Right now I don't have much here; soon there will be more.

Csound

Currently I'm planning to pipe output from my program to Csound to play the music. Below are some of my test files to figure out how to use Csound. To play Csound files, run csound filename.orc filename.sco -o /dev/dsp on some machine that has a working sound card.

  • Scale test (orchestra and score) - plays C major, natural minor, harmonic minor, and melodic minor scales

ABC Plus

ABC Plus seems like a more logical solution - it is easily convertable to both postscript (for printing) and midi (for playing). I'm still learning how to use it, but here is a quick test I've made to show some of its abilities.

  • Scale test (abc, ps) - shows a C major scale with a cresendo.
  • Mortal Kombat (abc, ps) - used in detail on the research page.
  • Lindenmayer Systems test (abc, ps) - described on the research page.
