Waves 3 Ways (Topsy's Revenge)
Here's the party version of Waves 3 Ways (Topsy's Revenge). These are Linux 64 bit binaries. To run the demo, place them in the same directory and: $./w3w | padsp ./dsptee Even if you don't have a Tesla coil connected, you will be able to both hear and see the output and have your terminal window or console update with text continuously. With a Tesla coil, you can see the waveform in all three ways. The concept is based on one-line C programs to generate music, the earliest of which were by viznut. nom de nom wrote a C expression in this style to generate a waveform that could be output as sound but also consisted of all printable ASCII characters. To connect a oneTesla coil, codewiz modified the firmware and the control box to allow the audio output to be read by the potentiometer input. He also wrote dsptee to improve the way the text scrolls. The final section is based on the bpNichol poem "Island," part of his Apple IIe collection First Screening. This poem, in turn, refers to a concrete poem by Ian Hamilton Finlay. Topsy is the elephant electrocuted by Thomas Edison in 1903 to help prove that AC electricity (advocated by Tesla) was unsafe. nom de nom & codewiz @Party 2014
