pwgl-users: new to PWGL, need some guidance...

[apalomba]

Hey you guys,

I am new to PWGL, I have to say I was blown away by the
interface. I was using common music, but it only has a text interface.
The graphical programming aspect of PWGL is something I
really enjoy.

I do have a few questions I was hoping someone could give me feedback
on. One thing I did like about common music was the support
it had for transforming and mapping data.
http://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/cm/res/doc/cm.html#mapping
Does PWGL have support for anything like that?

I was also wondering does PWGL support OSC? I would be
curious to know how you guys integrate PWGL into your
composition work flow.




Thanks,
Anthony

Hello Anthony,

I am new to PWGL myself, however, as with other programs like Max, and PD~, PWGL can be extended with Lisp.

There are a number of extensions available already for PWGL but as of yet the only thing I can find to control external equipment is Midi.

Hey Brian,

Thanks for the article. I was actually reading it last week
in this months CMJ.  Which is what started this whole thing.
It is good to have a pdf version of it.

Since we are all getting started on this stuff I was thinking
it would be interesting to share ideas and patches.

One of the main reasons I got in to trying to integrate
a LISP tools into my composition environment, was to explore
mapping computational processes onto musical parameters.
To have finer control of designing gestures and form.

I also want something that allows me to stay in the
realm of imagination, where I can easily spatialize forms
and envision relationships.

PWGL seems like it would be a good platform for this.

I would be curious to know what you guys are interested
in getting out of PWGL. Maybe we can combine our forces
and learn faster.
