== Beat DJ by Soniare == | |||
- Beat DJ is a colorful microtonal music program tailored for live improvisation and daily use as a digital audio workstation (DAW), with a focus on electronic dance music. It is like a hybrid between DJing and producing. | |||
- It features a command-line interface that allows users to create scales using a `scale` command, supporting equal divisions of the octave (EDO), just intonation (JI), and custom scales. The tonic of the scale is always tuned to the BPM which is often preferable for dance music. These scales can be exported as .scl or .kbm files for use in other software. | |||
- Visually it looks like livecoding software like Tidal Cycles but is much simpler. It heavily uses samples and comes with a large database of free sounds but you can also use your own. It comes with a large collection of synthesized sounds called Generators. You can also write your own C# scripts to generate sounds and visuals. | |||
