Interactive Composition (2.1 - 2.3)
loopLauncher
Justin and I wanted to do a loop launcher that had the ability to record vocal loops as well. For the visualization, I made this preLoader for another class and wanted the mixer to have a similar visual style. I wanted a layered visual, similar to turning gears, where each shape was assigned to a set of loops. I used the code for the waveform circle to get the vocal loop represented by the dot circle. I used Chat GPT to get the sibling loops to both trigger the same shape, rather than have a shape for each loop. Justin got the stems and the quantized vocals to work.
Keys 1-3 control one set of loops, while 8-0 control their siblings. The hitting the space bar starts and stops a recording from your computer's microphone.
