Happy July! Summer has some of us thinking of ocean waves, but there are waves all around us regardless of location or season: sound waves, the wavelengths of color, greetings to friends from across the street…we can go on and on, but we’d rather dive into this month’s code jam instead: waves. That’s the prompt. Splish splash!
Head to glitch.com/jams right now to learn more about what jams are, how to submit your projects, and see what the community made for past jams. And a huge shout out goes to all of you who added some color to Glitch during last month’s #rainbows jam!
We can’t wait to see the waves of projects that get submitted this month!
While experimenting with wave forms, I made this neat little app called “wvfrm” that lets you create sine, square, triangle, noise, pulse, and sawtooth waves, experiment with their frequency & visualize them. I think it’s pretty cool!
My entry for the month is Punchy, a weird idea I had while playing around with my EP-133. I blogged about it a bit on my Cohost page.
There’s still a lot more I want to add to this project, but I used the Jam as an excuse to fix up a couple annoying bugs that made it hard to use with a number of different key/scale combinations. And I tried experimenting with the voicing of the synth using Glitch’s remixes-- in the future I’ll build some controls into the app itself to allow switching between a few different preset patches, but it was fun to just remix and change some variables to get different sounds:
unfortunately, i couldn’t make it in time for this code jam, but if anyone’s still struggling for last-minute inspiration, i am rather disappointed in the lack of projects to do with (waves).
