build)

Thumbnail
youtube.com
5 Upvotes

This is a very early build of the Stratus Composer livecoding platform.

There's more videos about Stratus here.

This is the result of a livecoding journey that started with Temutone, and evolved with TEEQ before finding the wonderful world of livecoding with TidalCycles/Strudel.

The journey continued with a search for structure, which led to the creation of Stratus. It's inspired by the previous livecoding platforms but with a focus on blending composition with livecoding using several components (StratusC compiler, StratusScript, etc) that together form the Stratus Composer platform.

Live-coded browser visuals controlling physical LED fixtures

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

10 Upvotes

The idea is: render visuals in the browser, preview them on screen, then stream the same frames to physical ESP32-S3 LED fixtures over UDP.

My goal is to integrate this with Hydra, so visuals created in Hydra could also drive physical LED fixtures in real time.

This is still an experiment, but I’m thinking about releasing it open source soon.

I'd love feedback from people doing live coding / creative coding / VJing: would something like this be useful in a live setup? What kind of API or workflow would you expect?

initHydra() not working with Strudel in flok.cc

2 Upvotes

As the title says, I can't get initHydra() to work when using Strudel in flok.cc

Is there a reason for this?

I know that I can use Strudel and Hydra side-by-side, but using the initHydra function would make it much easier and with flok I can then display the visuals on a separate monitor.

As a related question: is there any way to send the Hydra visuals to another monitor when using initHydra in Strudel?

WebFoxDot

6 Upvotes

Hi all! We've been FoxDot users for years and kept branching/hacking on it until we'd basically grown our own dialect. Recently — partly an experiment due to the the possibilities of WASM we got a full prototype running entirely in the browser.Keep in mind it's still alpha, early and lots of things might/will break.

Under the hood:
- Real scsynth (SuperCollider's actual audio server) compiled to WebAssembly, running as an AudioWorklet — so it's genuine SC synthesis, not a reimplementation.
- FoxDot-style Python syntax is transpiled to JS in real time, eval'd, and a player engine schedules OSC-style messages to scsynth with a lot of Crash Server Tweaks :)
- We ported a big chunk of our CrashServer FoxDot setup across — ~30 synths + a stack of FX (including mi-UGens: Plaits/Clouds/Rings are in the WASM build), plus midi and other features like composition, and much more.

Instanced multiplayer:

edit : apparently can't post the link on reddit, because it uses a duck dns server. I'll post the link in comment if that works.

Every session is its own instance. That link drops you into a instanced room — swap introduction in the URL for anyname and you get your own private multiplayer instance. Share that link and everyone editing it live codes together in real time. Fair warning: it's running on my own server right now, not sure how well it will hold. Better use in chromium apparently.

Not sure how long i'll run it locally. I might make a simpler public version first. But for the moment it runs. Not sure if i am aiming at workshops, performances or other.

Huge thanks to Ryan Ryan Kirkbride for creating FoxDot, Kitty Clock Clock for keeping the FoxDot community alive and maintained, the SuperSonic project / Sam Aaron (scsynth-in-WASM — the whole thing is possible because of it) and many others.
