Documentation on CNMAT spherical speaker arrays.

Network Route:

From CNMAT network or AirBears:

Host: teacup.berkeley.edu (128.32.122.183)
Port: 4000

From an Ethernet cable patched into switch (on MacPro desk)

Host: 10.0.0.1
Port: 4000

* MUST USE OSC BUNDLES *

OSC Schema:

- /system
- /icos
- /gain (db, default 0., min -120., max 12.)
- /dodec
- /gain (db, default 0., min -120., max 12.)

- Random noise / glitches in audio stream
- Did you forget to connect word-sync clock?
- Failure of single face or side
- Check all channels before operating speaker system
- Network configuration goes crazy--multiple builtin-ethernets, etc
- Delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist and restart
- Kernel panic after Software Update

#Overview

- The blog node is a very flexible node type that is useful for quick communication in a particular group or any website user.

#Possible uses of the blog type

- Broadcast messages intended for particular groups or the general public.

- Post videos.

# STEP 0. Prepare

Reserve the main room. Pull the MacPro out of the cubby and plug in the power. Pull out the multi-sphere array, move it by pushing on the sub. Move it VERY SLOWLY.

#Morning Session (10am-12)

TBA

potential topics:
- performance readiness
- patch "neatness" and readability
- pres mode revisited

#LUNCH BREAK (12-1)

#Breakout Groups (1-4)
- RBFI, off the grid rhythm
- vdot making
- java/javascript
- singing voice
- resonance analysis
- Jamoma
- max for live

- suggestions from students: genetic algorithms and cellular automata

These examples
help with both synthesis techniques and
control structures for them.

These patches were either built up in class, or used by instructors during breakout sessions (during which new material was presented). We will be updating this page with new materials as we move through the week.

Here are Ali Momeni's patches from his afternoon lectures.
Please note: You *must* have "alib" installed for these patches to load properly.

You can download alib from this page, which includes installation instructions:
