I thought you guys might be interested in this. I put together a little demo of a circular sequencer that is controlled through a web browser. I use Chuck for some (most) of the back end. Here's a link to the blog post which includes video and code: http://www.pillowsopher.com/blog/?p=107 andy

Hey, looks cool, and I'm going to try to adapt it for SuperCollider after I get the ChucK version working. Anyway, I don't know a ton about Processing and nothing about Python, so bear with me-- I keep getting an OutOfMemoryError in Processing, and this is with the memory for Processing ramped up to 512 MB on a MacBook Pro. Also, the Python server seems to just hang after I type in that line from your readme file. Is it working? How can I test it? I already have the OS X Apache server running from my Sites folder, so do I still just go to http://mycomputername.local/cscontroller.html? Also, your readme says "cscontroller.html" but the actual file is called "cscontrol.html" Is this wrong or are you somehow dynamically creating a framed thing? Anyway, it's some really great functionality, and a definite base structure to start building synths and collaborative music/artwork (using Jitter or Processing) upon. I like the idea of having a client application built as a Max/MSP/Jitter standalone that allows someone to listen, while still retaining the ease of a Java app for the masses. Good luck becoming internet-famous. Andrew On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 12:10 AM, Andrew Turley wrote:

The processing issue . . . I'm not sure what's going on there. Just as a quick check, did you install the oscP5 library and make sure it was working? I'll give it a try on a few other computers and see what happens. When you start the server it will just sit there. It should be writing a log file called /tmp/polosc.out. Yeah, I guess I should have given a little more feedback there. Ug, I shouldn't put together documentation late at night. I spotted some problems in the README.txt 1. Yup, it should be cscontrol.html, not cscontroller.html. 2. The instructions I give on starting the HTTP-OSC bridge have it listening on port 8000, but in the step about going to the URL I forget to mention that. So if you run on port 8000 you shouldn't have to worry about your existing apache installation. Just start it up with this command: python polosc/polosc.py 8000 cs2.map cs.not The point your browser to this URL: http://HOSTNAME:8000/cscontrol.html I've updated README.txt. The link at the bottom of the blog post now points to the corrected version. Thanks for taking a look, and thanks for the feedback. Sorry about the problems. andy On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 6:35 AM, Andrew C. Smith wrote:
