To sum it up, think: "_making music in real time through code_". Code used as an expressive medium for musical improvisation! Topos uses small algorithms to represent musical sequences and processes. ${makeExample( "Small algorithms for direct musical expression", ` rhythm(.5, 4, 8) :: sound('drum').out() rhythm(.25, [5, 7].beat(2), 8) :: sound(['hc', 'fikea', 'hat'].pick(1)) .lpf([500, 4000+usine(1/2)*2000]).pan(r(0, 1)).ad(0, [1, .5]) .db(-ir(1,8)).speed([1,[0.5, 2].pick()]).room(0.5).size(3).o(4).out() beat([2,0.5].dur(13.5, 0.5))::snd('fsoftsnare') .n(0).speed([1, 0.5]).o(4).out()`, false, )} ${makeExample( "Computer music should be immediate and intuitive", ` let chord_prog = [0, 0, 5].bar() // Chord progression beat(.25)::snd('sine') .note(chord_prog + [60, 64, 67, 71].mouseX() + [-12,0,12].beat(0.25)) // Notes .fmi([1, 1.5, 2, 4].beat()) // FM synthesis .ad(0, r(0.1, .25)) // Envelope .lpf(500 + usine(1/4)*1500) // Filter Envelope .lpad(4, 0, .125) .delay(0.5).delayt(0.25).delayfb(0.7) // Delay .room(0.5).size(8) // Reverb .out()`, false, )} ${makeExample( "Making the web less dreadful, one beep at at time", ` beat(.5) :: sound('sid').n($(2)) .room(1).speed([1,2].pick()).out() beat(.25) :: sound('sid').note( [34, 36, 41].beat(.25) + [[0,-24].pick(),12].beat()) .room(0.9).size(0.9).n(4).out()`, false, )} 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 cousin of it! It is a sequencer, a scriptable interface, a companion for algorithmic music-making. Topos wishes to fullfill the same goal as the Teletype, keeping the same spirit alive on the web. It is free, open-source, and made to be shared and used by everyone.

Press ${key_shortcut( "F5", )} and listen to them all! The demo songs are also used a bit everywhere in the documentation to illustrate some of the working principles :). ## Support
