Context: FX mode rendered pure white (bloom + grain + feedback saturating), sample rate slider was unwired, and there was no combined scope-style view. Approach: - Tone-map (Reinhard soft-knee) + clamp final color in postfx.frag. - Lower default bloom 0.4 -> 0.15 to match the new tone-map. - Wire sampleRateHz_ slider to HantekDevice::setSampleRate (initial + on change) so the rate actually applies. - WaveformVis: ring buffer (16x window) + timebase ms/div + scrollSpeed (0=freeze, >0=roll) + setSampleRate hook. - New Scope4 mode (key 'q'): waveform / spectrogram / polar / lissajous in 2x2 grid. - Also track previously-ignored shaders (postfx, plasma, tunnel) so other machines pick them up after pull.
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.
