What has been done:

  • Getting signals from the sensors.
  • Working on Skemmi to process the signals and to send OSC messages.
  • Analyzing/creating the sounds in Kyma X.
  • Making the poster.
  • Adding the “offline mode” (AKA MP3 player) for the internet radio stream program.
  • Testing the control interface with Processing.

What will be done tomorrow:

  • Editing the sounds in Kyma X.
  • Test the sensors and choose which parameters to use.
  • Work on Skemmi to interact with Kyma X.
  • Make the control interface.

Problems & questions:

  • Problem with the fluidity of the gyroscope.

Internet Radio Stream as Parameters

Posted on by

Our consultant, AERTS Gregory, has coded for us a little program in Pure Data.

The program catches an internet radio stream, analyses its frequency. For each of the 4 different ranges of frequency, it sends an OSC message, with a value between 0 and 1, to the Kyma that can be linked to a parameter.

UPDATE: We have added the possibility to play a local MP3 file in case of network problem.
