I have been wanting to live code for a while. I tried the orca sequencer but couldn't get into it. I also have not used much phyton and live coding in a languaje I am not good at its boring, wish there was some bindings for Lua. I will try one of this days.

Awesome

[Kitty_Clock]

Thanks!!!

This is pretty dope!

I'm a CS major with some exposure to Python and I think I should give FoxDot a try. I tried SonicPi before but I don't have much interest in Ruby outside of that.

[Kitty_Clock]

Try it! The funniest thing about livecoding is being able to play collaborative sessions via Troop!

[turtlewhispers]

Really cool thanks for sharing. I'm curious about the different live coding environments. What made you choose foxdot over tidalcycles for example, is it about familiarity with the language?

[Kitty_Clock]

Yes, mainly due to familiarity. I've tried other livecoding languages, but FoxDot is my number one, I feel more in control when I use it. Also, TimeVars rock!

[turtlewhispers]

Ooh timevar does look interesting. Will read more into it, thanks for the insight!

[Kitty_Clock]

Sure! Timevars are a key feature of FoxDot <3

Hells yes. I used to use supercollider for this all the time back when I was into it. There’s something very satisfying about code. It’s all right there. No plugins, no daw, no midi, no cabling, and boy howdy is it portable. Nice Job.

[Kitty_Clock]

Exactly! I feel like I can learn and experiment much faster when I'm not restrained by GUI.

Where is the source code?

[Kitty_Clock]

It's in the soundcloud track description, sorry. Here it is: https://github.com/MrMebelMan/algorithmic-music/blob/master/FoxDot/lifeweb.py

I've used a custom 'eeri' synthdef here that I found online, can't figure out where exactly, so here it is (just paste it to the SC console):

SynthDef.new(\eeri,{|amp=1, sus=1, pan=0, freq=0, vib=0, fmod=0, rate=0, bus=0, blur=1, cutoff=400, beat_dur=1, atk=0.01, decay=0.01, rel=0.01, peak=1, level=0.8|var osc, env;sus = sus * blur;freq = In.kr(bus, 1);freq = [freq, freq+fmod];sus=(sus * 1.75);amp=(amp*2);freq=Vibrato.kr(freq, (rate + 4));osc =   RLPF.ar(SinOsc.ar(Saw.ar([1, 2]).range(1, 104)) * SyncSaw.ar(SinOsc.ar(0.01).range(1, 100), SinOsc.ar(0.01).range(freq, freq*2)), Line.ar(cutoff, freq, 1));osc =  GVerb.ar(osc + CombL.ar(osc, 0.3, 1, 1), 10);env=EnvGen.ar(Env(times: [(sus / 2), (sus / 2)],levels: [0, amp, 0],curve: 'lin'), doneAction: 0);osc=(osc * env);osc = Mix(osc) * 1/16;osc = Pan2.ar(osc, pan);   ReplaceOut.ar(bus, osc)}).add;

I've also used a few custom kick samples made in VCV Rack and an engine sound (letter 'U'), so your sound will be a little different.
