New breather state info

hi devs,

i’m now sending out values from the ‘breather’ i’ve built. it sends this message:

/rt/state/breather/m n, where

m is the intensity of the breath, and n is the volume of air contained. the latter is to communicate whether the last breath was a breath in or out, but it could be later made to be a characteristic of the breath, ie. short breaths yield less volume.

you can control the behaviour via OSC:

/rt/state/breather/weakness n

and /rt/state/breather/adrenaline n

weakness makes the breath less calm and fluid, adrenaline makes breath faster and shorter.

it relies on msp for some of its parameters, so it’s maybe best run on my machine, but it can be moved to others, since all the IO is via OSC. it’s incorporated into my master pro/rt/snd patch as a subpatch, but if anyone wants to extend it i can make it available as a module in the general repository.

again, my machine is 10.0.0.10, and you’ll have to add yourselves to the udpsends in the [network] subpatch on my machine. also a reminder that my mic intensities are always sending out if you want to experiment.
