Yeah and Reaktor and Max. I like SC because it's primarily
coding based, no virtual cables and little boxes and wrist
strain. Would like to get away from that dataflow paradigm
tbh

i learned about the organelle recently which you can load
pure data patches into like a nord modular

Yes the Organelle, that's a cute little thing! The really
nice thing about Pure Data is the license, you can embed
that shit anywhere, unlike SC which is GPL. Would be nice if
McCartney reissued the code under a BSD style license.

i would love to try processing.org if it were not based
around java, which is a programming language designed to
give you carpal tunnel (via forcing you to write a hermin
melville novel before getting anything done)

Welcome to Mermaidman's Island Academy of Coding. Please lie
down and place your feet in the stirrups. Or, click on the
link in the first post.

This is why they created Processing, it wraps all that
ugliness, no Java carpal tunnel bureaucracy. You can open
one of the example sketches and modify it in seconds and
just run the damn thing with a play button.

Shiffman's The Nature of Code about simulating physical
systems and neural networks and stuff in processing is one
of the best programming books I've read. Well, partly read.

Every book I read about coding (except the pattern on the
stone and Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and
Software) were absolute garbage. I guess the smart people
write code instead of books, but it was pretty surprising
that the arguably most intellectual pursuit has such shitty
Hello World just pathetic useless non profound non
insightful drivel, probably because there's no free market
so who would even bother making a book? You know the
population is dumbed down, even if your book is higher
quality they won't know, you'll have to compete in a rigged
market against the crapflood, there's plenty of parties with
motive to keep the population dumbed down so they can
continue to monopolize code related fields like video games
so have incentive to crapflood crap books and profit from
them in a rigged market as a bonus. Even the programming
languages themselves are crap, sabotaged so real normal
people can do minimal impact. "open source" is rigged and
fake, when you dig deep enough you find things like file
specs like what the bits represent in video file formats etc
are locked/hidden/proprietary, even "open source" ones. Code
is as garbage as modern civilization, and modern means worse
due to devolution.

A true free market is going to have winners (you, smart) and
losers (other people, dumb, bad). If you're not a winner
it's because of Conspiracy. Hear more about it in my 145
hour Youtube playlist How To Inherit Rental Property. Please

Go read more antifa propaganda by the "insightful" drag
queen Karl Marx, like Gorilla Beach. He just wanted to
implement communism so he can legally pedocize children
"according to his needs".

I made a little drum synth before but lost the code.
I have the rudiments for midi sequencing, you can do cool
things like randomize the notes and programming midi cc is a
doddle. If you get stuck, there’s a group on facebook
that’s really helpful.

umbro have you seen http://sccode.org, there's probably stuff
there to rebuild your drum machine. Did you have it
integrated with the rest of your rig and if so, how? There's
supposed to be an AU plugin but you have to compile it
yourself, never a good sign.

(if you execute any of the code from sccode make sure to
have your volume all the way down then turn it up slowly, I
have found a screecher or two there)

https://soundcloud.com/umbromaniii/korg-volca-beats-and-b...

this was made about 4 years ago with a korg volca bass and
beats, just the two little machines (sadly i dropped the
keys and broke it) programmed via midi with super collider.
it's really subtle but you can hear changes in the hihat
tunings and stuff, which was randomised in SC via midi cc.
theres a bit of fucking with the onboard delay too via midi
cc.

this was the korg monologue synth ( just 1 synth with sc
mangling it via Midi CC, bit boring on its own to be
honest.)

tutorialthis is my favourite of the tutorials, dumbs
things down and gives examples. im no programmer but i know
my way around a modular. they have examples where you can
use the computer mouse with a sine wave oscillator like a
theremin.

Isn't Nick Collins the guy who wrote a breakbeat generator
for SC a few years back? Will check these out next. I prefer
written tutorials anyways.

no idea

the examples are really useful

if you make anything cool be sure to share it and ill do the
same

with little encouragement ill have that drum synth remade
by the end of the week

what id love to do is something like 2 or 4op fm and have it
automated and randomised

>>> Isn't Nick Collins the guy who wrote a breakbeat

yes he is, but unfortunately (character assasination ahoy)
he has done very little since then but copy Xenakis and be a
general cunt who edits books and is a smug academic.. wheee!
Not to be confused with Nick Collins of homemade music book
fame.
If i could work out how to post screenshots i'll post a
screenshot of my SC synth thing that i made

i can't compare it to msp but it is the most bangingest of
software for fucking around with audio that I can think of.

The only thing MSP has over it is ~gen, AFAIC, and i'll
happily trade that off to be able to do the stuff that SC
can do
(plus FAUST can kinda mitigate that in the same way that
~gen is a separate langauge)
livecoding is a bag of wank!

Can't you just write SC plugins in C? I think that'd be
easier than Gen because most of the example code for DSP
exists in C or C-ish pseudocode. I've done some building in
Reaktor Core which is a lot like Gen (except you can't
export the code), and it is very good in some ways and very
limiting in others.

added some square wave oscillators to the hi hat sound
the pad turns off on and on randomly by [0,0.6].choose the
amp

still sounds shit but im getting there!

gonna work out how to do fm tomorrow

then ill arrange and mixdown a track

LAZY_TITLE
that is the polysynth bit of my thing, 250+ modules, i've
made 1000s of patches for it
my track sequencer uses the same patcher UI for routing, but
it's hierarchical.... as does a CDP frontend thing that i
really should have a further go on cos it was looking
interesting
