formu

formu is a c/c++ header that generates music with seven voices of subtractive synthesis in under 1500 lines. the zip file contains x86 and x64 builds for windows that will generate music endlessly.

formuLOVE adds a delay, reverb and risers for listenability but the project has been heavily cursed. maybe you can't tell but after they got to it it was just dead, always makes dumb music now which is why i was unable to capture a video for it despite days of making captures. tried again after a few weeks, they killed the energy. i have bad enemies. annoying repetitive bonk snares instead of interesting patterns, agonic ear misery.

the header is intended to make procedural music synthesis very easy to pick up and modify, to easily add your own ideas to an existing context. the code is compact because i have a small screen, but the structure is very simple.. 12 or 16 counts make a measure, measures make a passage, evolving through at least four passages before a global reroll. evolve it! show me what a procedural artform can be.

procedural media is a way to study you ;) your perception, your expectations. have fun, ask questions. the source code also serves as a repository for choice c++ audio functions (thanks to mystran and robin schmidt).
