overtone VS nannou

Overtone is the state of the art if you like Lisp https://github.com/overtone/overtone

https://clojure.org/guides/threading_macros

Incidentally, for making music with Clojure there's Overtone: https://github.com/overtone/overtone

> Midi being an “artist” tool places it more as a medium like paint.

I’ve used MIDI “as paint”.

Written music using code to MIDI(1), and wrote “cross instrument” music, ie using my keyboard as drum machine.

But these days MIDI is chiefly an archival method for me.

Every time I touch my keyboard is recorded, is much smaller than a comparable audio recording, by design “forced fidelity” in the recording, and I am able to pipe the MIDI format through transcription software (which would be near impossible from an audio recording today).

I've never actually used it myself. I've preferred systems that talk to SuperCollider, like overtone, because it's already rock solid and has lots of good DSP built in.

Thanks. I don't know to what extend its "better-because-of-clojure" but I also found overtone https://github.com/overtone/overtone which should be good fun (though the underlying synthesizer is supercollider/C++).

You might want to look at Overtone, which is a clojure environment built on top of overtone, and which integrates with processing and a few other similar things.

Another idea would be to do something with Nannou, it's pretty straightforward to get some visually pleasing results and I find these Processing/P5 inspired creative coding libraries allow for a lot of exploration and expression. The Coding Train is a YouTube channel which has dozens of these kinds of projects, translating them into Rust certainly is good exercise.

Assuming you’re talking about https://nannou.cc they advertise a slack, a matrix, and a github org.

Never used this, no idea If it's what you want, but maybe https://nannou.cc/?

https://nannou.cc/ may be worth checking out.

"creative coding" usually refers to a framework where a developer/artist can code up nice things quickly
