AV-Live

Audio-visual live performance monorepo for solo or small-ensemble live coding sets.

Three components, one launcher :

Path Role Tech
sound_algo/ Sound engine — 1099 SynthDef palette, tracks, web bridge OSC↔WebSocket SuperCollider 3.13+
oscope-of/ Oscilloscope visualizer driven by audio + Hantek 6022BL USB capture openFrameworks 0.12+
launcher/ macOS menubar app : start/stop each component, unified logs SwiftUI

Quick start (macOS)

# 1. Clone
git clone https://github.com/electron-rare/AV-Live.git
cd AV-Live

# 2. Install dependencies
brew install --cask supercollider
# openFrameworks : download 0.12+ from https://openframeworks.cc/download/

# 3. Build the launcher
cd launcher && xcodebuild -scheme AVLiveLauncher -configuration Release
open build/Release/AVLiveLauncher.app

# 4. Or run components manually
sclang sound_algo/00_load.scd     # boots scsynth + loads palette + serves :8080
cd oscope-of && make && bin/oscope-of   # opens the visualizer

Components

sound_algo/

Live coding SuperCollider system (forked from electron-rare/supercollider-live refonte-v2 branch). Auto-loads 1099 SynthDef across drums/bass/lead/pad/world/master + fx categories. Provides 5-namespace live API (~kk/~mm/~ff/~cc/~p). 23 pre-composed tracks. Web UI on :8080. OSC relay to oscope-of on :57123.

See sound_algo/CLAUDE.md for live coding workflow.

oscope-of/

openFrameworks application. Three visualizers : Lissajous (CRT phosphor), spectrogram (perceptual freq mapping), reactive (8-voice shader). Lock-free SPSC ringbuffer for USB→UI thread. FFT with Hann windowing. Optional Hantek 6022BL hardware input.

See oscope-of/README.md for build details.

launcher/ (macOS only)

SwiftUI menubar app bundle (.app). Manages process tree of sclang/scsynth/oscope-of. Unified log viewer. Clean shutdown on quit.
