Using ArpEgg
Some quick instructions (better ones soon!):
1) Create a project
2) Create a file. File must end in “.arp” for it to generate midi files.
3) Check the paper for grammar and settings.
Here’s an example:
%DEPTH=4
%CEILING=6
%FLOOR=2
%BOUNDSRULE=REFLECT
S=AUA
A=[N++!!N-!NB]
B=[N--N-A+*N--*N+*N_S]
U=///////
4) When you save the .arp file, a matching .midi file will be generated in a /midi folder under the project.
5) If your system is configured to play .midi files then simply double clicking on it should launch your system player (e.g. WMP). Better still of course is if you have sequencer/DAW, in which case you can just drag the .midi file and drop it in.
There’s some very basic error handling that will print in the console if you type something in wrong.
