Sardine is a versatile and user-friendly Python library designed for musical improvisation, algorithmic composition, and more. It turns your standard Python interpreter into a powerful musical instrument, allowing you to create and map melodic and rhythmic patterns to any electronic instrument (MIDI, OSC, and SuperCollider). With Sardine, you can:
-
Unleash your musical creativity on stage or in the studio
- Seamlessly communicate with any MIDI/OSC device and the SuperCollider audio engine using Sardine.
- Utilize bindings for SuperDirt, a widely recognized audio engine embraced by live coders globally.
-
Python code but with time/tempo-awareness
- Employ temporal recursion to make any Python code time and tempo aware.
- Accurately launch synchronous or asynchronous functions with time-specific results.
- Customize your own Senders or Receivers to pattern any kind of data!
-
Develop intricate audiovisual performances with MIDI and OSC I/O
- Assign callbacks to any OSC event, transforming Sardine into a sophisticated reactive toolbox.
- Monitor changing values and incorporate them into your musical patterns or code.
-
Synchronize with other computers and musical instruments
- Synchronise your hardware with MIDI Clocks.
- Synchronize effortlessly with other tools or players using the Link Protocol.
