Progressive, runnable walk-throughs. Start with Hello Sine and work your way down.
Hello Sine
Every Akkado program is a signal flow graph. The smallest one is a sine wave sent to the output:
ReadShaping Sound with Filters
Filters remove or emphasize certain frequencies. A raw saw or square is harmonically dense — bright, buzzy, hard to listen to for long. A filter is how you c…
ReadBuilding Synth Voices
Oscillators and filters give you tone. Envelopes give you notes — they decide when the sound starts and when it dies away.
ReadRhythm & Patterns
Everything in Akkado syncs to a global clock. The trigger function creates pulses:
ReadTesting Progression
Systematic test progression from basic synthesis to complex patterns
ReadCookbook
Short, runnable recipes — drums, bass, pads, leads, generative patterns.
ReadPattern Modulation
So far patterns have driven note pitches. They're also plain values you can plug into any DSP slot, attach to per-event properties, or combine with arithmetic.
ReadMigrating from Tidal, Strudel, or SuperCollider
Pattern-language and synthesis analogues for users coming from other live-coding ecosystems.
