Install from within the PyScape directory with
pip install --user .
or
sudo pip install .
Run as:
pyscape [filename.pyscape]
Optionally, you need the Python Imaging Library installed for background images to be displayed. In Ubuntu, this can be accomplished by
sudo apt-get install python-imaging python-imaging-tk
For Arch Linux, a PKGBUILD is available.
Other notes:
-
Defaults to the included FM3 Buddha Machine loops, but you can change that either from the GUI (click "Load sounds" and select a directory with WAV files) or in the source ("wpath").
-
WAV files should ideally be mono. (You can convert stereo files with stereo2mono.sh, which uses sox.)
-
Stereo files will also play in PyScape but will not be affected by panning.
-
This program is somewhat inspired by Interactive Soundscape Designer (http://www.interactivesoundscapes.org/software.html) and Boodler (http://boodler.org/).
PyScape requires the OpenAL and FreeALUT libraries.
