There examples of all these things floating around :)<br> <br> To see an example of an "application" written in Impromptu take a look<br> at Oscillating Rhythms which is written in 100% impromptu scheme<br> code. <a href="http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/oscillatingrhythms.html" target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/oscillatingrhythms.html</a><br> <div class="im"><br> > Can I use those knobs and sliders to control Bidule, as well as<br> > multiple little slide shows?<br> <br> </div>I don't see why not, does Bidule support OSC?<br> <div class="im"><br> > Is Impromptu/Scheme able to handle images that are partly (but not<br> > totally) transparent?<br> <br> </div>Yep, no problem at all.<br> <br> Cheers,<br> Andrew.<br> _______________________________________________<br> Impromptu mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Impromptu@lists.moso.com.au">Impromptu@lists.moso.com.au</a><br> <a href="http://lists.moso.com.au/mailman/listinfo/impromptu" target="_blank">http://lists.moso.com.au/mailman/listinfo/impromptu</a><br> </blockquote></div><br></div> _______________________________________________<br>Impromptu mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Impromptu@lists.moso.com.au">Impromptu@lists.moso.com.au</a><br>http://lists.moso.com.au/mailman/listinfo/impromptu<br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
