mastodon 4.5.18A human-readable language focussing on expressing, learning and communicating of live coded algorithmic electronic music. Works in the browser and Max8.
New visualisation features for Mercury are out! scope(), waveform() and spectrum() can be added to any synth/sample instance and they will appear below the line of that instrument.

Mercury finally has its own domain name!
And along with it a few new designs for stickers

I'm in the process of improving the fx(reverb) in the browser version of Mercury. The current webaudio reverb is quite limited and sounds terrible. But the upcoming version will have an implementation of the famous Dattorro reverberator https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~dattorro/EffectDesignPart1.pdf
You can already give it a try in the branch: https://fx-updates.mercury-playground.pages.dev/
Soon will be merged with the main version if there are no more issues.

A live coding workshop with Mercury & Hydra is happening in Strasbourg this coming wednesday! Hosted by Beryann Parker.
More info on: https://livecodingstrasbourg.github.io/
The new fx(reverb) also allows for some better modulation of the roomsize and wet-dry when using lists for the arguments

Mercury seems to be working again on iOS! (tested working in safari, chrome and duckduckgo app)
Maybe not the best device for live coding, but definitely nice for a quick sketch on a random location, or a just for checking the tutorials/examples.
Give it a try!
Below a sketch (with some hydra visuals as well)
Some limitations: no WebMIDI & no recording
The Mercury documentation got a massive update! All things are now in one place and hopefully easier to find and navigate.
It has been a while, but there is new tutorial online about using list functions in Mercury! In this video we look at using list functions for generating rhythms. A few other videos are coming up as well!
