Egrégore is originally an audiovisual performance realized in 2011 that exploits group movement phenomenas. Complex and expressive behaviors are generated and controlled by a computer and transcribed in sound and image. A crowd of particles deploys itself, reorganizes, blends into living structures more or less coherent, evolving from a chaotic movement towards a cohesive group.

OMG, this is fantastic! Just downloaded and installed on my computer, it's really really cool

Great work. Have you already tried to use this with MIDI instruments?

@EEight Yup......!!!!!!! It's Cyrille Henry.......... again!!!!!
He is responsible for quite a lot of Pd extended, and you all ignore the extra/pmpd directory at your peril (even you vanilla-heads)....!
The world of fluid dynamics is beckoning you?
He made /pd/extra/pmpd/examples/38_elastique_membrane_on_a_sphere.pd
.....woof! It is already on your computer if you installed "extended".
David.

Stunning and inspiring, this is not going to get the house projects done!

@LucienR Not my project (I wish it was). But I do remember trying to add midi to it with some success.

Cheers~

Hello everyone,
I'm very impressed by this great instrument and wish to use it in a theatre play for a part of its visuals.
I would like to save the midi learns I've made in a session to recall them when I open a new one.
I'm very weak in all these codes, objects and nodal software but by any chance, is there an easy way to do so ?

Thanx for your help,
Emeric.
