A livecode environment in atom based on hydra and p5 that produces visuals with letters and words from midi input.

Run

1. Connect midi device
2. Start atom

• install atom-hydra

3. Toggle hydra

• packages > atom-hydra > toggle

4. Open files in src/ in order, select all code and press shift-enter to execute.
5. Livecode and play midi

• edit hydra in *_hydra.js
• edit constants in *_config.js.
• play midi notes

Todo

• Produce mock midi input via keyboard
• Sample sound for midi input
• Record a demo video.
• When one note/letter is removed from a displayed word, consider not changing the remainder into a new word.
  • This will probably require keeping track of the list of words displayed and having rules around when a complete/partial word can be replaced by a new one.
• Register words with specific combinations of notes.
  • For example if c-maj will always show "FOX" according to either a predifined config or the random word it was assigned the first time it played.
