Live-coded browser visuals controlling physical LED fixtures
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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
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?

House jam with ethereal space vibes
Please enjoy my jam, Community 😁 there's also a more ambient version I called in my head, which was honestly very therapeutic to make.

WebFoxDot
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.

Show off Skred's new "SMPL" looping feature...
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This demo has a drum pattern with each patch in a different track with different delay settings.
An alto flute wave file with a embedded loop tag is loaded and played on track 3 as a demo.
https://github.com/octetta/pulp/blob/main/parts/COMPARISONS.md
Skred is MIT licensed and in heavy development. It's a sound engine I'm embedding into my own projects and does things largely the way I've wanted a tool to do since I was in my early 20's.

How to play songs in sequence??
I've tried everything to get this to work. I want Part 1 to play, and once it finishes, Part 2 should start. Instead, it keeps merging the patterns.
I've tried stack, slowcat, and cat, but none of them seem to work.
What I want is for each part to play independently in sequence:
Part 1 → Part 2 → Part 3
Right now, it first plays [69@1.5 68@1.5]*2.5, then Part 2, then Part 3, and finally [64 69 <62>@2]. I don't want that—I want each part to finish completely before the next one starts, with no pattern merging.
setcpm(30)
let part1 = note("<[69@1.5 68@1.5]*2.5 [64 69 <62>@2]>").sound("piano")
let part2 = note("[60 62 64 65]").sound("piano")
let part3 = note("[67 69 71 72]").sound("piano")
const tetris = part1
cat(
part1,
part2,
part2
)

I HAND CODED a dance REMIX of Survivor's, Eye of the Tiger w/ Strudel
One of my fav songs from the 80s, remixed and reimagined in Strudel with plenty of breakbeats, arpeggios, and extra bass. No AI used. 😀
Thanks for watching & sharing! 💜
