 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.  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.

 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.  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.
