		 Haskore Music System
		 --------------------

This is a revised and extended version of Haskore from

http://darcs.haskell.org/haskore/

which evolved from the February 2000 release, available from:

http://haskell.org/haskore/

The features are:

• music can be composed by programming Haskell

• the music is output into MIDI files, CSound, or SuperCollider, or even rendered to an audio stream with http://darcs.haskell.org/synthesizer/

• CSound instruments can generated by programming Haskell, as well

• all modules can be used with GHC, and many of them with Hugs

For more details, refer to the Tutorial.

For installation we recommend Cabal.

$ ./Setup.lhs configure --user $ ./Setup.lhs build $ ./Setup.lhs haddock $ ./Setup.lhs install

This way you have a usable Haskore installation.

However most modules are written in literate style with LaTeX markup. There are no Haddock comments. You can build a PDF file which introduces you to the internals of Haskore. However it got a bit out of sync over the time, many parts are now extracted into separate packages. You can build the documentation using

$ make pdf

.

Certainly you will want to try some examples. To this end you must have installed CSound or a MIDI player, respectively.

$ make ghci # interactive session in GHC or $ make hugs # interactive session in Hugs ... *Main> :load Haskore.Interface.CSound.Tutorial ... *Haskore.Interface.CSound.Tutorial> test tut13 ... *Main> :load Haskore.Interface.MIDI.Render Haskore.Example.ChildSong6 ... *Haskore.Interface.MIDI.Render> playTimidity Haskore.Example.ChildSong6.song ...

You can choose other MIDI players. Type

*Haskore.Interface.MIDI.Render> :browse Haskore.Interface.MIDI.Render

to see the alternatives.

If you like to play via SuperCollider, install the haskore-supercollider package from http://darcs.haskell.org/haskore-supercollider and continue with its Readme file.
