I'd also like to be able to visualize the contents of the tracks in a particular way.

I think Cinder will probably be sufficient for building the UI and doing the audio recording and mixing. I'll probably write my own MIDI layer, and I'll probably bolt on Lua for implementing the sequencer's high level logic.

If this ends up being a good way for me to make music I might try to incorporate it into Tangerine, since the general scheme here could be tweaked to make building dynamic soundtracks really easy.

@aeva it's hard to explain, but @nasser made a livecoding music interface thing that might be similar to what you're making, maybe???

@efi I'm looking to maybe build something that is controlled by a midi keyboard primarily for recording arranging and playback, because most music software assumes a normal computer as the interface but also because most music software honestly is really intimidating to me and doesn't really fit the way I like to approach making music

@aeva oooh, ok... well, I don't know shit about music, so let me know if I can help (???)

@efi I had piano lessons for most of my childhood, gave up on it as a tween, then picked it up again I think about 4 or 5 years ago and self taught myself a bunch of music theory and how to compose music. The way I'm used to writing music is sheet music oriented, which nobody does for electronic music, so the going has been kinda slow

@efi I think I've used that one, but it didn't really click

aeva replied to aeva

@efi I'm really shooting for something that's more in the ballpark of "mario paint" or a pocket operator in terms of interface complexity

@aeva have you considered using JUCE for this purpose?

@aeva ah. I see, so it's more a right tool is what you know thing? I suggested it because it's designed for writing audio plugins
