should i investigate strudel, processing, or get work done on lcdt?

[shoofle@beach.city]

the processing i'd like to do is basically "i want to make a whole bunch of sine waves and then see how it sounds when i vary their envelopes and make them decay in relation to each other in different ways" vaguely inspired by bell harmonics and something my partner said...

@shoofle it's kinda funny, i've used a few programming language/environments and I always did audio in R because it seems like the one that respects the basic idea "the purpose of a program is to output a file" and structure everything for that (that is, you can make an array into a wav with like, 1 instruction. same for saving a graph of it to a pdf/png)

@shoofle If you're going to generate sounds, might as well just use strudel. Strudel is awesome.

[shoofle@beach.city]

@boggo strudel is very cool, it's true, but i'm not sure how it is at this kind of thing (generating and modifying waveforms directly), and i'm not doing so much of the "stringing sounds together into a sequence"

@mym @shoofle it mostly depends on how many sine waves and envelopes you want, but experimenting with a fixed number of sine waves and envelopes that morph in relation to one another is absolutely the sort of thing mollytime is designed for. I can't say whether or not it is better or worse for this than strudel or processing as I'm not familiar with the specifics of either.
