README.md

tek

Tek is a MIDI sequencer, sampler, and plugin host for the Linux terminal.

See demos/project.edn for the initial contents of the session.

Requirements

  • Linux
  • Rust toolchain
  • JACK or Pipewire

Recommended

  • MIDI controller
  • Samples at ~/Lab/Music/pak
  • Odin2 LV2 ~/.lv2/Odin2.lv2

Overview

Tek is inspired by "clip launching" workflows as exemplified by Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, Ardour, and probably others. The main view consists of three sections:

  • The arranger view corresponds to Ableton's Session and Arrangement views. It allows you to put together a musical composition as a sequence of phrases, playing simultaneously across multiple tracks.
  • The sequencer view allows you to edit phrases, which consist of MIDI events.
  • The chain view allows you to add devices to each track. Devices determine how a given phrase will sound. Currently, there are two devices implemented: sampler and plugin.

Note

Use Tab to switch focus between views. Use Enter to exclusively focus the highlighted view, and Esc to unfocus it. When a view is focused, use the Arrow Keys and Enter to navigate. Use ; (semicolon) to open the command palette, which will list the remaining keybindings.
