NEW!: Bela hardware support added with ultra low latency

Cloud Instrument

Custom MIDI Controller plus embedded hardware running Supercollider as a synthesizer and effects processor. Using an external USB sound card for high fidelity.

Powered by API.Cultor MIR retrieving OSC service.

Supported hardware:

  • Raspberry Pi 3 (model B)
  • Bela (recommended for ultralow latency)

Physical controller:

Built by Yaeltex custom MIDI controllers.

License

Free Software shared with GPL v3, see LICENSE.

How to perform with it?

See the User Guide for more details.

Configuration

  • Install dependencies (Linux, MacOS, Windows or raspberry pi)

  • Create a config file with Freesound api key (or config another database service)

    For Freesound: APIv2 APPLY (and use this callback https://www.freesound.org/home/app_permissions/permission_granted/) And we get something like: API_KEY = "asga2823235r48qklasdjl3khfasdflk2"

    Then create a file named ".config.json" in the raspicultor/ path: { "sound.synth": "supercollider", "api": "freesound", "Freesound.org": [ { "API_KEY": "" } ] }

  • Run ./CloudInstrument.py

  • If you are going to use SuperCollider run first. Note: sends broadcast OSC message to the network. $ sclang -D apicultor_synth.scd

  • Run OpenStageControl with ui/apicultor-ui.json (osc receiving port 7000)

  • Play with it! Describe sounds with MIR descriptor search them in the Cloud, then use integrated realtime processes with them (granular synth, reverb, delay, LP/HP filters, etc).

Dependencies: INSTALL.md
