sigv

sigv is a transmodal live coding and composition instrument and mini-language for live performance, research and experimentation, audiovisual composition and analysis.  The presented prototype is for my PhD dissertation, which focuses on live coding and archimusic. The main objective of sigv was to have a custom tool for live coding three-dimensional visuals and much more.

To use o-sigv (below) it is perhaps required that you get familiar with Orca first.

o-sigv

As a live coder, I primarily use Orca, a popular live coding language by Hundred Rabbits. I have added 8 additional operators to the original Orca operators with the following characters:

` - ANIM
| - MAT
^ - TRANS
_ - AUDIO
º - LIGHTS
… - SYSTEM
∆ - SERIAL
∞ - CHAO
ß - BUFFER

The custom library.js file that I use in the desktop version of Orca is available here: https://github.com/magfoto/sigv-config.

Here is the o-sigv table I created for entering the operators and their values: https://magfoto.dev/o-sigv/table.html.

Hello Monde
To start using o-sigv (Orca + sigv together):

1. Launch sigv.app (this will likely trigger permission prompts, and more will come)
2. Launch Orca (that uses custom library.js above and normally located in the Orca.app/Contents/Resources/app/sources/scripts/core directory of the application).
3. In Orca, launch the commander (CMD+K) and enter the OSC command and address to use: osc:4444.
4. Now you're ready to use the new operators, begin anywhere on the grid with:
   … n 0
5. Next, somewhere else on the grid write:
   ` r 0 0 0

Triggering the Orca code of step 4 loads an sigv primitive called geo. Triggering the step 5 code reveals a wireframe 3D plane.

More info coming soon.
