overtones

A hands-on overtone synthesizer for building new tonal colors, built in Elm using the best of modern web technologies and functional programming.

This project was inspired by The Haskell School of Expression, especially the idea that the power of functional programming (and functional reactive programming) is well-suited for multimedia projects.

The eventual goal is to make this product platform-agnostic by wrapping it in Electron.

How to get started

0. Make sure you have Node and NPM installed.

1. Install dependencies

    npm install -g yarn
    npm install -g elm
    npm install -g elm-test
    yarn install
    elm-make --yes
   

(with building and running)

2. Run the build

    yarn build
   

3. Open dist/index.html in a browser. The entire contents of dist/ are what you want to host.

(with developing)

2. Start the dev server with auto-building

    yarn start
   

3. Open your browser to localhost:3000

4. (Optional) Install VS Code (or your choice of text editor) with the VS Code elm extension (or the analogue for your text editor), along with the elm-format package (npm install -g elm-format) for a more robust IDE experience.
