Return to Zero 🌊 🇫🇷 @sciss@octodon.social

It's Saturday because at this point in the week you are extremely saturated.

About this account

I'm a sound and digital artist, interested in installation and intermedia, improvisation and electronic/electroacoustic music. I develop a bunch of open source software.

I keep only one account, so the toots are a mix of sound/art focused things, random thoughts, and few rants (CW'd, and you don't need to share my opinion). I'm friendly/respectful 🍍 + aim to keep an open mind.

Account is locked (allow time to review), because I don't want bots and nazis to follow me. Thx 🌈

there is no space for religious extremism in liberal and democratic societies.

Should I learn Rust to solve the problem of SuperCollider server never materialising with a WebAssembly back-end?

analog bubbles, huh? https://www.sciss.de/temp/soundprocesses.js/

(very inefficiently running through fscape compiled to .js, but well, it's proof of concept)

Great: search engine for #PeerTube: https://sepiasearch.org/

Actually more excited about coupling #FScape to #WebAudio real-time. This seems to work decently without doing yet any performance analysis / optimisation (circulating 3 buffers à 1024 sample frames)

https://www.sciss.de/temp/soundprocesses.js/

val n = WhiteNoise()
val SR = 48000
val modFreq = Seq[GE](0.1, 0.123).map(_ / SR)
val freq = SinOsc(modFreq).linExp(-1, 1, 200, 2000)
val f = LPF(n, freq / SR)
val sig = f * 100
Frames(sig.out(0)).poll(Metro(SR), "metro")
WebAudioOut(sig)

I did an experiment in 2015 in Scala.js for a PD-like web patch. Just looked at the old sources and updated them to work with current versions: https://www.sciss.de/temp/cord/

Just standard WebAudio objects used, though, no script-processor-nodes yet.

that test program just measures the RMS of a piece of lowpass filtered white noise, nothing fancy :)

After some years, returning to Scala.js to see if I can work towards running part of SoundProcesses in browser. After disabling some unsupported API (file I/O), I can already demonstrate the FScape rendering runs in the browser. Nice! Now I need to find a way to add a simple local storage for virtual sound files and their playback.

When you consider your preferred soundfile editor, what is the most important / most defining feature or function for you? What is missing? (answer with reply)

Background: I made a small update of the Eisenkraut soundfile editor - https://archive.org/details/eisenkraut - as I'm editing a lot of recordings, tiny UI improvements such as dialogue focus and keyboard shortcuts help. I hope to integrate the editor with Mellite in the next year.

We now added recordings of the three round table discussions on the symposium: https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/921059/1005650
