A wrapper for the IO monad that instead of writing sings its output in Solresol, using the Euterpea library for MIDI playback.
Supported singables include:
- integers (Haskell's Int type)
- strings (in case-insensitive Solresol latin notation, separated with spaces)
- Euterpea's Music structures
Each example, if run with no arguments, will display the list of devices available for MIDI input/output.
>> ./MariaAndDraco
Input devices:
InputDeviceID 1 Midi Through Port-0
Output devices:
OutputDeviceID 0 Midi Through Port-0
OutputDeviceID 2 TiMidity port 0
OutputDeviceID 3 TiMidity port 1
OutputDeviceID 4 TiMidity port 2
OutputDeviceID 5 TiMidity port 3
OutputDeviceID 6 TiMidity port 0
OutputDeviceID 7 TiMidity port 1
OutputDeviceID 8 TiMidity port 2
OutputDeviceID 9 TiMidity port 3
When a valid OutputDeviceID is provided as the first (and only)
argument, the program will run normally, executing its Singer.
A simple program naively computing the first 50 Fibonacci numbers (considering 0 as the 0-th Fibonacci number) and singing them out.
This presents how musical output is independent from the computations.
An example program showing how the Singer can be used in concurrent programming.
The program spawns two threads:
- one thread sings "do" in an infinite loop
- one thread sings "si" in an infinite loop
The result is an undeterministic sequence of C and B notes.
The program reads a short love poem called 'La Redomifa' written in the Latin notation of Solresol.
The poem can be found here.
An adaptation of 'Aria di Mezzo Carattere', a part of the opera sequence from Final Fantasy VI (a.k.a. Final Fantasy III).
It combines the multi-threading presented in Fork with the solresol reading capabilities presented in Poem.
