1-UP

Live coding environment, built harboring simplicity and portability. Built with the beginner in mind - to break out of standard frameworks and notational systems of music.

Usage

1. Download the latest release
2. Open terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the release (e.g. cd ~/Downloads/1up)
3. ./1up {port_number} {no. of channels}

Functions

Mono Note

m!/{note}/{velocity}/{duration}/

Poly Note

p!/{notes seperated by commas}/{velocities seperates by commas, or just one value if all notes are the same}/{duration}/

Wait

w!{duration}

Loops

1-UP is designed around a fascination for the euclidean sequence. This allows for immediate musicality amongst the user's journey into the world of live coding.

Encapsulate a sequence of functions between ( and ) (on their own lines) to create the loop, directly following the closing bracket of the loop, add a . and then the subdivision of the euclidean sequence (must be over the number of functions in the loop).

Example:

(
m!/C3/127/1000/
m!/E3/127/1000/
m!/F3/127/1000/
).7
