ofxJVisuals

Introduction

<img src="images/preview.png" alt="ofxJVisuals preview" width="400" style="display: block; margin: auto"/>

For now this is still a non-released addon for creating visuals with SuperCollider and openFrameworks.

Workflow

I launch an ofApp similar to _exampleSimple_. This ofApp creates a SuperCollider server in a thread.

In sclang (I'm running SCnvim) I create a remote server, with the UDP-address I've set in src/config.h.

Now I can create a synth that uses my UGens from J_Ugen. This is very undocumented, but some of these UGens have some helpfiles...

These UGens let the server send init-OSC messages ("/create") to OF and create the required objects (JEvent). They also update the state of the UGen via OSC on a framerate set in the UGen src.
