I saw this and it looks so cool! I’m particularly interested in the inclusion of Python live coding into the environment. Got really into FoxDot (another Python live pding environment) a couple years ago but always wished it could integrate easier with other things.
I think I see a monome Grid in that trailer too!
I really want to use and love this. Unfortunately after the program crashing on me 4 times within 10 minutes, I’m going to sadly conclude that this isn’t quite ready for primetime. At least for my computer (but it’s a decent Windows laptop I bought a few months ago). Hope you all have better luck than I did, anyway.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m impressed by its feature list (vst support!) as well as its multi-platform availability. Seems like a labour of love! Looks quite accessible based on a quick go with a preset last night (not long enough to comment on stability).
With the program loopMIDI, install and create one loopmidi port
in ORCA set this port to output
in Bespoke use “midicontroller” block to set midi input channel
use the triangle in the top right of the block to bring up midi channel select
The idea of showing signals on the virtual patch cables is clever, but in an admittedly very brief try I didn’t find anything else in the interface intuitive at all.
Also it seems like you can scale the size of the top bar but not the module view, or else the “zoom” setting just doesn’t work. And it’s tiny on my monitor and my eyes just didn’t want to deal with it long enough to puzzle things out.
I also had some trouble with the ui, though i didn’t think it was too bad. Generally neat concept, the sequencers feel great to use. (for software lol)
Someone showed me a grid module built in for all us grid folks. Still haven’t had a chance to play with the program, but fingers crossed there’s an arc module too!
In the sense that it is a visual programming language for audio, I guess so. But I think it’s not too useful to say that every node-based visual language (what about PureData?) for audio is “simpler MAX” - especially when MAX is commercial and proprietary, as well as being limited to proprietary OSes only, meaning none of these systems can truly be based on it.
This looks interesting and fun ! The UI reminds me of my old Sensomusic Usine days somehow.
Total noob question : what are the chances of having it run on a raspberry someday ? I see a linux version but that doesn’t mean anything right ?
Anyway thanks for the info !
