For

live coding

For live coders who write patterns as text and change them while they play. A pattern drives notes only so far, not sample names or parameters.

patterns and sequencing

Notes and rhythms are written as steps, grids, rolls or text, and they play whatever chips they are wired to.

A patch keeps time from its own clock, from another app or from no clock at all, and parts of it can keep different time.

Machines on one network join the same room, keep the same tempo and report how they are running.

A finished patch goes to someone else as a plugin, a link that plays in the browser, or a box they plug in.

You write the sound processing yourself in Koda and check what each part of it does to the signal.
