Scribbletune
Scribbletune is a JavaScript music composition library, MIDI file generator, text-based patch diagrammer, and Web Audio API sequencer. It enables the definition of rhythms, chords, and melodies using string-based notation for real-time playback in web browsers.
The system transforms simple text notation into SVG visual representations of modular synthesizer signal paths. It also converts programmatically composed musical clips and patterns into standard MIDI files for use in external digital audio workstations.
Composition capabilities include a character-based rhythmic notation system for precise timing, as well as tools for algorithmic melody and riff generation. The library supports harmonic theory utilities such as Roman numeral chord resolution and arpeggio generation, alongside a session-based channel architecture for triggering synthesizers and audio samples.
