tr-3012 postmortem
My entry tr-3012 is primarily a musical instrument, a drum machine with five independent looping triggers identified by robots.
This time around I did a lot better at removing code that wasn’t necessary and dropping ideas I wouldn’t have time for. I had all of these digitized robot voices recorded that my five year old loved but which didn’t really make the game any better.
One thing I regret not having time to implement was an introductory zoom from outer space into the playing grid, to make it look like the robots were isolated and adrift in space. That would have helped fit the theme better.
The tools I used:
Processing
Piccolo2D
Piccolo2D library for Processing
Beads library for Processing
Garage Band
Animoog
Audacity
TAL-Dub-2 audio unit plugin
GIMP
I plan to add a few new features to tr-3012 later, to make it more useful as a musical instrument
– allow user-provided samples
– external MIDI sync, or at least set a tempo in BPM internally
– send MIDI and OSC events in place of/in addition to playing samples
tr-3012 submitted!
Fourth’s times the charm!
I dropped enough functionality & design to actually complete and submit an entry.
Looking forward to LD#23
Got real close to completing an entry for LD#22.
OK, not that close. Fourth time’s the charm?
Tools:
Processing
ChucK
LiCK
IanniX
MeeBlip synth
Inkscape
Personal FOSS libraries (Piccolo2D, dishevelled.org, various Processing libraries)
