strudel VS tune

Interesting!

Similar note-based expression can be found on TidalCycles/Strudel. although it's not valid MIDI format anymore, you can use notation like c4, f3, and make them as "pattern". Samples are also supported in the same manner:

And in my project Glicol, I use only numbers in the seq node. So 60 means middle C. Underscore means rest.

TidalCycles doesn't. And you can try it online without installing anything.

https://strudel.cc/

Try evaluating `d1 $ s "bd sn"` to get a bass drum-snare drum rhythm going. Then `d1 $ s "bd*2 sn"` to kick the bass drum twice each loop instead of once. It can be extremely intuitive.

An easy way to experiment with this is via Strudel[1], a JS port that plays in-browser (annoyingly, works better with Chrome than Safari.)

It's recently gotten a great deal easier to play with thanks to Strudel, a JS variant.

One interesting feature of Tidalcycles is Euclidean Sequences, where various 'natural' ways of distributing X notes over Y durations are easily expressed:

It has a modular design so you can pick together different pieces to build into your project, if you're happy with AGPL: https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/

I use tune-cli (https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/tune-cli) to play microtonal scales on my non-microtonal Fantom-X8. tune-cli can retune almost any synth via MIDI message injection but it needs to be started as a separate program since it is not a VST plugin.

I developed tune-cli (https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/tune-cli) which is also able to convert Scala to MTS. It can even do it in a live-dispatching mode giving you access to more than 12 notes per octave without any underwater / chipmunk effect.

Very excited to see this. It's very much a tool I would use, excited to give it a spin after work tonight. I also look forward to reading the code.

Other cool music tools I've seen implemented in rust:

* glicol - https://glicol.org/

* tune - https://github.com/Woyten/tune

A while back I wanted to make some tools to aid in composition and was using rust. Very partially baked, but a fun pet project to learn the language with. Generated Just Intonation pitch lattices based on my research of Ben Johnston's compositional approach. https://github.com/jcpst/johnston

Hi, thanks for your comment! The GitHub repo including the source code, documentation and links to some demo videos can be found here: https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/microwave

If you want to get started really quick and only need live playback functions also try out my own project: https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/microwave

tune: A library with mature support for pitch calculations, SCL files, KBM files, MIDI Tuning Standard and live retuning

I wrote a software https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/tune-cli that can receive standard (single- or multi-channel) MIDI in events and convert them to microtonal multi-channel MIDI events which should be understandable by most synthesizers. On top of that In wrote a graphical user interface https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/microwave which also comes with a built-in modular synth engine and soundfont renderer. I am currently working on migrating the UI to a modern 3D engine for better visualizations like keyboards and a Lumatone. IOW the project is still actively developed by me. Let me know if you think those apps could be useful for you and if you have questions about how to use them.

My own tools tune-cli and microwave which I use for my compositions both support a variety of tuning methods including retuning via MIDI fine-tuning messages.
