 Here is an overview of creating electronic music on your computer or other electronic devices.
+The process starts with choosing your platform. From a computer and laptop to different devices. You can see a [[misc:nec#programable_hardware|list of hardware below]].
+Then depending on which device you work with, you can choose a [[misc:nec#soft_synth|soft synth]] or a [[misc:nec#programming_language|programming language]] to work with or both.
+If you know a programming language already, you can look into libraries or project that is oriented toward music and live coding.
+Each section of your [[misc:nec#workflow|workflow]] can be hardware, code or software. For example, you can code your synth, then have a hardware controller to change some of the variables, and use a software sequencer to play the music. Each platform tool will have their strength and weaknesses so you'll have to experiment around to find what works for you.

 In a live performance, you might end up using multiple tools. For example, you might have a 'control' or 'sequencer' or an 'algorithm' which would trigger a sound sample or a synth tool. This would then be fed into an effect and mixer, and finally, you would send that to a tool to broadcast or to record in a DAW (digital audio interface).

 To connect all these tools, you will often need to rely on a system to help you route your midi from one too to the other and route the sound to the right destination.  [[https://drobilla.net/software/patchage.html|Patchage]] is one tool that can be used for this.

While MIDI is a more mature system which is used on hardware synth as well as software synth, OSC is a newer system which offers more possibilities and ease of programming.
