Audion – Music Sequencing Language
github.comInteresting. How does it compare to e.g. Faust or the SuperCollider language? What's the "unique selling point" of Audion compared to other "music programming languages"?
Hi! sure, first of all its full stack / general, e.g. read a sensor, write a file, serve a request, trigger some videos or dim lights and query a database, just using builtins. All while sequencing instruments and interacting with a performer. Instead of providing timing and composition abstractions it’s completely open: threads are in sync so a for loop is the sequencer, a separate thread gives you more polyphony and timing is a primitive that is very easy to control and build an top of.
The integration with supercollider (SC) makes SC syntax somewhat simpler? That part may be somewhat opinionated however Audion does not need SC, if you have hardware or software instruments you can use that.
So I think in one phrase: A small language that is fun to write and lets you hack music.
