ahlstromcj / sequencer64

A major reboot of Seq24. Current release 0.97.0 (2021-05-13), native JACK MIDI, Song recording, playlists, and a Windows/Qt version. For fresher code, see the Seq66 project. Note that trigger and mute-group-in-MIDI-file formats have evolved! Back up your work!

[feature request] script language #16

Open F0rth opened 8 years ago

F0rth commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to have a bridge to a script language (lua ? javascript ?) a-la live or bitwig, so users could write plugins to support their hardware interfaces (launchpad, and so on).

ahlstromcj commented 8 years ago

Can you point me to some available documentation that describes such scripting and what people do with it? The last commercial product I used was Cakewalk, oh so many years ago; I wrote a lot of CAL "programs" for it, but they were for manipulating and creating MIDI events, and it was a Lisp-like language. I'm still aiming for a non-GUI mode for Sequencer64, and scripting would fit right in (and enhance its testability). Thanks!

Just thought I'd pop in here to say I'd rather all sequencer64's features be exposed via OSC such that the system could be scripted from any language.

ahlstromcj commented 8 years ago

I think that's a cool idea. I will have to do some learning and wrap my header around OSC. Also, I want to stabilize Sequencer64 in a version 1.0 that is basically a feature-complete fork of seq24, and then branch out from there to a GUI-less version of Sequencer64. Thanks for your interest and feedback!

For the records, an example of a bitwig script to add launchpad mini support https://github.com/bitwig/novation-launchpad/ but OSC look far more appealing.

@ahlstromcj FYI ZynAddSubFX switched to a decoupled interface which uses OSC to control everything in 2.5.x. Maybe you can get some useful info from their code or contact them for any tips.
