BespokeSynth VS livefader

BespokeSynth takes the concept of a modular synthesizer and expands it so that the application is less just a synth and more a complete modular DAW. I've used it to create MIDI/audio workflows that I couldn't get exactly the way I wanted in Ableton or FL Studio. It also has a module for doing audio processing livecoded in Python that I'm just starting to scratch the surface of.

Then I realized bespoke sync is also written in C (https://github.com/BespokeSynth/BespokeSynth) , and I learned about the ninja build system (which is what ysfx uses to compile JSFX).

Today I'm looking at a couple open source projects that are dear to my heart: OpenParliament API and BespokeSynth. If you've followed my work last term for OSD600 you've seen me write about my work on Bespoke already, which is a modular software synth. OpenParliament, on the other hand, is a great site with easy to consume information about Canadian government, the API for which I'm taking a look at today. This is part of my work for SPO600, or Software Portability and Optimization, so expect more on that soon! For now let's dive into these repos and how contributing to them works.

In the final installment of my efforts to bring midi import and export to BespokeSynth (part 1 and part 2 here) I'm working my way through the details of handling midi in Juce, with the added layer of having some Juce functionalities handled by Bespoke.

In last week's post I discussed my plans to implement midi import and export in BespokeSynth, a modular synth making app that's built on JUCE, an open source framework for developing VST plugins. So far I've been chipping away on a few fronts: making a demo app to try implementing midi import and export separately from Bespoke, looking at examples of components from other apps that do what I want to, and looking at how Bespoke already uses some components I'll need to implement it.

For my release 0.4 I'm going to be working on BespokeSynth which is a neat program my prof showed me earlier in the semester.

Nice work on Scheme for Max!

Much less impressive, but I spent a bit of time building a simple M4L device a while back using Typescript, and put some effort into figuring out how to make TS play nice(r) with the M4L API (the JS support in Max is pretty basic).

I never got around to splitting it out into its own reusable module but it might be of interest to anyone interested in playing with scripting Ableton from Max, but not interested in learning Max’s visual programming paradigm: https://github.com/tomduncalf/livefader

Would be interested to know how Ableton’s scriptability compares to some other DAWs… I know Tracktion and Bitwig have some degree of JS support, and Reaper has its own scripting language. Personally I’d love it Ableton made the Python API etc. a bit more official but I can of course understand why they don’t.

Yeah Max’s JS support is pretty weird.

I spent some time figuring out nicer ways to work with it in order to build an Octatrack-style parameter crossfader for M4L, it provides some abstractions and setup to make using Typescript with Max a bit more pleasant. Still plenty of limitations but I was able to get my device working pretty well in the end. Apologies for lack of docs!
