Cacio by Michiel

Strudel-inspired live coding in ComputerCraft

Cacio plays noteblock sounds using playNote.

Built-in functions:

• note/n: set the note to a certain semitone (0-24, starting on a F#, the octave depends on the instrument) (named notes and scales are not supported yet)
• sound/s: set the sound to a certain noteblock instrument (aliases exist for bd, sd, hh, and cb)
• gain/g: set the gain (volume, 0.0-3.0)

The first pattern determines the rhythm. The mini notation is the same as in strudle, but polyphony (,), split (.), randomness (?), Euclidean rhythms x(3,8), and runs (..) are not implemented (yet).

See the examples folder for some fun examples :)

Cacio editor

cacio is a live coding editor for Cacio. Optionally, you can give it a filename as an argument to open and save the code to a file (for examples cacio examples/touch).

Some useful keyboard shortcuts:

• Ctrl+Enter play/update music (also automatically saves)
• Ctrl+. stop music
• Ctrl+s save to file
• Ctrl+w quit (also automatically saves)
• F5 reload editor (nice for developement)
• And various text editing shortcuts, including Ctrl+/ for commenting the current line, Ctrl+left/right/backspace/delete to jump over words, and Alt+up/down to move lines horizontally

Cacio library (w.i.p.)

I would like to also make it possible to use cacio as a library to play music in other programs. This is still a work in progress, and I first want to focus on implementing more features for Cacio.
