Tuna 1.0
Tuna 1.0
The first release: generative music on the FM-1, composed as it plays.
- 89 composers and styles in 10 eras, from Hildegard von Bingen to today, in 285 manners; 86 popular genres in
8 decades, the 1950s to now; 8 character presets, from STILL to DRIVE. - The melodies of 45 composers tuned toward what 3,486 public-domain scores of theirs measure.
- 93 instruments on Felucca's engines, levels evened out; odd meters and grouped beats; equal, meantone,
Werckmeister, Pythagorean, just and user-defined tunings. - The chaos knobs RHYTHM, PITCH, DENSITY and MACRO; a tapped key sets the root, held keys the chord; the seed on
OCT− / OCT+; REC locks the phrase. - A sequencer: freeze what you hear into an editable pattern of up to 384 notes, with trig conditions, parameter
locks and an evolution timer. - 16 slots that save the whole state and play back exactly the music that was saved.
- MIDI out with every part on its own channel, and clock; a resonator of sympathetic strings tuned to the harmony.
- Plays for days on end: the sample clock wraps without a hiccup.
- In the browser: the same firmware on a simulated FM-1.
Runs on the FM-1. To go back: Felucca's installer, or the official V15.
