Features

• Grid-Based Music Sequencing - Provides a two-dimensional grid where operators are placed, with column position determining timing and row defining data flow paths.
• Operator-Based Pattern Generators - Builds musical patterns using single-letter operations that trigger each frame or on bang events for live coding.
• Procedural Generation - Generates step-based patterns with randomness, Euclidean rhythms, and conditional triggers for driving external instruments.
• Step-Based Pattern Generators - Enables creation of step-based pattern generators that send MIDI, OSC, or UDP data to external audio software.
• Live Coding Music Performance - Creates musical sequences and controls external devices in real time by placing and modifying operators on a grid during a live performance.
• Real-Time Operator Composition - Lets you replace and create new operators on the grid during playback for live interactive performance.
• MIDI and OSC Interfaces - Sends MIDI notes, control changes, and OSC messages over virtual ports to control synthesizers and audio software.
• Control Change Outputs - Sends MIDI control changes, pitch bend, and program change values over a selected MIDI channel to modulate synthesizer parameters.
• Note Outputs - Transmits MIDI note-on and note-off messages with channel, octave, pitch, velocity, and duration to external synthesizers and DAWs.
• OSC Message Outputs - Sends integer values under named paths via OSC to configurable ports and IP addresses for controlling external audio software.
• MIDI Output Controls - Sends note events, control changes, pitch bend, and program changes over MIDI channels to control synthesizers and audio software.
• Symbolic Operator Languages - Employs a symbolic operator language where each function is encoded as a single ASCII character for compact visual composition.
• Grid Data Flow Routing - Moves values and triggers directionally using movement operators and gates to control data propagation through a patch grid.
• Symbolic Routing Operators - Provides dedicated operator symbols that control directed propagation of triggers and data across a two-dimensional grid.
• Sequencer Frame Steps - Advances the sequencer one step each frame, with clock operators generating periodic bang events to drive execution.
• Sequencer Command Interfaces - Provides a command-line prompt and external UDP message interface to adjust sequencer settings or inject patterns on the fly.
• Algorithmic Patterns - Produces procedural rhythms and values using random numbers, Euclidean algorithms, arithmetic, and conditional logic.
• Dynamic Operator Placement - Allows operators to be replaced or created on the grid during playback to modify behavior dynamically in real time.
• Procedural Value Generators - Generates random numbers, Euclidean rhythms, arithmetic results, and conditional triggers based on inputs.
• Monophonic Note Modes - Supports monophonic note mode, stopping the previous note when a new one begins for monophonic synthesizers.
• Port-Mapped Output Transmitters - Sends MIDI, OSC, and UDP messages to configurable ports, abstracting hardware connections as target addresses.
• UDP Command Protocols - Sends string payloads over UDP to external software or hardware, triggered by bang events for lightweight network communication.
• UDP Message Outputs - Transmits string payloads over UDP to configurable ports and IP addresses on each bang event for lightweight network communication.
• Music Programming - Live programming environment for music.
