Mass

Mass is a Ruby framework for building MIDI synthesizer controls.

Installation

On Linux, the libasound and libasound-dev are required for use.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mass'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself:

$ gem install mass

Usage

To create a new pattern, use the DSL methods that Mass gives you upon mixing it into whatever namespace you're dealing with.

require 'mass'

include Mass

bpm 128
pattern bars: 4 do
  note 4, pitch: 'C2'
  note 4, pitch: 'C3'
  note 4, pitch: 'C4'
  note 4, pitch: 'C3'
end

Read the RDoc documentation for more information on each component and what each DSL method does.
