Small open‑source audio tools and experiments by tk Audio Services. Things I've built for my own live‑sound and AV work that I'm happy to share.
Each project lives in its own folder with its own README and (where relevant) its own release pipeline. Pick one below.
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| SurroundPanner | A browser control surface for immersive, object‑based mixing in REAPER. Your tracks become objects you drag around a room; a small ReaScript drives a custom tk SurroundPanner JSFX so moves apply live and render to file. DBAP panning, real speaker layouts (directional walls + ceiling zones), per‑object motion effects you can bake to automation, cue snapshots, a stereo/binaural rehearsal fold, depth cue and a radial view. A lightweight open take on the L‑ISA / KLANG workflow — talking to a session you already own. Standard‑library Python bridge, single JSFX, no build step. See its README to get started. |
| Galileo Loader | Reads a WaveCapture / FIR‑Capture biquad export and sends the parametric EQ to a Meyer Sound Galileo as OSC over UDP. A small, cross‑platform replacement for the 2015 MaxMSP TXTtoG616 standalone — one Python file, no install. Bundled UI, network discovery and a Windows .exe via GitHub Actions. |
Smaller standalone utilities live under Tools/ to keep the root tidy — each in its own folder with its own README.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Working Folders | One‑click Finder‑sidebar access to the folders you're working on right now — a small "shelf" of aliases you pin once, instead of fighting Finder tags that Dropbox won't sync. macOS, no installs. |
Pre‑built binaries (currently Windows only) are on the
Releases page —
look for the tag matching the project, e.g. galileo-loader-v0.2.0.
Tools that ship as a single Python script also run directly from source — clone or download the file, then follow that project's README.
Most projects here are deliberately standard library only Python — no
pip install, no virtualenv required. If a project needs extra deps it'll
say so in its README.
These tools talk to real, live audio equipment. They're "as‑is" — read each project's safety notes before pointing them at gear you care about, and test on a spare output first.
