Earlier quoted context omitted.

You made an entire performance. Good, good job

I found that annoying on the editor, but if used on a 2nd screen to build graphics programmatically (fractals, etc), or via an external port to drive RGB LEDs arrays or matrices, results could be spectacular. Imagine fractals driven by music or a giant spectrum analyzer made of LED strips.

I recently bodged together a board that would drive FastLED programs parameterized by the control voltages that come off a eurorack, it was really neat and straightforward because you have some really good clock sources to sync to

Even though Algorave is quite new, everyone who ever touched .mod/.s3m/.xm/.it can fell young again haha.

DJ_Dave live events are the best illustration for all of it. If you love electronic music, ever touched any generative art, and know basic coding this is for you.

Loved playing with it! https://strudel.cc/?qVv8Cr0OD6cc

I shed an actual tear. I dreamed of days like this. I got close, building a small language for generating generic music, but with decay, sawtooth and stuff? It's a functional DAW.

> functional DAW

I made Lambda Musika[0][1] a long time ago and its elevator pitch is literally "Lambda Musika, the functional DAW" (as in functional programming).

Check the teal button at the bottom for other examples!

I don't use it that much anymore (Strudel's language is truly expressive) but I still reach for it when I want to do sound design, since Strudel is more like a sequencer (where Lambda Musika lacks).

Strudel is great! But... are these really chords? note("c4 e4 g4 c5").sound("triangle")

As a sibling comment said, it's a C major chord, but voiced one noted at a time. "usually" / in pop, you hear all the notes at once.

> but voiced one noted at a time

I think OP's point is that the very definition of a chord is a bunch of notes played at the same time.

I was just talking to JChris Anderson about Strudel last week, he forked it, adding "snaps" where users can snapshot their work allowing for the creation of multi-layered songs, added a "vibe" tab so anyone can easily update the code with pompts, and a few other changes.

Here's the fork on GitHub: https://github.com/VibesDIY/strudel

Here's a preview of what it would look like when merged: https://strudel.use-vibes.com/

Here he is playing around with the preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oJhnkWDafM

I think chords at least three notes played at once, with the exception of maybe power chords. Using your definition, every piece with two or more notes has chords :)
