Welcome to Cagire

Cagire is a terminal-based step sequencer for live coding music. Each step in a pattern contains a Forth script that produces sound and create events. It is made by BuboBubo (Raphaël Maurice Forment): https://raphaelforment.fr. Cagire is open-source (AGPL-3.0 licensed) and available on GitHub : https://github.com/BuboBubo/cagire. This help view will teach you everything you need to know to start using Cagire and and to live code with it.

Pages

Cagire is organized in several views. Navigate between them using Ctrl+Left/Right/Up/Down:

  • Sequencer: Main view. Edit or preview patterns and scripts. Write Forth scripts.
  • Patterns: Project patterns management. 32 banks of 32 patterns per project. Edit pattern properties (name, length, etc).
  • Engine: Internal audio engine management: device selection, sample loading, performance options and voice / state monitoring.
  • Options: General application settings.
  • Dict: Forth word dictionary, organized by category. Learn about the internal programming language and its features.
  • Help: Documentation. This is the page view you are looking at right now.

Have fun with Cagire! Remember that live coding is all about experimentation and exploration!
