Remedial dunce when it comes to innards ov they computer ... though aye🧿 managed to install a CMOS battery and not break anything last night a*pats self on butt
JDK based languages like Java and Scala compile to platform independent bytecode instead of machine code, therefore a JDK environment must be installed to run applications on the desktop. The development advantage is that I have to care very little about the platform specifics. The "full" bundled versions of Mellite take away the need from you to install a JDK yourself, but of course you can still do that and run the "universal" version of Mellite that is not bundled with a JDK. Yes, when a JDK is installed, FScape and Mellite should automatically find the Java runtime environment to run, i.e. some standard components. Other components are included with them. If you open a terminal, you can find the executable which is
java on Mac and Linux, and java.exe on Windows (despite the name, it can run different JDK languages not just Java). Basically the start scripts invoke something like java -cp lib/Mellite.jar:lib/OtherLibrary.jar de.sciss.mellite.Mellite where cp is the class path, i.e. the list of bundled libraries in Java byte code format.

👁M on windows ... oh yewh aye🧿 said fhis
Also im very into transformations fft etc in the apectral domain as well as downright gnarly processing techniques and sofrware to dü soh with... ixi-quarks is right up my alley but sadly i cannot compile it on windows fo® The life of me .... i also virtualized mac os (mojave and catalina) and tried to run the last (classic) soundhack application and it wouldnt run .... sidnt work in sheepshaver either... so yhere is all ov this software that looks absolutely fascinating to me , but i cannot run.... other examples are spectacular by spectacular software, but aye🧿 was able to get they soundmagic suite working in a virtualized comtext .... which is pretty great indeed!!
So
in terms ov fft spectral transformations etc i have CDP, spec ops vst plugin , klingbeil’s spear , sp3ctre, spectrumworx, fscape, and datš about it .... i spend a lot ov time hunting foR audio software foR unusual/ exciting proccessing potential foR aoundbcollage / acousmatic , mind bending scheisse EA stuff ...
Aye🧿 was wondering if yuu have any reccomendations for such things that i can run on windows ??? Things i may have overlooked???
The week that I discovered cecilia was a G🪐🪐D one
i found this thing “ARGO” full ov interesting max externals
and IXIquarks looks wayy up my alley but sadly , incompatible
I have little experience with windows, and I can imagine real-time apps will not be trivial to run through a virtual box. If there is a particular software you're looking for and it runs on Linux, you could of course try to make the system dual-boot into Linux. About Mellite, if you follow one of the first video tutorials, it should be possible to find out if you get to have sound, otherwise I'd need a more detailed description of where you are stuck, or a screenshot.
IVE BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH FSCAPE
I WILL POST THE ERROE HRERE IF THARTFS OK
ERROR
HERE IF THATS
if that's FScape 2 (within Mellite) ok. If that's classic FScape, please in https://gitter.im/Sciss/FScape
Oops aye🧿 guess that is not a question fo® Here either . Sorry ! Cant delete on here
yes, "FScape next" source code is version 2 which is in included in Mellite. FScape 1 and 2 are currently not identical, 2 does not include all modules from 1, because it is implemented in a different DSP language, so for the time being v2 does not "replace" v1. The modules for FScape 2 have to be downloaded as a separate workspace in the Mellite archive.org binaries. Eisenkraut is still a standalone project, although eventually it will also be a part of Mellite.
Mellite 3.8.0 is published, and can be installed via the launcher. It contains a new Spectrum Analyzer (accessible from main window), and support for the
PartConv UGen. Control programs can use the server's sampling rate via AuralSystem().sampleRate. There is a new CLI switch --look-and-feel, which may come handy if there are issues with the default or least recently used scheme.
I enabled https://github.com/Sciss/Mellite/discussions as a more straight forward to use (hopefully) Q&A forum for Mellite.
Mellite 3.9.0 is published, and can be installed via the launcher. It contains a ton of improvements and fixes. Chances are, there will be another round of clean-ups before the Piksel workshop, with the aim of removing head-scratchers and annoying bugs.
Mellite 3.12.1 is published, and can be installed via the launcher. Since 3.9.0, there is improved code editing (show-usage highlight, rename-refactoring), a structural improvement of timeline object splitting, and most importantly, the ability to pass actions and triggers as runner arguments in control and widget programs. Many expression-like objects can now be written as "expression programs" rather than just giving constant values. All of this is explored in a new tutorial video.
Hi @nahush2321 . Mellite is a (programming / composition / performance) environment primarily for sound, as well as some interactive elements, in the spirit of SuperCollider, Max/MSP, etc. With SuperCollider it shares the way you define sound synthesis functions, for example. It can be used more graphically, and more text-based. For example, you can also use it as a rudimentary DAW type of application with its timeline editor. Are you looking for a particular scenario? The best starting point now are the video tutorials.
