what

A monome synthesizer using overtone + the clojure monome-serial library.

why

I want to be able to download overtone instruments and apply them directly to my monome / have the ability to change them on the fly.

install

Install the necessary clojure dependencies

cake deps

Now make yourself a directory of instruments:

mkdir -p ~/.ginger/instruments

Now you can start adding in .clj files that describe overtone insturments / synths in this directory.

The current source code assumes that you have a beep.clj instrument defined in this configuration directory.

usage

• boot up swank-server ala slime in an emacs buffer: M-x clojure-jack-in <RET>
• in your slime REPL, enter in: (use 'ginger.core)
• start mashing buttons

TODOs

• allow user to toggle through instruments on the monome (currently you can only toggle through the first two)
• determine pitch mapping from instruments
• dynamic home path
• autoload ttyUSB / configure loading monome
