Day 185: Separate workspace, sway, bespoke and glslViewer
Bespoke synth is bespoke. That is, it breaks apart all that you got used to from traditional DAWs. I’ve had my deal of ScreamTracker, ImpulseTracker, Reaktor, Reason, Cubase, Ardour, PureData, CSound, SuperCollider, Overtone, LMMS, Tidal, and Strudel, succeeding in something, failing at other.
But this feels something completely different. It seems to allows me to build up my own DAW way of work from the ground up. This sounds truly liberating, even after doing something as simple as tapping synced looped volume envelope over a simple melody, I’ve felt that everything is possible.
In my previous attempts I’d go for SuperCollider or PureData or Strudel and just stuck with gory low-level details or cumbersome struggling with text.
The key ingredient that seems to have been missing is very neat, opinionated visual style that is baked into bespoke. Mr. Ryan Challinor, the brightest mind behind bespoke, done so much aspects just the right way.
After the first session I’ve got some feeling of what I want to make here and why exactly I need all these detailed parts.
I almost feel my private orchestra emerging.
