Grainfield

Simplified version of the collective experiment created at the MusicTechFest in Berlin during the Hack The Audience workshop (cf. 201605-musictechfest-grain-field)

Current project:

• add waveform to client
• add output for stereo or multichannel soundsystem in addition to mobiles

To install the application (requires node.js and optionally git):

• check out the repository using git or download and unzip the code
• open a shell/terminal and change the current directory to the downloaded (unzipped) project directory
• run npm install

To run the application:

• execute npm run watch in the project directory in an open shell/terminal
• start the controller client, open the URL :/controller in your browser (by default http://localhost:8000/controller)
• start the recorder client, open the URL :/recorder in your browser (by default http://localhost:8000/controller)
• start player clients, open the URL : in your browser (the port used by default is 8000)

In the simplest case the recorder client should run on the same computer as the Node.js server, to avoid the necessity of using a certificate.

The application is based on the Soundworks framework.

Manual update of soundworks

Due to the latest changes, the soundworks framework needs a manual update. To perform this, switch to the soundworks folder with cd node_modules/soundworks and run npm install && npm run transpile - now you're ready to go.
