This is new code for the Machine Lab. Created Fall 2025. The placement on the Mac Mini will be updated since the git there is still my personal. This should be updated within the next few days.
here is the documentation. still working on this and is growing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uutdjhiEyeLgWIF5r2Y9500Ud31y423JzLYUDOhCyBg/edit?usp=sharing
Here is examples of the Machine Lab working:

Below is how to write for the Machine Lab:
Going forward, I will be referencing the composer as the client and the computer in the machine lab as server.
Any software that can send OSC can be used Tested software is below (what I use lol) Max Supercollider Ableton To run in Ableton, you will need Max4Live, NOT the OSC send that is already within Ableton. This does not format the message correctly.
Client must connect to the server’s router Currently listed as Skynet:) If this does not show up in network settings (or your using some bizarre linux distro, i know y’all are out there), you can manually join with the following address 192.168.1.1 Host IP address is below: 192.168.0.15 This should not change (in theory), but will be updated if this occurs
As of now there is no password
Client will be sending OSC to server on port 8001 using the following addresses for each instrument
/breakBot
/ganaPati
/tammy
/marimba
/rattleTron
/trimpbeat
Future instruments will follow the same naming convention
The format for the clients messages will be in this format. Address, note, velocity I.E: /breakBot 1 127
This should be all you need, I will be doing more comprehensive testing to ensure this, but as of now this should work.
On Github, I will put templates for how to send the signals for ease of use for client to use
Creative Computing at California Institute of the Arts is a forward-thinking interdisciplinary program that fuses the power of computational engineering skills with the limitless possibilities of artistic expression. This innovative degree encourages students to explore the intersection of technology and creativity, using computational tools to craft work that is both personally and culturally meaningful, while preparing them for industry. Our program is designed to provide an integrative learning experience that equips students with the skills to push the boundaries of art, music, and technology. With a strong foundation in computer science, electrical engineering, signal processing, and emerging technologies including virtual/augmented reality, robotics, and machine learning, students will be empowered to innovate, experiment, and reimagine what technology can do in artistic contexts.
