Show Cue System VS Pure Data

Back in the day, our little group ran a lot of shows off Show Cue System. Haven’t used it in several years now, so it may have morphed into something else, but for our uses it was great. Cheap (used to be free), did what we needed, capable of doing video/projections as well, and ran on a Win laptop (which was what we had). Source: over 1 year ago

Tools like Ossia Score, Chataigne and PureData (pd) can also help a ton in building interactive art and triggering other A/V software. Source: 12 months ago

WebPd is a highly modular compiler for audio programming language Pure Data allowing to run .pd patches on web pages. It converts the audio graph and processing objects from a patch into plain human-readable JavaScript or WebAssembly which can then be integrated directly into any web application.

You might also be interested in the very different Pure Data (http://puredata.info/) environment, which is also free and open-source. It uses a visual programming approach, which many people like but if you are already a programmer it might seem inconvenient in comparison. Source: about 1 year ago

Personally I got started with pure data, which is open source and a good place to learn DSP basics. I think there are even a few wrapper libraries for building things into apps (libpd, mobmuplat, to name a few). Source: about 1 year ago
