Kandiskyscore

Post by stanlea »

Kandiskyscore is a graphical editor for analyzing and creating electroacoustic/acousmatic music.
It is now an Electron application. Electron integrates Chromium and Node.js to allow web developers to create desktop applications. Compatible with macOS, Windows and Linux, Electron applications work on all supported architectures.
Kandiskyscore uses the WebAudio API for sound generation as well as the GRAME Faust language for 3D spatialization plugins for external sequencers. It also allows you to export a graphic score in SVG format that you can possibly modify with vector graphics software like Inkscape or LibreOffice-draw as well as a presentation of the score in PDF for printing.
This program allows you to create sound objects or scores that can be exported in .wav format for audio.
It is also possible to spatialize the sound with the tools provided by the webAudioAPI.
You can manipulate four types of objects: audio (stereo) objects, groups, symbols and text.
Kandiskyscore is not intended to replace traditional sequencers like Reaper or Ardour. It is based on another way of approaching electroacoustic composition through the manipulation of symbolic objects that can be combined to form complex assemblages such as assemblages of formal logic. This tool aims to provide an environment which should enable the composer to be supported during the development of his work. He can always finalize it in the sequencer of his choice.
The ReaScript named importKandiScore.lua and insertKandiScore.lua, available in the <$home>/kandiskyscore/Scripts folder, after installation, allow you to import all Kandiskyscore audio parameters into Reaper. You have the same scripts for Ardour.
You can see a representation of a work by Ligeti, Artikulation which illustrates this point well. This work was done by Rainer Wehinger in the 1970s. You can also watch AAtmosphère which combines a graphical representation of the structure of the work, traditional notations and audio graphics.
Kandiskyscore 1.0.0 change from January 2023
-- Development of Kansdiskyscore on Electron
-- Generation of deliverables for macOS (archive zip), Windows 64 (archive zip et installateur windows), Linux (archive zip , deb, rpm)
-- Fixed many bugs
-- Choice of interface language (D,En,Es,Fr,I). Certainly needs improvement, but the functionality exists.
-- New resources enabled by Node.js extensive file management -- Ability to print the score by generating PDF files. -- Management of trajectories for the spatialization of objects.
-- Integration of an interface for the creation of personal studios for spatialization in sequencers. It allows the generation of a .DSP file for Faust that can be compiled in Grame's Faust Web IDE. You can then use this generated plugin (lv2, vst...) in your sequencer like any plugin to manage the spatialization of your objects.
-- Importing and inserting objects into Ardour or Reaper
-- Complete application configuration and theme management.
