Mother hits 0.6.1 Milestone -Win/OSX
Mother Reaches 0.6
It’s sure is a sign of an active project where it keeps leaping between each release so quickly, it can be difficult to keep up with it all. As project matures, additional resources and tutorials become available and personally I’ll try to keep readers updated on anything that I cross by.
Massive thanks go as always to Ilias Bergstorm (Lead Developer) and ongoing support involvement from Krzysztof Golinski on the project, developing of Mother has now sped up a bit, hence the increased release frequency!
New Features : Mother 0.6:
- Small mistakes fixed from previous 0.5 release: Waltz synth example was not working, and I failed to mention in the documentation that you also need the Shapetween library to develop new synths. Note: Shapetween is a library for Processing that provides an easy way of animating elements within a sketch in a variety of ways.
- More comprehensive secondary screen support introduced.
- pre(), draw(), post() and dispose() methods are now called properly in synth libraries.
- It is no longer necessary to put an Init() method in sketches intended as Synths for Mother (Finally!).
Download:
As always, you can download the latest version from the Google code repository!
Version 6.0.1 has been added with minor tweaks!

Those artists that enjoy creating content using Processing (especially for live performance) would sure be interested in methods and techniques on dealing with manipulation of such code snippets/visual Synths between one another in live environment. Positively, sound reactive and midi controlled approach would also be of be of benefit.
