==================== picopico sequencer is a web-based and Flash-free music sequencer and sythesizer. It employs the brand new WebAudio API for playing the sounds. So as of now it's very likely that Picopico Sequencer only works properly on Google Chrome.
The Japanese word "Picopico" generally refers to the sounds produced by the traditional video game consoles such as the Family Computer and Super Family Computer(SFC), which are also known as NES and SNES in English-spoken countries. So the name "Picopico Sequencer" suggests that the program can only produce such eh...(I don't know how it can be described in English) primitive sounds.
Notice that the program can't be run out-of-the-box because it lacks some dependencies by default. So you must first explicitly install extra dependency files. See the How to run the program section for more details.
- MML editing
- A visual representation in piano roll
- Total of 6 types of "primitive" sound waves
- The potential of generating any type of sound
- Saving edited files to LocalStorage, the server or the local system
- Opening files from LocalStorage, the server or the local system
- MML editing in GUI(not yet implemented)
As mentioned above, you can't run the program out of the box. To run the program, you need to have the dojo library in the proper directory.
There are two ways to do that. One is to download dojo files and move the files to the proper directory by yourself.
And the other is to simply use the git submodule commands. In detail you must first execute git submodule init on the root directory of the
project and then just type git submodule update or just use git submodule update --init --recursive. Then it will collect all modules the
program needs and will immediately take you to the tour of the program.
At the very end of development, you must build the program to reduce the number of HTTPRequests and the program size. To do that, you must just invoke the build.sh at the root directory of the project.
- dojo for the great graphical user interfaces
- treehugger for the AST of parsed MML
- jasmine for testing framework
I'd like to say a big "Thank you" to all developers and contributors of these projects!
