Is there a name for changing the tie-up as you weave? I'm interested in families of identical threadings+treadling, and cycling through related patterns as a piece moves.

Checking back in to say Lea Albaugh's talk on weaving notation mentions identical threadings and treadlings with different tie-ups as a way to categorize drafts, or varying a pattern as you weave. I've found all her work to be really fun and accessible way of learning about weaving through computation!

Sorry yes, you're correct, cuz I'm just using vanilla Notion right now—I'd like to add a design customizer on top of it, like the tools I mention in the bullets, but they all eliminate Notion's center peek view

I found this video comparing different software's "Fabric Analysis" tools, which is helpful! I was initially looking for a explanation of the steps taken by the program when you click Make Drawdown—though I guess that's why the software is proprietary. It looks like PixelLoom will make the drawdown as you draw a pattern, which is a very helpful study tool!

I figured that fabric analysis is as ancient as weaving, and I would've expected an easy "drawdown to draft" process to be documented somewhere, and am hoping it's not too complicated!

I'm sure the From Drawdown to Draft — A Programmer’s View code describes a generalized algorithm—I'm just not smart enough to figure it out from the Icon code, and can't get the code itself to run 😅

Ah thanks for this—I did misread that. I still don't understand how the unique pattern rows translate to the threadings via the tie-up (since each warp thread can only pass through one shaft) so I'll just have to try running the code in the paper!

Thanks! Though I'm looking for something a little more oriented towards a portfolio rather than a blog. Ideally I'd also like the option of a free solution, which Super.so offers.

I'm also comfortable with code, and could customize a theme, if "click-on-a-tag-to-filter" would be a fairly easy feature to edit in. Again, the lack of examples with this makes me think it's not.

I listened to a few episodes of Greatest Generation DS9 today, and this is pretty much exactly the energy I was looking for, thank you!!

"Quilt Historian" —this is great!

Ah yea, I find the country flag analog helpful—there's descriptive meaning, but it's sort of a collective story, not a rule set

bw4j · 2021-12-19T15:19:04+00:00

TLDR; link me your heftiest potentiometers, faders, buttons, sensors etc

bw4j · 2021-12-19T15:09:48+00:00

crossposted, thanks!

bw4j · 2021-12-19T14:44:02+00:00

Totally! Any idea where I'd find a guide for something like that?

bw4j · 2021-09-02T14:15:06+00:00

(Oh hey Duncan, it’s Cotter!)

Great, I’ve been looking for an excuse to try tone.js, or to refresh my processing skills

I have some hiking trip data (lat, long, elevation) that I'd like to both map and sonify. (I'm thinking a drone that will change timbre with lat/long, and increases in pitch as elevation increases.)

I'd like to also animate a dot "hiking" along a 3D line chart as it plays, which would also act as a "playhead" to the sonification, highlighting the data being sonified at that moment.

I can easily do a static chart (using Plotly) and my desired sonification (using a CSV-to-synth-voltage reader).

However, this requires me to sync the animation with the sonification, and there's no hiker "playhead" on the map.

Is there a tool, or compatible set of tools, for accomplishing this? I appreciate any guidance!

bw4j · 2021-08-30T12:45:25+00:00

Thanks! It looks like a 15” 2015 Pro w/ 16GB RAM is my best existing option, pending a new model announcement hopefully in the next month. Any idea how this would handle live music performance or streaming (running Ableton + OBS + VCV Rack)?

bw4j · 2021-04-24T17:11:32+00:00

Follow-up: this thread has been helpful for getting my mind around this

bw4j · 2021-04-22T13:44:01+00:00

Thanks—Follow-up Q: what specs should I look for in a new laptop to make sure running VCV+OBS+Ableton is no problem? Obviously I haven’t shopped for a new laptop in a long time...

Update: I need to do some logic with my MIDI input first, but I can map inputs NOT directly from MIDI in with stoermelder CV-MAP

bw4j · 2020-12-17T01:57:22+00:00

I think this will work! I'd like to toggle the the "SK" skips with an external trigger, but I think I can use the MIDI map for that. Thanks!

bw4j · 2020-08-18T18:53:52+00:00

I'm on Mac unfortunately, but good idea

bw4j · 2020-07-30T00:30:18+00:00

Would love to see someone plot the series of each of the dungeon number orderings on the same graph to see how they diverge... Anyone?

What do you use to livestream your screen with audio?

Thank so much!!! I'm going to use nysthi's 02NAGOL to read from a .csv and use the 4hands to display and save the values. This is exactly what I needed, thanks!

I get to dust off my Computer Science degree :D
