    Velato language - write code with music

  • Hi, I'm the creator of Velato. I will be reworking the website to include more examples later this year. In the mean time, the latest version of the compiler is on github: https://github.com/rottytooth/Velato

    No one has yet written a quine although I would love to see one -- perhaps outputting its representation in lilypond format.

  • strudel

    Web-based environment for live coding algorithmic patterns, incorporating a faithful port of TidalCycles to JavaScript

  • 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.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    Graph-oriented live coding language and music/audio DSP library written in Rust
