Tek – A music making program for 24-bit Unicode terminals

  • There's demo video at https://v.basspistol.org/w/eUCnnNJugRZ5haqyuYQ2CK

  • In case anyone else wondered, it doesn't seem to involve Tek (Tektronix) terminal graphics. Maybe the name was an homage?

  • Oh no, you're supposed to have the channels on the x-axis and time on the y-axis ;) mutters about good old days

  • Neat! For those who prefer a more direct, terminal-based approach to making music with code, check out also Glicol-CLI:

  • I love the top down tracker UI. For some more you can look at Aphex Twin using PlayerPRO [0] and Hitori Tori using Renoise [1]

    Both are mindblowing.

  • Really awesome UI. Is there a quick YouTube demo?

  • Was hoping to see a tracker, I think that would be a better fit for the terminal

  • For the non-arch users, the build script has a typo:

    Don't use bin/, use build/

  • This title makes me desire a hardware 24 bit unicode terminal.

  • Are there any DAWs that support VIM keybinds?

  • the binary is kind of broken, output is quite cryptic:

    Error: ClientError(ClientStatus(FAILURE | SERVER_FAILED))
