I’ve started writing a new tool to help generate MIDI output. The song part consists of chunks of patterns that get output to MIDI when play is activated.
Patterns describe the notes to output:
These are notes – but not as you’d know them. The scale and mode (see the top) describe which notes get used (in this case C Major). That way any notes you play are always “musical” as the scale isn’t chromatic (i.e. all the twelve notes) but on a scale.
Instead of four global FX, instead I’m going for 4 FX slots per instrument. You can build a simple chain of FX that way.
Instruments with a delay window (now modeless)
Woohoo! I now have some filters and effects in my music app!
Reverb and filters are JUCE supplied; delay I wrote myself, flange and chorus came from descriptions on the web.
