Draft for a reactive web version of John sequencer.
As a Meteor app, John consists of :
- a server requiring some installation (see below);
- a client that will run on any web browser without needing to install anything.
- Install Meteor;
- Clone this repository or download it as zip;
- Unzip it, open a bash and go to root folder;
- Install screenfull package by running
meteor npm install --save @babel/runtime screenfull - Install osc-min package by running
meteor npm install --save osc-min- Try to launch John server by writing (feel free to change port):
meteor --port 4000 - If meteor succeeds to compile (despite a few warning, ahem), you should see something like:
=> Started your app.
=> App running at: http://localhost:4000/- Scream "hell yes!" and open a browser at url http://localhost:4000/ (you should maybe allow your firewall to accept that)
You can then create a random score (with the score maker). You can move events (horizontal drag) and rescale them (vertical drag). You can navigate in the score with the bottom view area in blue.
John is also sending OSC messages over UDP on port 7474. You can find an example Max patch in the Max folder.
For OSC communication, John relies on osc-min by @russellmcc.
