This repo is where the code to Magenta Studio is maintained. For
information, support and installation instructions of the tools
themselves go to this website
This is not a Google product.
Overview and Organization
The Magenta Studio plugins are Electron apps. Electron has the
advantage of being a cross platform solution that works well with magenta.js. The code for each of the plugins is located in a folder with the same name.
All of the plugins share common UI and communication components which
can be found in the 'components' folder. These objects are built using Polymer's LitElement.
The Ableton integration is achieved through Max4Live.
The object and related javascript files can be found in the folder
called 'magenta4live.amxd'. The Max component and the Electron apps
communication over a local server running on port 3333.
Installation
If you have node.js and npm installed on your computer, all of the dependencies can be installed by running
npm install
Building
The modules come as both standalone apps and Ableton integrated. To
build all versions (Linux standalone and Mac, Windows in standalone and
Max For Live formats) run:
npm run build
All of the build files will be put into the 'dist' folder.
You can also build a specific target by passing it as an argument:
npm run build macos-standalone
The current options are:
windows-ableton
windows-standalone
linux-standalone
macos-ableton
macos-standalone
Note: if you want to build Windows versions from Mac, you need to have Wine installed.
