|
## design goals
|
|
|
|
* inspired by trackers and hardware sequencers,
|
|
but with the critical feature that 90s samplers lack:
|
|
able to **resample, i.e. record while playing!**
|
|
|
|
* **pop-up scratchpad for musical ideas.**
|
|
low resource consumption, can stay open in background.
|
|
but flexible enough to allow expanding on compositions
|
|
|
|
* **human- and machine- readable project format**
|
|
simple representation for project data
|
|
enable scripting and remapping.
