Derivative TouchDesigner

Derivative’s TouchDesigner is a new programming tool, at least for me. It’s a graphical programming language for art, video game prototyping, 3d animation, audio and more. It’s also got support for OSC, XML and html, and that’s a good thing! There are two versions, one free and one you have to pay for. Here’s a [...]

Still only for Windows, but that’s fine with me. Haven’t had a chance to try it out though.. The official Csound site Checkout this cool music [...]

Chuck lydprogrammeringsspråk

I denne YouTube-videoen presenteres lydprogrammeringsspråket Chuck av Ge Wang, en av utviklerne bak programmet. Chuck gjør mye av det samme som Csound, Max/MSP, Nyquist, Super Collider og Pd, men språket er relativt ferskt og har klare fordeler i forhold til mange av de andre. Chuck-programmer skrives med tekstlinjer slik man ville skrive et program i [...]
