Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Made by Adam Renklint, Berlin august 2015. Inspired by Typedrummer by Kyle Stetz.

Concepts

  • Timing is step based, where a default step is two 1/16th beats, i.e. 48 ticks
  • A pattern consists of several layered sequences
  • A sequence maps to a kit by id and contains an array of notes
  • A note contains instructions for how to play back a sample

Syntax

/86     define bpm, 86 by default (optional)
/1-9=   define kit id for sequence

## step triggers
a-z     trigger key, oneshot
A-Z     trigger key, note on until next
_       skip step, not blocking "note on" triggers
:       mute step, blocking "note on" triggers
!       repeat last note, including transient modifiers
?       repeat last note, decrease volume 25% (i.e. manual echo)
&       layer next with previous note, i.e. jump back to previous position
*       jump to start on next step and repeat sequence
;       jump to start on next bar and repeat sequence

## persistent modifiers
(       increase step resolution
)       decrease step resolution
[       start block, nestable, applies transient modifiers to block
]       end block
,       start triplet resolution (48 > 32)
.       stop triplet resolution (32 > 48)

## transient modifiers
+       pitch up next note (1/12th of octave)
-       pitch down next note
%       lower volume 20% for next note
^       raise volume 20% for next note
{       pan next note to 25% left
}       pan next note to 25% right
<       pull next note cursor 1/12th step back
>       push next note cursor 1/12th step forward
~       shift sample starting point 0.1 seconds
'       fade in next note attack in 0.1 seconds
`       fade out next note release in 0.1 seconds
≈       reverse next note or group (alt + x)
∞       loop the first 0.1 seconds of sample (alt + 5)

## transient modifier parameters
+52     pitch up next note (52/100th of octave)
-18     pitch down next note (18/100th)
%33     lower volume 33% for next note
^10     raise volume 10% for next note
{40     pan next note to 40% left
}60     pan next note to 60% right
<10     pull next note cursor 10 ticks back
>8      push next note cursor 8 ticks forward
~350    shift sample starting point 0.35 seconds
'250    fade in next note attack in 0.25 seconds
`800    fade out next note release in 0.8 seconds
∞250    loop the first 0.25 seconds of sample
§333    set next note sample maxlength to 0.333 seconds (alt + 6)

## effect modifiers
∆         bitcrush to 12 bits (alt + j)
∆8|30|40  bitcrush to 8 bits, at frequency 30/100, mix 40%

Install

$ npm install --save qwak

Usage

var qwak = require('qwak');
var pattern = qwak.parse('/qwak');

qwak.parse(raw:string) -> pattern

Parses a raw qwak string into a qwak pattern, an object with the attributes tempo:number, bars:number and sequences:array. Each sequence contains kit:number, bars:number and notes:array. A note contains key:string, oneshot:boolean, pitch:number, volume:number, pan:number and offset:number.

Examples

/qwak           The most basic qwak sequence
/q+wa-k         Pitch "w" note up, and "k" down
/90/2=foxobaxa  Use kit 2 at 90 bpm

For more examples, have a look at the extensive test suite
