Creative Computing – Week 3 – “Communication Architecture: OSC & MIDI”

The intimidation of this week’s apparent complexity was short lived once certain group members stepped up. Jake was a major contributor in solving early issues with conversion of input notes to frequency values. I was programming for computer 2 and found that this station needed 2 sets of code in the form of send and receive functions.

As per previous weeks, the solution to most problems was nesting functions. The main difficulty was determining where a function should exist in an unfamiliar piece of code. I recommend separating code into different files the minute it cannot be viewed in its entirety on screen if possible. Giving files descriptive names reduces confusion when scanning through them in the dock.

We have labelled the .rtf-files according to which machine they were being used on in the exercise.
