Evolving Code into Music
將程式碼演化成音樂

The Dawn of Konduktiva MIDI Player
In the beginning of the development, users are not able to change the content they want to play easily, but we managed to send MIDI signals with Javascript. Our aim was to create a Javascript musical library capable of playing customized chords for live coding performance.
Keyboard Filter
Because we wanted to spice up our library, we made a keyboard filter that quantizes the notes users play on a keyboard to certain chords. With the new addition of the MIDI keyboard filter, users can play chords by pressing random keys on a MIDI keyboard at the same time. Now everyone can be a musician (sort of) with the keyboard filter in Konduktiva. You're a musician, Harry.
Users can also play arpeggios by pressing keys individually
Latest Version (up to 2024 January 29)
This is the newest version of Konduktiva. In this version, users are allowed to enter their own custom chord progressions in Roman numeral. It also supports recording MIDI with major DAWs.
Please enjoy this video of the chord progression of Never Gonna Give You Up played in an absurdly fast speed.
