Hooray, I hit a bit of a milestone today! I’m pretty sure there are still some memory leaks, and I’ve got some work on the new sampler left to do… however it’s pretty exciting to be testing out some coordinated events with a little astrid script orchestrating the solenoid wiggling and the pulsar bloops this morning.
What I’d like to do in the meantime (while finishing the hardware build and testing the four channel setup, adding motor control, etc…) is keep prototyping some instrument scripts in python, and then port them to C instruments when I’m happy with them.
Hopefully there will be time for it, I’m not really super into live-coding during performance (though it’s a great way to prototype & compose) and would like to map all controls to the arduino’s inputs along with some simple orchestration commands at the astrid prompt…
Porting the instrument to C should let me get a little more fancy in the render callback, and the stream interface only exists in C at the moment, that would be nice to use… we’ll see!
