Ableton Link: it’s gonna be huge! Stay tuned for more announcements soon.

A few people mentioned that they wanted to see the technical stuff that I discarded from the last video. I promise nothing, but here it is, sans-Benny Hill theme music.

I’ve just finished working on Loopy’s audio playback system, which streams the various layers that make up a track from disk. This episode I’m talking about how that works, and how I’m handling quality control.

Beautifying code with Alfred

Here’s an Alfred workflow which will perform some prettifying code alignments in the currently-selected text when a hotkey is pressed. It works on instance and struct members, assignments and hey, maybe other things.

Yay, prettier code!

Here’s a video of it in action:

Building stuff! I’ve been working on track recording and layering lately. This episode I’m talking about the complexities involved in non-destructive layering, and how I’m making sure everything’s rock-solid via unit testing.

Not dead, you guys. Just working on something I’m not quite ready to show you yet. It’ll be worth the wait, though.

Back home again, and working on Loopy Masterpiece’s action infrastructure: this is how Masterpiece’s universal action triggering and sequencing is probably going to function, allowing for a non-destructive workflow and performance automation, among other cool things.

I’ve been doing some work under the hood this week: working on Loopy Masterpiece’s data model and figuring out how sessions are going to be stored on disk. The answer: Core Data.
