This is a work-in-progress, to be officially released at the 2019 Piksel Festival
bleep.live
A MIDI-driven Vector Graphics Livecoding Framework
Getting Started
Getting started should be fairly straightforward. The only dependency is on node.js (version 8.0 or higher).
After installing node, you can use npm to download all the necessary dependencies:
npm install
and the system should be ready to use. Bleep.live works best with a MIDI controller, but the easiest way to get started is by running it in the "virtual midi" mode:
node bin/www --virtualmidi
Once the server is up and running, you can access it from your browser of choice at:
http://localhost:5133/
Alternatively, you can run Bleep environment using the built-in Elektron app:
cd elektron
npm install
npm run bleep
Which will simultaneously instantiate both controller and client screens, side-by-side.
Note: you still need to keep the main server process running when using the Elektron app.
