About

Cagire is a step sequencer where each step contains a Forth script instead of typical note data. When the sequencer reaches a step, it runs the script. Scripts can produce sound, trigger samples, apply effects, or do nothing at all. You are free to define what your scripts will do. Cagire includes a built-in audio engine called Doux. No external software is needed to make sound. It comes with oscillators, sample players, filters, reverb, delay, distortion, and more.

Code Examples

A minimal script that plays a middle C note using a sine wave:

c4 note sine sound .

Sawtooth wave with lowpass filter, chorus and reverb:

saw sound 1200 lpf 0.2 chorus 0.8 verb .

Pitched-down kick drum sample with distortion:

kkick sound 1.5 distort 0.8 speed .

Features

Live Coding

Live coding is a technique where a programmer writes code in real-time, often in front of an audience. It can be used to create music, visual art, and other forms of media. Learn more at TOPLAP or livecoding.fr.
