Modular synth:

(Note: I'm not a musician or sound designer.)

Runs on MacOS X Builds with ghc 7.8.4 Your mileage may vary with other versions and platforms. It's challenging to get all the right library dependencies with cabal. It doesn't like to run in a sandbox because the hint library version I'm using doesn't run in a sandbox.

Read Moodler/doc/intro.html for installation info and manual.

NOTES

Things you can try

  • Try grabbing the output ends of cables and plugging them in elsewhere.
  • Try dragging on knobs.
  • 'alt-drag' on background.
  • 'alt-q' to quit.
  • 'alt-r' to run an external command. These are loaded from scripts/
  • 'alt-l' to load a complete patch. These are loaded from saves/ Files in saves/ were all machine generated with 's'. Type type the final ".hs" in an argument to 'r' or 'l'
  • 'alt-s' to save a complete patch.
  • '' to delete a module.
  • '=' while on a knob to set its (floating point number) value.

You can also

  • Write scripts. Look in scripts/ Many of those are machine generated so aren't so human readable. Look in scripts/bindings.hs to see how to bind scripts to keystrokes.
  • The scripts are largely modules built entirely inside Moodler (apart from the graphics, for which I use Omnigraffle) from more primitive components.

This is "research" code, not a polished application.

I'll write a proper tutorial when the code stabilises a bit.

It's a little slow to load large patches and it's a tiny bit slow responding to key bindings. These are because these operations are using the entire GHC interpreter via hint. Everything else is fast.

Every time you change a patch cable, moodler builds and compiles an entire C program which it loads as a DSO. (One day it will also unload DSOs when it's finished with them.)
