Haskore Music System
--------------------
This is a revised and extended version of Haskore from
http://darcs.haskell.org/haskore/
which evolved from the February 2000 release, available from:
http://haskell.org/haskore/
The features are:
- music can be composed by programming Haskell
- the music is output into MIDI files, CSound, or SuperCollider,
or even rendered to an audio stream with http://darcs.haskell.org/synthesizer/
- CSound instruments can generated by programming Haskell, as well
- all modules can be used with GHC,
and many of them with Hugs
For more details, refer to the Tutorial.
For installation we recommend Cabal.
$ ./Setup.lhs configure --user
$ ./Setup.lhs build
$ ./Setup.lhs haddock
$ ./Setup.lhs install
This way you have a usable Haskore installation.
However most modules are written in literate style with LaTeX markup.
There are no Haddock comments.
You can build a PDF file which introduces you to the internals of Haskore.
However it got a bit out of sync over the time,
many parts are now extracted into separate packages.
You can build the documentation using
$ make pdf
.
Certainly you will want to try some examples.
To this end you must have installed CSound or a MIDI player, respectively.
$ make ghci # interactive session in GHC
or
$ make hugs # interactive session in Hugs
...
*Main> :load Haskore.Interface.CSound.Tutorial
...
*Haskore.Interface.CSound.Tutorial> test tut13
...
*Main> :load Haskore.Interface.MIDI.Render Haskore.Example.ChildSong6
...
*Haskore.Interface.MIDI.Render> playTimidity Haskore.Example.ChildSong6.song
...
You can choose other MIDI players. Type
*Haskore.Interface.MIDI.Render> :browse Haskore.Interface.MIDI.Render
to see the alternatives.
If you like to play via SuperCollider,
install the haskore-supercollider package
from http://darcs.haskell.org/haskore-supercollider
and continue with its Readme file.
