Description:
live noise tools 

A collection of audio applications for the purpose of generating live music. As 
they will all share one communication protocol, I'd like to keep them under one 
project.

noisepattern
The noisepattern sequencer uses text based "scorecode" sequences to describe 
it's musical patterns. Scorecode is designed for algorithmic generation and 
processing.

noiseweapon
The noiseweapon is a cheap and dirty multitimbral, polyphonic synth optimised 
for live performance. It's got patch load/save for each individual voice, and 
for the whole synth setup (in "memories") as well as randomisation for all 
settings.
Already released here: http://www.pawfal.org/Software/noiseweapon/

noiselab
A polyphonic sampler with a sample upload feature, so samples can be created 
externally, or loaded from it's async sample loader.

wigwamjam
Another synth, a clever one that uses genetic programing. There is a prototype 
version of that here: http://www.pawfal.org/Software/wigwamjam/

All applications communicate via the open sound control protocol, and use it as 
a replacement for midi. Abandoning midi may seem a rash step, but using OSC, 
much more information can be shared for much more expressive sequencing.

All applications share code functionality by using the libspiralcore library, 
which is based on the core code from spiralsynthmodular 
http://www.pawfal.org/Software/SSM/.
And can be found here: http://www.pawfal.org/Software/libspiralcore/

The main goal is to keep the base applications as simple as possible, and 
expose enough functionality to allow the complex stuff (gui, text processing 
and whatnot) to exist in osc client scripts. These scripts are typically 
written in python and use tkinter for gui work.
