VeeSeeVSTRack VS awesome-livecoding

There is also VeeSeeVSTRack https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack

Since some people don’t like the cathedral development style VCV rack uses, I point people to a fork of an older version of VCV rack with two features VCV rack 2 doesn’t have:

* It can run as a VST plugin, so one can use it with their favorite digital audio workstation (DAW)

* The code is BSD licensed

Here is that VST plugin fork: https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack#downloads

Hete is an old VST port I found. Haven't used it in a while so I don't know if it's stable: https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack

* The VST fork of VCVrack for a modular synth: https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack#downloads

I would get a keyboard controller with full sized keys and a 5-pin DIN MIDI out for just over $200, but that can come later.

Again, I prefer the fork at https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack#downloads because it’s a working VSTi, and because it’s under a BSD (not GPL) license, which has more flexibility in certain circumstances; I remember the arguments around 2001 or 2002 when there were concerns Python’s license was not “GPL compatible”, so I have always found GPL licenses pedantic.

Try vcvrack.com to get a handle on the basic principles.

I set up a drum beat and a pattern on a muted track to control this Eurorack simulator. https://vcvrack.com/

Here's the best way to learn about synthesis. https://vcvrack.com/

Since nobody else has mentioned it, you might want to try VCV Rack. It's a pretty good modular synth in software (bonus, it's free!). You can save and load complete patches, so it scratches that itch to recapture a complex configuration. Lots of good information in its dedicated subreddit.

Live coding is how I learned to program and I am so glad that this type of computer music performance exists. I am currently doing my PhD on the topic! Programming as a performative act, with its own culture and music sub-genres. For those interested in helping / taking a look, I am currently trying to hack my own live coding environment based on Python asyncio mechanisms: https://github.com/Bubobubobubobubo/sardine I am a bit shy about it because I am light years behind the level of the projects that are posted on HN and that keep me inspired. I've taught myself how to do this basically by live coding ... a lot, with friends in France! Learning a bit of CS because of music.

Without commenting on Alda specifically, people should understand that it's just one member of this list of highly overlapping (but also interestingly distinct) tools:
