I'm just starting to get into this, and yes, it is a ton of fun. I started out using Tidal, now I'm moving onto Overtone (a Clojure library for making music) because it's more about synths and scales than Tidal, which is more about loops and samples.

Both of them are great though. Whichever you get into just depends on what you want to do. Overtone integrates with midi really well too.



I've also done a very little bit of overtone. It's going in the blog when I get back to it after I've done some more Tidal.


How did you learn Overtone? I've used Emacs a bit but never Clojure. How would you recommend getting started?


I just read through the Overtone docs on Github. I've been using Light Table for my IDE. I'm still faster with that than I am with emacs.

Edit: If you just want to basics, this should work for you: http://seabre.github.io/blog/2013/08/31/a-simple-livecoding-...


I've been very keen on getting into Overtone for some time now, what kinds of stuff are you doing with it?


Nothing much yet. Still learning how to do what I want.
