Hi there,
I'm working on a Max DSP project that takes real time train data and produces audio. For example, each train and its corresponding data could be connected to an oscillator, filter, envelope, effect, trigger a sample etc. I've not yet decided on what the creative output will be and I'm just trying to find a way to get the data in.
At this stage I'm researching what the best approach would be so I would appreciate your thoughts on my current working plan. I've signed up to the Rail Data Marketplace and I'm considering using the Darwin Real Time Train Information. My current plan is to use Kafka with Python or node.js, receive messages, decode base64, parse XML, and send OSC to Max.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Best wishes
Joshua
