ahh yes Barry - good one.

I downloaded it but not used it yet - do tell of your experience with it.

Well as I said, it's absolutely fantastic. Really quick and easy to use (it helps if you know how to program in an OO paradigm). I haven't used it for anything much recently, but a few months ago I played with it quite extensively, and put some of my experiments up on my website: http://www.barryvan.com.au/category/programming/processing/.

Quote from: "bvanoudtshoorn"Well, I had a play with 'Generative Music' using a piece of software called Processing -- it's completely free and open source, and really easy to work with. (Essentially, it's a simplified Java environment that's optimised for aesthetic uses.)

Processing is nice. I haven't used it, but my sister does a lot of weird stuff with it.

Very interesting. I might look into this in order to gain some new inspiration and ideas and quite possible to sample it for OMPT.
