Thanks Colin...

This thread is the only reason I visit KVR at the moment, as I've not really been finding any direction in music for a while and visiting KVR is a terrible source of GAS - too many 'new' things that are just re-hashes of the existing things.

I'm hopeful that a new playground (with added programmer-friendly goodness) will lift me back where I'd like to be.

In the meantime, I'm getting back into C++ (with OpenGL) which is a brain-mangler for an aged Java programmer like myself, but also a fresh change.

I've been looking at Modulys the last day or so, really just to get me excited about something, but (not)-Epoch is really what I want.

Colin, just letting you know I have a high paid contract until the end of the year. Strike whilst the iron is hot, opportunity waits for no man etc etc

Fear not: I'm furiously striking the iron (or whatever the coding equivalent is) getting the final issues sorted.

I'm completely ready to test on my new 40" 4K monitor - need to ensure plenty of screen estate for the complex !Epochtimations

Well, since this epochal plugin just seems to simmer in it's own juices forever, I went to desperate means, creating midi with 3D modelling tools:

Actually a lot of fun

Cheers,

As if I need more reasons to buy Rhino.... Grasshopper is just simply awesome. [adds Rhino back to purchase list]

Yeah. I battled with myself for months, since I am not too hot about some of the ways of Rhino itself, but I fell deeply in love with Grasshopper. It's about the first time I find procedural modelling actual fun and well implemented, and the tons of (often free) plugins for it make it do about everything you can think of.
Now that I got it, I actually find Rhino much better than expected too, especially in combination with Thea Render.

Cheers,

Tom

nice stuff - particularly for the sonification possibilities translating out to a printer. Whilst the Epoch thing has been going on I've continued writing Midi in Matlab and investigated music21. (python) http://web.mit.edu/music21/ which is overkill and a bit clumsy for what i'm interested in

As September is shortly going to roll in, any updates regarding a potential beta (or maybe even release) ?

colin@loomer · Post by **colin@loomer** » Wed Aug 26, 2015 1:47 pm

The list of outstanding things is getting shorter every day, but I certainly wouldn't expect it to drop before late September to be honest. I'm in full-on-intense-coding mode though, so who knows what miracles may pour fourth!

Fourth of September release - official !!!

Good to hear you're in the zone - keep at it - we believe in you
