I’m trying to get SuperCollider to control animations in Processing 3 through OSC. Whenever a certain frequency is played from a synth, a shape appears in the Processing window, but when the frequency is not being played, the shape does not appear on the screen. The frequency would be controlling the color value of the shapes. For example, if a frequency of 220 is played, the color value will be 255. I’m wondering if I could send the frequencies from my Pbind as floating point number OSC messages to Processing 3 to control the animations? I’d really appreciate any help. I have found a useful example. Here’s code from the example I found, then below that is my code:
SuperCollider:
n = NetAddr("127.0.0.1", 47120); // open 47120 on localhost server
(
SynthDef(\blip, { | freq = 440, amp = 0.85, att = 0.01, rel = 0.06, ffreq = 1000 |
var sig, env, lfo;
sig = SinOsc.ar(freq.asFloat, 0, amp);
env = EnvGen.ar(Env.perc(att, rel), doneAction:2);
lfo = SinOsc.kr(rel * ffreq);
Out.ar(0, Pan2.ar(RHPF.ar(sig*env, ffreq), SinOsc.kr(211*lfo)))
}).play;
)
Synth(\blip);
(
f = fork {
loop {
256 do: { arg i;
n.sendMsg("/sc3p5", i.asFloat); // send OSC message to P5
Synth(\blip, [\freq, 440+i, \ffreq, 1000+i*2]);
((i+1).reciprocal*2).wait;
}
}
};
)
Processing:
import oscP5.*;
import netP5.*;
OscP5 oscP5;
float x; // global variable
void setup() {
size(400, 300);
frameRate(24);
background(0);
smooth();
OscProperties properties = new OscProperties();
properties.setListeningPort(47120); // osc receive port (from sc)
oscP5 = new OscP5(this, properties);
}
void oscEvent(OscMessage msg) {
if (msg.checkAddrPattern("/sc3p5")) {
x = msg.get(0).floatValue(); // receive floats from sc
}
}
void draw() {
background(x, x, 0);
println("POST: ", x);
// draw rect
stroke(256-x/2, 256-x*abs(sin(x)), 256-x/4);
strokeWeight(4);
fill(256-x/2, 256-x, 256-x*abs(sin(x)));
translate(width/2, height/2);
rotate(x%64);
rect(x%64, x%64, x*abs(sin(x))%128, x*abs(sin(x))%128, 6);
}
The code I have:
SuperCollider:
n = NetAddr("127.0.0.1", 47120); // open 47120 on localhost server
(
SynthDef.new(\synth, {
arg freq, kbs;
var env, sig;
env = EnvGen.kr(Env([0,1,0], [0.01, 0.5]), doneAction:2);
sig = Saw.ar(freq, 0.25)*env;
Out.ar(0, sig.dup);
}).add;
)
(
Pbind(
\instrument, \synth,
\freq, Pseq([220.00, 329.63, 523.25, 329.63, 523.25, 329.63, 146.83, 220.00, 349.23, 220.00, 349.23, 220.00, 174.71, 261.63, 440.00, 261.63, 440.00, 261.63].asFloat, inf),
\dur, Pseq([1/8], inf),
\stretch, 1.5,
\out, 0,

)

just put the OSC message you want to send where the … appears.
