​Generative music using Isadora

[Bootzilla]

@crystalhorizon This video is very useful thanks. 

One question, when I double click on my AUDistortion actor, its just collapses and expands it rather than opening up the second window. Any thoughts why that might happen?

@bootzilla

To get it to pop up, it needs to be connected in the in and outputs

Makey Makey works as a tiny keyboard, so you just need to put some Keyboard Watchers in Izzy.

@crystalhorizon Ahhh that makes sense.

Is there a guide anywhere on the AU actors? I don't really understand them as much

If you are serious about generating music via software, I recommend you check out Chuck, a powerful programming language designed for digital musicians which you can link via midi to other programs like Isadora. I recon it's not so easy to learn at first, but there's plenty of tutorials and it's really great once you understand it.

@dbini Cool! I might have to invest!

@haradan I've just had a look at it... I'm not sure I'm that serious about it yet haha! Maybe one day though...

I was really trying to find out if Isadora had a way of generating its own sound without using sound files/external sources

It’s also worth noting that the Makey Makey works without any drivers or special software on Mac and Windows 

Best wishes,
