What is your favourite Isadora actor?

Javascript.

A lot of my old patches are now a lot more comprehensive and by combining data in json strings i don't have to draw as many lines.

This makes me smile.

my favourites are:

- macro (I started off many years ago with building improvised hardware. getting a Macro to work is similar fun)

- javascript (saves me from wild combinations of calculators, gate, comparators, scaling)

I actually develop my logics and calculations often first with Isadora actors and then clean it all up inside a Javascript. Some things are soo much easier to do with coding than with patching. Not to mention the order of execution in critical cases.

- glsl (I got hooked lately to the math in use here. Many Isadora actors can be reproduced in GLSL, with the option to be customized )

- OSC actors / Syphon-Spout (when all else fails or gets boring, I use SuperCollider or Processing/Java to help out )

I enjoy this kind of thread because it allows to see the many different approaches that can be used to build great stuff with Isadora.

@bonemap

Thank @DusX

He's the one who actually created it, I just put it in an Isadora Patch with some Comment actors

It's great for piping tons of parameters between computers via OSC

Best wishes,
