The Topos interface is entirely dedicated to highlight the core concepts at play: _scripts_ and _universes_. By understanding the interface, you will already understand quite a lot about Topos and how to play music with it. Make sure to learn the dedicated keybindings as well and you will fly!

## Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
Every Topos session is composed of several small scripts. A set of scripts is called a _universe_. Every script is written using the JavaScript programming language and describes a musical or algorithmic process that takes place over time.

Topos is deeply inspired by the [Monome Teletype](https://monome.org/). The Teletype is/was an open source hardware module for Eurorack synthesizers. While the Teletype was initially born as an hardware module, Topos aims to be a web-browser based software sequencer from the same family! It is a sequencer, a scriptable interface, a companion for algorithmic music-making. Topos wishes to fullfill the same goal than the Teletype, keeping the same spirit alive on the web. It is free, open-source, and made to be shared and used by everyone.
