GitHub - danner/heatwave: This is the control code for my Ruben's tubes. Uses an SMC Mixer via midi to control up to 8 tones.

Description

HeatWave is a MIDI controller application that allows you to generate and control 8 audio frequencies and volumes using MIDI messages. You can record settings and then travel through past saved settings via the channel log.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>

2. Create a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv myenv
   source myenv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `myenv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Ensure your MIDI device is connected and recognized by the system.

2. Run the main application:

3. The application will start and continuously read MIDI input. Use your MIDI controller to send messages and control the audio.

4. Access the web interface for additional controls and visualization:

   • Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:6134 (or the configured port)
   • The web interface provides real-time visualization of audio frequencies
   • Use the web controls to adjust settings and monitor the system remotely
   • Frequency and volume changes will be reflected in both the MIDI controller lights and web visualization

5. Press Ctrl+C to stop the application.

6. The state of the channels will be logged in channel_log.jsonl.

This is unlikely to apply to anyone, but hey, if you've got ideas for adding a compressor or making a different control system, I'm totally interested. My goal is to be able to control fire as pixels via fourier transforms.
