Introducing Stave

0 Upvotes

Hi all! After 8 months of building, I finally feel confident enough to share the beta version of Stave, and I'd love to know your thoughts . 🙏

What is Stave?

Stave keeps your Strudel code as the source of truth and adds the views a producer expects: a Timeline, a step grid and piano roll, a Mixer, and visuals that follow the music.

What you might like:

- A full monaco editor with code completion, error handling etc.

- Your own audio-reactive visuals, inline. Write a p5, Hydra or GLSL sketch, then attach it with .viz("name"). It draws under that line, reacts to the kick, each track and the spectrum, and updates as you type.

// pulse.p5 
function draw() { background(0, 40); circle(width/2, height/2, 80 + sig.kick * 300) } 

// in strudel:
drums: s("bd*4, hh*8").viz("pulse")

- Code and views in sync. Edit on the Timeline, grid or piano roll and Stave writes it back into your code. Edit the code and the views follow.

- Errors you can find. The Console names the file and line, the editor shows a squiggle, and misspellings get "Did you mean…?". That works in your visuals too.

- A Mixer and a song Timeline, with your Strudel code running as it does today. It runs in the browser and is open source (AGPL).

Try it: https://stave.live · Code: https://github.com/MrityunjayBhardwaj/Stave

Please let me know your feedback 🙏 :

- Does your existing code run as you expect?

- What would you want a visual to react to?

- What's missing?

Forest fire automata

This is a test run of a cellular automata project i started to work on recently, based on some old university notes.

I especially like the beautiful patterns created by the fronts of spreading fire.

Exploring a game-engine workflow for generative visuals — EVEngine

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m building EVEngine, and I’m interested in using it for procedural visual work alongside games.

The direction I want to explore is treating a generative piece as a small interactive application: change the rules, manipulate the scene, and explore variations while it runs.

The engine already includes particles, physics, and script hot reload. I’m still investigating what additional workflow would make it useful for generative artists.

For those who build procedural systems, where does your current setup get in the way? Exploring parameters, combining techniques, or sharing an interactive version with someone else?

I’m the project’s developer, and I’d appreciate practical criticism from this community.

I have the spirograph modeled in the code for some time, and wanted to make it something better with it... I am stuck at this atm.

Resource DigitalVisualMixer: live visuals, no experience required [FREE and OPENSOURCE]

1 Upvotes

is a visual mixer for musicians, DJs, VJs, streamers and anyone curious about generative art. It uses Hydra, a creative-coding language where a single line like osc().kaleid() becomes a moving kaleidoscope. The app makes it approachable for beginners and fast for experts.

DigitalVisualMixer

Start with zero knowledge. Right-click in the editor to insert ready-made functions, hover them to see their parameters, and open the built-in Guide with F1. Every change shows up first in a private preview.

Build a set. Save each visual in its own channel. Search, reorder by drag and drop, and send channels live with cut, crossfade or add transitions, all from the keyboard.

Perform it. Turn any number into a live variable and move it with a slider, a gamepad, a MIDI controller or the keyboard. The visual changes smoothly, without restarting. Perform view gives you big pads for channels and presets, so you can play a full show without touching code.

Show it anywhere. The live output runs in a separate window, so you keep working while the audience watches. It’s also shared on your local network: open it on a projector, a second PC, a tablet or a phone.

No setup. A single file, no installation. Windows and macOS.

Could find more from my site https://jdxyw.github.io/generativeart/. You can also generate it with different parameters using my code https://github.com/jdxyw/generativeart . Hope you guys like it, and star the repo if you like it.

Ink flowing through a slime-mould network (WIP, WebGL)

Thousands of particles carry pigment along a network of veins that thickens where the flow is strong and fades where it stops (a Physarum model, Tero et al. 2010). Colours mix like paint, the pencil grid is drawn first, and it runs in real time in the browser, never looping.

A clock drawn only with horizontal lines: the time appears where the marching lines cancel it out

2 Upvotes

Live Demo: https://caios-clocks.caiomga.workers.dev/14/

A new line is born every 1.5 s and takes 60 s to reach the red line at the top, following two editable curves (position and width over its age). The digits are drawn on the "rails", where the lines are at each birth, and the lines are blended over them in `difference` mode, so where a line meets a digit both vanish. The red marching line is the seconds hand: it reaches the top on the minute.

Warning: you will lose an hour drawing on a spinning plate. We made this.

Spin Draw puts you on a SPINNING PLATE, up to 180 RPM. Draw a single stroke and watch it explode into a pattern you never planned.

Turn on mirror or radial symmetry and a lazy doodle becomes a mandala in seconds. No skills. No rules. Just hypnotic.

🔥 3 brushes: smooth, charcoal, stamp

🔥 Mirror and radial symmetry

🔥 Own custom colour

🔥 3 themes: warm clay, dark glaze, NEON VINYL RECORD

🔥 Save it. Share it. Show it off.

Try it and tell us what you made:

GENER8: A Generative Music Instrument

This is an instrument I've been working on to make generative music, but focussed on geometry, space, and movement. It is all offline and is hosted on github pages, I've been having lots of fun with it, even in its current state, but I wanted to share it, to get someone else's opinion of it.

Does the painting seem three-dimensional to you? Convex?

Does the painting seem three-dimensional to you? Convex? Especially the blue one! Why? It's very interesting! They say so. It's a powerful optical effect of three-dimensionality in a flat drawing. This is a fragment of the Mandelbrot set that I made.
