Re: Multi-channel Granular Loops

Hi Fabio,

The rules are quite simple really. The boids environment has a series
of simple flocking parameters, such as speed, inertia, central pull,
attraction etc. I have simple made associations between environmental
behaviors and musical behaviors. I created this system as part of my
recent doctoral thesis. I made a pretty comprehensive (boring)
tutorial video.

Watch from around 11m03s to see the mapping strategies in action. Then
from around 13m to see how the pitch information changes the flocking
behavior.
